I posted late last week with my method of packing 137 2x4s with breathing room
for lots of small parts. Based on reading the packing methods of others, I
think you can actually fit 4 2x4s into the raised stud on the lid instead of the
three that I usually do, so you can probably get 138 in there and still snap the
lid. (Instead of stacking 3 2x4's and lying them sideways, put 2 2x4's on top
of 2 more and put them studs-up in the lid.) Here's my earlier post, FWIW, part
of another thread with lots of great packing tips:

This method isn't too complicated to remember, and I've found that if I stay
focused and don't chat with the store employees I can pack a cup by this method
in about 10 or 15 minutes.

I watched Chris Phillips pack one cup then took the idea home and used some trial and error to improve my piece counts. I just (...)
