Here's how the guy who packed mine did it. I never saw inside while he was doing it, but took lots of pictures when it came back. Here goes.....
(1) Opening the outer box you can see there are just a bunch of strips of foam between the outer and the inner box. There was also peanuts in here on the way down (the packer told me). Notice there is only about an inch between the inner and the outer box. You might need use a bigger box for the outer if you are going to ship on one of the major shippers. This box went on Greyhound, and I think they treat things a little nicer.
(2) Opening the inner box, you see more foam strips holding a wine divider thing.
(3) Which was holding down this thing, similar to what you see in a real picture tube crate
(4) That was holding down all this shredded cardboard stuff.
(5) And underneath that was the box I hauled it down to the packer in. It fits pretty tightly around the tube. I guess you could call this a third box. You can see where they just cut the flaps to fit, and taped it in tightly. This whole thing fit nicely in the inner box.
