Build a wooden crate or use a cardboard box for Amplifier.

We are moving and I have two amplifiers that do not have boxes. My concern of course would be damaging the amps during the move. I am probably going to be storing them for a couple of months. The amplifiers are Krell KSA 200s and a KSA 300s. Does anyone have experience in building a crate that they good lend some guidance ?
I have a full wood shop and are pretty capable.
Or would I be better off with cardboard boxes reinforced.
Any Help is gladly appreciated. 
Thank You.

Anything over 125 pounds you will want to go to wooden crate. Yet, Resolution Audio has been using wooden crates for their new Cantata and M100 amps for years. CJ switched to wooden crates for the ART27A amp. We at Penaudio just shifted to wooden crates for the new monitors. Look for local box company. They can make crates and supply foam. You will want 3" of foam to keep the amps safe. If they are going in a moving van, then tell them where and how you want them stacked.

lots of options here with most of them you doing the work. talk to the movers and give them your expectations / specs and see what they can do.....palletized , double wall construction with added padding for insurance should be no problem.....issue is the cost
