Another option are those insulation sheets that have foil backing. You can get large sheets and cut to the size you need. I've shipped some oversize, expensive prints that way and it works well. Like this https://www.lowes.com/pd/Johns-Manville ... on/3851113 It works great for shipping because the thickness gives you serious protection from mishaps. A thin sheet of wood like this https://www.lowes.com/pd/47-75-in-x-7-9 ... el/3014304 or 1/4" birch is used to sandwich the insulation between for shipping.

I bought some 4mm super large mylar bags that the print goes into since I doubt that stuff is acid free.
I'm not someone else.

was about to recommend the same thing. the go boards are really light and solid as drymount.
