<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>
