I Use this for the primary box:

With a box resizer I then cut down a larger double wall construction  box and 
resize to an exact fit and glue the flaps with a hot glue gun  for strength. 
The secondary box is lined with 2 inches of foam rubber and also  sized for an 
exact fit. I recently shipped the above example to Colorado from  Charlotte, 
NC using FedEx ground and while it took the buyer a couple of hours  to unpack 
it the set survived the 5 day trip in fine shape. I use this  method with all 
high end shipments and no bubble wrap is used; I think it would  survive 
falling out of the back of a truck. It helps to have a gummed shipping  tape 
machine, hot glue gun, rolls of plastic wrap, and a box resizer.
 
Regards, Greg
