<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KingofThings, post: 91157, member: 468&quot;]Hi KOT,</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; To tell you the truth I hate opening a box and have all that foam pellets fly everywhere. I always packed the foam pellets loosely in plastic bags from the super markets and made sure they did not fly everywhere. I always double boxed also. The box I was sending would fit into a larger box. I used 20oz plastic water bottles to fit in the corners, top and bottom. They weight nothing so the only extra weight was the second box which added not much to the weight. The really valuable pieces I used spray foam insulation. Sprayed the foam half up the box wrapped the item in plastic film laid in the box waited a few minutes until it dried, turned the item over and sprayed the rest. When it dried I took the plastic wrap off and wrapped in white tissue paper and re inserted it. Taped the box closed and off it went.</p><p>~</p><p>I understand about the pellets though this is a basic way to do it, most importantly double boxing with lots of room.</p><p>I&#039;ve done the bagged pellets thing, bubble-pack, &#039;pillow&#039; bags, Styrofoam, whatever I have and appropriate. I LOVE the bottle idea too! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>~</p><p>When I open such a box I keep all the flaps up, remove the item slowly&nbsp; by tipping it, and only a couple will escape. Same with the inner box and with such an item I open it on the couch or bed so if it was to slip and fall... Then I close the boxes up and save it all for re-use. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
