noncompressible isn't all that great. You need some compression to
absorb the shock.
Actually, you want noncompressible foam so that it doesn't get compressed,
making empty space into which your equipment can fall. The main reason
why newspaper is a bad packing material. You want something that will
absorb shock *without* compressing.

I once had shipped by UPS a 27" Trinitron
monitor. It was heavy. It was
double boxed, with 8" of noncompressible spray-foam between the two boxes,
and another 3" of rigid foam between the inner box and the monitor itself.
The monitor was shattered. They must have dropped it from several feet up
in the air.
