SidelineSwap is a great place to buy and sell new or used snowboards. We know that packaging snowboards can be a challenge so we wanted to offer you a few tips to help you ship yours safely and efficiently. We've provided instructions on how to ship a snowboard without and without bindings.
WITH BINDINGS
Materials You'll Need
- Snowboard box
- Bubble wrap, available at FedEx or available at any office supply store or general merchandise store (i.e. Target, Walmart)
- Quality packing tape, available at FedEx or available at any office supply store or general merchandise store (i.e. Target, Walmart)
- Scissors
Package Your Snowboard
1. If you're using a snowboard box, roll the snowboard in the bubble wrap or old sheet/towel like a sleeping bag and tape around both ends of the snowboard to ensure that the padding stays in place. Wrap around the snowboard 1-2x.
If you're using bubble wrap instead of a box, wrap tape one end of the bubble wrap to the inside of the toe strap of the binding. Then wrap the entires binding around multiple times and tape in place.
2. Place snowboard in the box and tape the box.
If you're using bubble wrap instead of a box, wrap around the board a few times, starting at the top of the board.
3. Attach the shipping label to the package and send the snowboard to its new owner!
WITHOUT BINDINGS
Materials You'll Need
- Snowboard box or a DIY "Burrito Box" (made from a medium-sized moving box)
- Bubble wrap, available at FedEx or available at any office supply store or general merchandise store (i.e. Target, Walmart)
- Quality packing tape, available at FedEx or available at any office supply store or general merchandise store (i.e. Target, Walmart)

Package Your Snowboard
1. Take your medium-sized moving box and cut open one side flap so that it lays open.
2. Wrap the snowboard with a layer of bubble wrap and place it in the middle of the open box.
3. Fold the two middle flaps inwards and tape in place. Then fold the top and bottom flaps in before folding the sides of the flaps in (like a burrito).
4. Fold in the sides of the top and bottom flaps and tape them down. Use a lot of tape around to ensure that the packaging does not come undone in-transit.
5. Attach the shipping label to the package and send the snowboard to its new owner!
