Just wanted to share some ideas that have worked for me lately.
Packing foam: Every thrift store on the planet has old foam mattress pads you can buy for $1. They make great packing materials.
Old hard-sided luggage is perfect for an inner box if you can find one the right size. Usually you can buy one for $2-$5, cheaper than a new cardboard box!
Reinforce cardboard boxes by adding additional corner supports. Use glue instead of tape to build a custom box.
