Have you considered making the plates out of aluminum?

It would be much lighter. That would not only save on shipping, but also make it less likely to break out of the packaging (less inertia). I've shipped a couple dozen of my timing gear alignment verification tools (photo attached), about 7" long and aluminum, via USPS in padded envelopes. Only weighs about 4oz. So far, have not had any problems at all.

You've got a cool product, I'd be in the market to buy a set if you ever ship again.
