Source For Styrofoam Packing Inserts

@rfnoise That sucks! I hate thieves. PSB will sell you the boxes for around $76 a pair delivered to your door. I imagine other manufacturers will do the same too. I was really hoping for the OEM molds because they would solidly hold the speakers away from the cardboard sides a few inches. I'm probably going to get 2" or 3" blanks and mill them down with a drill press and band saw. I'm just getting lazy and hoping to buy a quick solution instead of putting any effort into it but them's the breaks. Good luck with your search

I’ve got the opposite problem; some scumbag broke into my storage unit and cut open all of my boxes from the side with a utility knife. Inserts are fine but the boxes are trash now.

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.

I’ve shipped heavy speakers around the world. No issues, thank goodness. 
I buy 2” styrofoam foam from H Depot and cut to fit. 
 Ain’t Nothing Like The Real Thing- but it works in many situations. 
Good luck. 

Another "custom-made" option might be the styrofoam "popcorn" packing used to protect fragile items during shipment.  It is extremely flexible as far as fitting into every nook and cranny, and is surprisingly strong once packed in tightly.  I have a bunch of it I'd love to recycle, but unfortunately, I'm up in Canada.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions.

@facten I forgot all about Uline.

@ghdprentice I know exactly what expanding bags you are talking about too.

@tcotruvo Oddly enough, PSB could only provide the new boxes. They did not have any foam inserts to sell me. That still has me me scratching my head.

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.

There are a number of brands of expanding foam bags that will… well, create foam and conform around whatever you are packing. You would want large ones. Amazon has a number of them. I would search google to find the right size.

Google -  No experience with these folks but maybe call Uline and ask them if they have what you need. There are other companies
