I like to use extruded polystyrene insulation panels.  Here it's 
available from most home improvement stores in 8' x 2' or 4' sizes and 
up to 2" thick.  Basically score-and-snap and very tough stuff--not 
given to making "crumbs" either.  I build a "box within a box" for heavy 
items and firmly brace whatever I'm sending so that neither it, nor any 
component parts can move in transit.  Double-walled corrugated 
cardboard, as mentioned reinforced, if necessary by 1/4" plywood.

I suspect that polyiso insulation board would work as well, but I've 
never tried it.
