Re: [motm] OT: shipping box for keyboard

2005-05-04 by Jason Proctor

best luck i've had with this stuff is to stick a layer of bubblewrap 
around it then measure it. add an inch or two all around for peanuts. 
then find boxes which fit the endcaps  and are deep enough to overlap 
in the middle. in the past i've cannibalised smaller boxes to provide 
more reinforcement around the corners, too. works for me.
