How would I go about making these? I mean, the stereotypical ones.

Exactly like those.

What type of plastic is used on the outside? What method would be used to wrap them?

But why?

But why?

I dunno, to make an ornament.

So? 5 gal buckets weighing 60 pounds are not good enough for you?

I can just picture you on the coast of Africa. Sending the buckets back to Columbia & insisting that it all be bricked up.

At least the Colombians have some class. Damn you, African Chief Burundi!

EDIT: But seriously, will cling wrap + that brown tape be enough?

If you had to wear hair shirts & the traditional 'burr undies'? You'd be cranky too!

I honestly don't know but this is from a Microgram entry about some seized bricks.

"each brick was packaged in heat-sealed plastic, tan tape, black carbon paper, cellophane, yellow grease, a second layer of cellophane, and a second layer of black carbon paper. The second exhibit consisted of 20 bricks, which were seized by ICE personnel from a vehicle entering at the San Ysidro POE; each brick was packaged in heat-sealed plastic, black latex, cellophane, tan tape, black grease, clear tape, dryer sheets, and a second layer of cellophane."

I'm sure it varies a lot.

That's not cocaine that's hash, idiot.

Ever saw brown cocaine ?

...

Ever saw colored plastic? Dur-hurr... wtf? erowid knows wtf it's talking about.

Usually you want a layer of latex, a layer of carbon paper, and some kinda good adhesive to hold it airtight.

But this all depends on what kind of customs/inspections you're trying to avoid. Carbon paper is for x-rays iirc, latex and heat-shrink plastic are essential for keeping it airtight, and the other stuff seems to just vary by preference/availability to the person wrapping it.

Try getting a brick-shaped press, and press them. then put them in whatever you want.

It's pretty fuckin' simple. If you have enough cocaine to make a brick, you should know how to press it.
