My oscilloscope had a massive dent in the top where it had been thrown about after being badly packed by a staff member before a department move. Luckily it did not project into the tube or circuitry but it was close. My take is that if something can move at all it will move several times that distance. Beware of inertia of (especially the heavier) objects. Overpacking is a good idea. I have sometimes even packed a box then even encased that inside a larger box with bubble wrap packing. Yes, I agree with Trevor.
