Postal packaging for photo slates

[billy8581]

Anyone have a good provider of protective packaging for photo slates specifically? They are very brittle, and if anyone has anything they use already and is willing to pass on the info, it would be much appreciated, thanks.

Tiny Box Company sell rigid photo and presentation boxes which should do it.

As above, we use these from Tiny

They are a deeper box than above, with generous foam liner block - we put the two feet under the foam, and the slate in a BB3 size bubble wrap bag on top of the foam, and then the whole box goes in a BB4, and then in a plastic mailer bag.

We also test the slates before shipping - some have natural fault lines in them, which can easily be a weak point, so we give them a gentle bash - if they snap then they would have done in the post too.
