I guess the first thing to make is a proper brief of the packaging specifications and requirements. These includes weight and size of the package.

I had some experience with the packaging of a 3D printer kit. Some of the design of this packaging also applies to our context, specially for electronics, and components. They are the most vulnerable components.

Question?

What about the plasma cutter, do we include it in the package or separatedly?

I am leaning towards a separate plasma cutter. different grid voltage/frequency accross the globe is hard to follow. I believe each customer has to buy its own plasma, while we can always suggest the models that we know that work in out countries.
