This problem is one of my biggest being a small  parts supplier. I try and keep a varied number of different size boxes, but  regularly find I have to use two to make one. My wife says if I charged for my  time in packaging it would probably work out on average 1hours labour per  box.

I have a lot of different boxes. Â Just none that are flat, 24 inches by 14 inches. Â

Try looking at the home improvement centers. The box could be easiiy made from cardboard from washers dryers refrigerators etc.

Why not just sandwich the overlay between two sheets of heavy cardboard 

and tape the 4 edges???  Am I missing something???  For good cardboard 

go to an appliance store and ask for some refrigerator boxes.

I believe that do-it-yourself moving stores like U-Haul sell picture-frame boxes that might work for you.  Home Depot/Lowe’s/Menards might have them, too.

Gary,

  

 Wicks ships flat sheet with cardboard but they  staple wood all the way around the edge of the cardboard. The wood is about 1/4"  thick and 2" wide.

  

 Don's idea sounds the best tho...

Fred shipped mine sandwiched between two pieces of hardboard held together with tywraps though some of the instrument holes. It could then be wrapped with cardboard.
