Today I received a single chip in the mail and the shipper had a great way of shipping it and protecting it. It came in a hard hockey card cover very cool way I think and cheap about 3$ for 25
I use three pieces of scrap cardboard. Cut a round hole in the middle one, insert chip, make a sandwich. Tape together. Total cost: one foot of scotch tape.

A hockey card is a collectable trading card. One side has a picture of the player (usually an action picture) and the other has statistics. This site has some examples. They were popular with kids, at least when I was growing up. If I still had the mountain of cards I bought between 1977 - 1980, I'd probably be a rich man today...
In the US, I think almost everyone would call them baseball trading cards, and wouldn't have any idea they had ever been made for the sport of hockey. I know I didn't until now.
