<p><font size="+2">Hi all-</font></p>
<p><font size="+2">Long ago, when double-boxing specimens, <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+2">usually avian eggshells, for shipping, <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+2">I chose an outer box quite a bit larger <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+2">than the inner box. I filled the space <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+2">loosely with squishy soft foam rubber <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+2">chips measuring maybe 3/4" x 3/4" x 3/4". <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+2">I didn't stuff them in tightly, just enough <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+2">to let the inner box to move a little to <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+2">absorb any physical impact the package <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+2">may be subjected to. There are, or at least</font></p>
<p><font size="+2">there were, brick and mortar foam rubber<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+2">stores. They sell thick foam pads for <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+2">mattresses, and soft foam rubber chips for <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+2">pillows. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+2">Best,<br>
</font></p>
