I'm new to trading and want to know the best size boxes to get for my trades. One is 2 bombers and 3 12oz cans, the second is 8 12oz cans. What would be the best box size for each with room for bubble wrap? Thanks!
Hard to say. If the bottles are easily replaced, then I just go with a box that has 2 inches of clearance around everything, and pack in layers double wrapped with bubble wrap. I am a lot less worried about cans too, so I pack them pretty tight with only a single layer of bubble wrap. 2 bombers and 3 cans seems like a flater 10x14 x8 inch high box would work, but I don't know where to buy those - I usually just save Amazon boxes as they tend to be the perfect size for a few bombers and bottles. If you can't replace anything - I would go box in a box method and put a smaller box inside a bigger box with peanuts or foam (I use cheap wall insulation polystyrene) so that the box is basically bomb proof. I tend to over-pack big time, since I would rather pay a few bucks extra in materials and shipping than have a breakage.
