Here's one option, not definitive but, a start.

I just shipped 2 Bay Bus jalousie windows across the country. They are fairly heavy and I was worried they wouldn't survive. I bought a 100' x 1' roll of bubble wrap (with the big bubbles) from Home Depot for $12. I wrapped the hell out of them, and then packed tightly in cardboard. I literally used 50' of wrap per window. They arrived perfectly fine.
I guess my only advice would be to not pack them small just to save on shipping size / weight. Give them lots of padding and they should be fine.
Good luck!

Take the latches off. Sandwich the panes together with one layer of thick cardboard between them. Wrap them together with 4+ wraps of bubblewrap. Then make a cardboard box to wrap them. Write, "Unicorn and Rainbow Prints" on them so snowflakes won't damage them.

You are over thinking this. This is not fine crystal you're shipping here. Wrap it in some cardboard and tape it up. Short of putting a forklift tang through it nothing is going to happen. This is tempered glass here, it'll get more abuse in the car then shipping it.
Have you ever wondered how a frame less door glass stays together ? We ship door glasses by common carrier in nothing more then the packing sleeve they are in.
If you are still concerned, find a box that is just a little wider then the glass and make a little slotted support top and bottom and send it on its way.
