Cool trick for hot day flower runs

I wrap wet paper towels around stems and put them in coolers for delivery. It works great for most flowers, but I'm confused if it's okay for orchids. They don't like too much water. Any florists have experience with this?

Orchids are epiphytes that grow on trees in the wild with exposed roots. Wrapping their stems in wet towels basically drowns the crown and invites rot.
