Is it possible to purchase shipping packaging for the Form 3B+? I would like to list for sale and anticipate having to ship and want to do so properly.

Unfortunately, I did not keep the original packaging.

Thanks

Hi @additiveedge47,

It’s actually simpler than I thought. We do have a SKU for it, so it’s definitely possible. The easiest way would be to send an email to [sales@formlabs.com](mailto:sales@formlabs.com), and they will know how to process it.

Let me know if that works for you.

Wishing you a great day!

Best regards,

Shiden

Formlabs doesn’t sell replacement packaging, you can DIY it with a double-wall box, foam inserts, and anti-static wrapping.

You could try reaching out to Formlabs support to see if they offer replacement packaging, but if not, you might need to create a secure alternative yourself. The original Formlabs packaging is designed to protect the printer with custom foam inserts, so if you don’t have that, I’d recommend using a sturdy double-walled box with ample cushioning (foam, bubble wrap, or custom-cut inserts) to prevent movement during shipping.

If you’re looking for custom packaging solutions, there are companies that specialize in protective shipping boxes for fragile or high-value equipment. Custom foam inserts can be a great investment to keep everything secure. Have you checked with any [local packaging suppliers](https://citipackaging.com/styles/custom-shipping-boxes/) or looked into custom-cut foam options?
