Any cardboard box that is flat and long can be bent in the centre.
Excellent advice! I can tell you as a 24 year UPS employee that most damages are caused by substandard packaging.

Another tip....Before sealing your package/crate, make a copy of the shipping label and place it inside the package. Labels get torn off the packages and we're left waiting for a claim to match the contents.
