Hello Beofans

I will move soon and I am looking for the complete packaging for the Beolab 1.

This product is no longer available from the Manufacturer.

Do you have a stock?

Thank you in advance for your feedback, it would help me a lot.

I believe they were cardboard boxes, I have never seen them. 

I made two wooden boxes for them when I moved. I still have them.

What area are you in France ?

Hello,
Yes it was cardboard packaging with polystyrene inserts
(Watch the photo).
I am close to Paris.
Have you redone wooden packaging? Do you have pictures of your wooden boxes?

Yes Im usually in France but at the moment Im in Germany stocking up on beer in case there's another lockdown.

I am not back home for another week but Im too far south (30360) to be any help.

Probably the best way to move them is take off their stands and wrap them in a thick blanket then put them flat on a van floor.

Do you have to take them far ?

hi, could it be an option to find some large and strong paper tubes? maybe they would have them at a carpet shop? i would say that if you wrap them well (blankets or bubble warp) and slide them them into a cardboard tube (screw the feet off first) and then secure them from moving with more blanhets, you will have a low risk for damage.

Thank you for your feedback and ideas.
I am doing a general move distance of 400km so the speakers will be in a truck with other equipment.
I had already damaged a Beolab 1 speaker cover during a previous move and I had a hard time finding another speaker cover.
In terms of size and weight, packaging is the most secure
I think there must be someone who must have a Beolab 1 packaging set priced to give it to me or at a fair price!

I think your best option is to rent/borrow a van and take them wrapped in blankets. 

Even if you got the original cardboard boxes they would need to lie flat without stuff on top of them.
