Certain boxes are needed to make sure it isn't crushed, etc. We ship a bunch of stuff where I work, and we have 3-6 truck freight only boxes designed just for shipping stuff like hoods, quarter panels and the like. We usually staple the box, then use tape over it for a double seal, then paper for packing material (although peanuts can work too, but you'll likely need a BUNCH to fill it)!

If you come up empty, we've got tons of them at NPD (for a small price)
