How do pack a pair of large speakers


You disposed of the packaging material for your large speakers, and now you want to ship them safely. How would you go about this? Are there professional packaging companies that can do this kind of job without costing too much? Are there companies that do full-service packaging and LTL freight?

You buy new packaging from the speaker manufacturer.

This should 100% be your go-to if the company is still available for it. Barring that, TMR does their own custom injected Styrofoam, molded to the shape of the speaker/component on one side, the intended box on the other, and covered in plastic - that stuff works pretty well, but I’m not sure of its upper limit for size & weight of really big speakers.

Closed-cell foam snugly molded to the speaker ends (optionally with an extra middle piece for tall speakers) is what many manufacturers choose for a reason. Needs to be at least a few inches thick.

This should go without saying, but bubble wrap and packing peanuts and the like are useless here.

Outer box should be double / triple wall cardboard at a minimum and with corner reinforcements for larger suff.
