<P>Good padding avoids problems in shipping. Most cardboard boxes need 1 to 2
inches of padding:<UL TYPE="BULLET">
<LI>Styro peanuts</LI>
<LI>Padding foam</LI>
<LI>Crumpled newspaper</LI>
<LI>Bubble plastic</LI>
</UL></P>
<P>You can usually get all the styro peanuts and bubble plastic you want free
from your workplace -- just ask someone in Receiving.</P>
<P>If your box is exceptionally sturdy, you won't need as much padding. If
your box is old, tired, and seeing its last days, use a bit extra --
especially near the top corners, where other boxes are likely to smoosh it.</P>
