Do it Yourself Method
|
|
The Classic: Double Box
|
| |
|
- Put the records in the first box 14 x 14 x 4" size will do.
- Use filler to make sure that the records will stay stacked and will not shift in transit.
- Close and tape the first box.
- Put this box in a second larger box. 18 x 18 size will do.
- Use filler on all sides in such a way that the inner box does not directly touch the outer box.
- This method will protect your recordings from shocks and punctures.
- Write on all sides of the package : FRAGILE Musical Recordings DO NOT DROP
- Enclose an itemized list of the recordings.

- Most Office supply stores have stock of various size boxes, bubble wrap
- A good packing material is to do up a batch of popcorn to use as filler. It's inexpensive and environment friendly.
