over the yrs developed this way of shipping monitors
buy home depot heavy duty extra large 2x thick box
find base wood material for bottom, can be old ply wood scrap, presswood, old back door scrap, ect
cut to fit inside bottom of box
put monitor on wood, position so neck has max distance from box side, and tube will still have maybe at least 1/2 inch from cardboard side or more, room for a bit of bubble wrap in front of tube at end of pack job, mark spots on mount areas with pen, then drill holes to mount monitor on wood with carriage bolts nuts
insert assy. with bolts tight into bottom of box, find and cut foam blocks to slide into side edge (this will make the whole assy. immobile unable to move anywhere after the box size is adj. and carboard folded to close) in the example shown, they do not span the whole distance of box because they are locked in place by the monitor mount edge is imbedded in them one inch, so they cant move, but if you can find the right size to span the whole distance of box, thats better
cut foam blocks to be maybe 1/2 inch to 1 inch above metal edge of monitor
now cut to reduce size of box so new fold lines are just at top of foam mentioned above
make light surface cuts in cardboard to reflect new fold lines for reduced box size
fold and generously tape
with this way of packing, it can withstand being rolled on all 6 sides and be ok, it can be dropped from maybe 1 or 2 ft and be ok,
