Not exactly on topic, but, if you want to ship a piece of gear, certain UPS centers have a machine that makes self expanding styrofoam-like plastic bags. These are then placed into the box (or outer box) where they will swell and conform, wrappping and protecting your unit. These bags end up as a solid hard styrofoam shell. I'm sure other shippers must have this machine, too. Perhaps someone knows the name of this device. Happy Tunes!
Best Packaging in the Business
Hi, guys,
in the audio business, secure packaging before shipping is VERY important. A sloppy package can result in an audiophile's worst nightmare: maimed/missing equipment. This is especially devastating because of the wet dream an audiophile would have waiting for the arrival of his or her newly purchased component.
In the light of this realization, I believe that a recognition is in order for audio equipment manufacturers who provide superb packaging of their products. While all superb packaging would be durable and protective, there might be other details in packaging that impress audiophiles.
Who do you think provides the most superb packaging?
