Two examples of packing for Art handlers and two of packing for common carriers (Fedex, or UPS).

One is cheaper to pack for. The other cheaper to ship. You choose your battles. It is kinda fun making boxes again though. Peanuts get everywhere, but they might be the cheapest insurance policy for double boxing.

One must be handled with care and the other is designed to be throwable :)
