I received pinball parts with seriously crappy packing jobs. Recently I sent out some parts, and received a rare NoS playfield. Both were done with what I think are proper, safe packing jobs. Curious about how others pack their stuff for a safe trip, and any other info to help reduce the cost and risks of shipping our treasured pinball stuff...

Needed to send out all these Creature ramps...

So I tape them to insulation board

Wrapped that in bubble wrap

And slipped the boards into an adjustable "mirror/art" box from Home depot

With the finished product packed up and good to go...

I also just received this rare NoS Paragon playfield and was thrilled to see the seller put some effort into packing it properly.

Copious layers of insulation board

A final layer of decorative paper wrapping (nice touch) which prevented any abrasions from the insulation board
