    If you have a bicycle shop in your town check in with them. They throw away boxes that work perfectly for shipping pfs.

    Fedex has them, but they charge $20-$30 if I recall.

    A large HDTV box sometimes works.

    Ummm.....go down to the lumber yard and pick up some plywood and 2x2's and wood screws....its the only way to go.

    Second the recommendation by John - 2x2s, a sheet of 1/4" luan plywood on each side screwed to the 2x2s, and some thick cardboard or thin foam as cushioning make a great playfield shipping crate. Make it large enough to hold a wide body playfield and you can use strips of 1" foam to reduce the width as necessary.
