best way to package carbon handlebars for shipping?

[echappist]

Sold and shipped numerous items since i started cycling, but a carbon handlebar will be a first. What is the best way to package it, and what packaging material would you use?

Perhaps PVC pipe insulations all the way around?

Many thanks in advance!

Companies that ship carbon bars to me never do anything special. Crushing the box under a heavy load of other boxes is the greatest danger. Bubble wrap is adequate to protect from abrasion. Mark the box fragile.

Wrap them in bubble wrap.

Tape them to a piece of cardboard longer than the bars.

Score the cardboard to be able to fold over that as a flap so it slides into the box perfectly on a diagonal.

Put your bars in a box.

Make sense?
