[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Searching for shipping containers for PCs.

mguyott@solbourne.samsung.com (Marc Guyott) (08/21/90)

We have several PCs that we are going to be shipping around the country from
one trade show to another.  I am looking for some type of reusable shipping
containers that I can use to protect the hardware we will be shipping.  I know
that something along the lines of what I am looking for exists because they
had some type of padded cases at my last job that they used for shipping PCs
to shows.

I need to be able to package and ship a tower style PC, keyboard, mouse, and
either a 14" NEC 3D or a 16" NEC 4D monitor.

I would appreciate any information about where I might purchase these types of
shipping containers or any ideas as to how I might go about making "homemade"
versions.                                          Thanks, Marc

What you need is cases made by Anvil. These are sometimes called
"rock-n-roll" cases. They
are used (with different internal packaging) by Rock bands to protect
equipment and instruments during travel.

Anvil make a whole line for PCs. The boxes are VERY rugged, and are
available with casters (recommended).

I don't have their address, but you may be able to get it from a local
music store.
