[ICOM] Shipping rigs

[Mike Olbrisch]

I use double-boxes and sheets of heavy cardboard with peanuts.

First I put a layer of peanuts on the bottom of the bigger box.  Then I put down
a sheet of cardboard cut to fit the box.  Next I put the factory box in the
middle.  I put a sheet of cardboard cut to fit on each end of the factory box.
This forms 4 compartments of the bigger box with the factory box in the middle.
I fill those 4 compartments with peanuts level with the top of the factory box.
Last - I lay in a final sheet of cardboard cut to fit the size of the bigger box
over all of that, and pour in more peanuts.

This makes 6 compartments of peanuts that provide cushion but do not migrate.
Never had a problem.
