Here's one I built earlier this year. It has withstood one adventure, boy do I get nervous. I shipped two framed 12x15 paintings in it. I wrap the paintings several times with sheeted bubble wrap and then filled the voids with more packing material.
The edges are made of 2x6 studs and the sides are 1/2 plywood. With the exception of the lid, which is attached with countersunk screws, it is all nailed. The handle, which I got at the hardware store for a couple of bucks, is a real benefit for hauling through an airport or in and out of the car.
