I once received a 50 lb. transformer from Peter Dahl wrapped in many layers of small-size bubble wrap. The whole thing was placed in a large cardboard box about 3 times the size of the transformer.
The transformer arrived undamaged.
I'm not recommending this method, just saying.

I'm selling a HV Transformer  and have questions on the best way to pack. The transformer weighs 85LBs and is approximately a 12 inch cube . At this time I have it bolted to a 5/8 inch plywood pallet.

I know Alpha and Acom ship their transformers in a heavy duty cardboard box . I'm not sure where to find a heave duty box ?  I could use 3/8 or 7/16 plywood plus wood screws to build a nice strong box  but I'm thinking UPS or Fedex wants it to be in a cardboard box ?

Your thoughts and ideas are appreciated
