Source For Styrofoam Packing Inserts


Hi Folks-

I'm looking for replacement styrofoam speaker packing for my PSB speakers (originals were tossed out due to roof leak). Tried the manufacturer but all they could send me was the boxes. Anyone have any suggestions on where to find OEM packing before I go to the trouble of making my own?

Thanks

Probably a long shot but you could try contacting PSB dealers or the national distributor. Normally the packing is necessary until delivery, then most owners want to keep them.

On contacting PSB dealers/distributor, I was thinking that they may have around some used inserts for a set of speakers that they sold. But it’s a long shot.

i strongly recommend against “popcorn”.  It is soft and with jostling in transit - think sitting in a bouncy truck for x hundred miles - it can compress and redistribute. At the end of the trip there may be little left between the speakers and the box at the critical bottom.

2” foam is probably the best solution.  You may also be able to get free packing materials from a local appliance dealer, but you need to be thoughtful in how you use them.
