And it "crushes". This means that with no rebound, the equip will be 
left (after foam crushes) with room to rattle around.

The stuff I'm talking about (been identified, I think, as 
polyethylene foam) is resilient such that when the crate is dropped 
(!) the foam will absorb the shock and rebound to (hopefully) its 
full size again.

Probably will use 2x or 3x thick cardboard box, per your 
recommendations, folks.

Thanks,
Dave
