I'm sure I don't know the "best" way. But I'm pretty sure that they probably cuss me like a skunk in the garden when they try to undo my packaging.
Raw I place inside one of the flips they provide, then wrap them individually in bubblewrap, then a piece of tape.
Proofs I left in the capsule and place it inside one of the flips they provide, then wrap them individually in bubblewrap, then a piece of tape.
Haven't done any crosses or upgrades or anything like that.
Then I wrap the whole thing in bubble wrap and tape it all up.
Next I took a box just larger than my package and put it in the box and stuffed bubblewrap all around it and sealed the box.
Then I take the boxes (one for each submission) and put them inside a bigger box and cram it full of bubble wrap.
Tape the sucker up with loads of fiber-reinforced boxing tape and then its ready.
The first one I did like this I was really proud of my work, that is until I realized that I'd forgot to put the submission form in the box
Hmmm... maybe thats why my grades are so low

Crossovers - place in bubble mailer then into a box with flow-pack
Raw uncs - flips into safety mailers into bubble mailer into a box with flow-pack
Raw proofs - poly-bag, into flip into safety mailers into bubble mailer into a box with flow-pack.

I NEVER put any proof coins in the poly-bags they provide, it seems to potentially cause haze.
