[Premium-Rx] OT - Shipping Receivers

[Bill Turini]

Sort of a related topic. I need to ship a few receivers overseas and I'm 
looking for a packaging solution. I know all about double-boxing, etc. 
but I'm looking for information on a specific container.

In the past I have received several receivers that were packed in very 
heavy, foam-padded boxes. Most of these were direct from gov't 
facilities. Someone once told me what they were called, but I've long 
forgotten. Inquiries at local packaging firms has led nowhere.

Does anyone know what the nomenclature is for these packing containers 
and where I might procure some? I have to ship overseas, and I thought 
they would be just the ticket for packaging.

I'm also interested in other solutions for securely packaging for 
overseas shipment.

Thanks,

Bill
