Where Can I Find Shipping Containers for Round Displays?
For irregularly shaped objects and displays, it can often be difficult to find a shipping container that fits. Boxes are most frequently made in square or rectangular shapes, so a round display will need to be placed in an oversized square or rectangular box.

How to Determine the Right Sized Box
-
To determine the size of box needed for your round display, take the diameter of the display, and purchase a square box that is at least as big as the diameter. For example, a round display with a diameter of 14 inches will require a square box that is at least 14-by-14. Make sure the box is also of a sufficient height. Fill the excess space in the box with packing peanuts or other stabilization to protect the display.
Where to Purchase Boxes
-
Cardboard shipping boxes can be purchased at any postal store, the U.S. Post Office and at most self-storage facilities or moving companies.

Specialty Round Containers

Specialty round shipping containers are also an option but can be harder to find and more expensive to purchase. Round plastic containers of all shapes and sizes can be purchased at the Container Store or online through websites like Amazon.com.
