vaughn Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Anything from foam board,styrofoam,cardboard,styrene and wood. Just depends what you are makinand whats on hand. Light weight is one of the keys. I am sure you will get other opinions. Packing styrofoam for computers and phones etc, has all the cubbie holes and cutouts that can be useful. Good Luck and welcome.
