Harvey,

Get along to your nearest LBS that sells high-end wheels - almost all "wheelsets" (Campag Nucleon etc.) come packed in stout carboard boxes obviously already the right size for two wheels. You'll also find many LBS's will have plenty of those plastic plugs lying about that push over the QR axle in place of the skewer (get the "sombrero" shaped ones). These are to protect not only the threads of the axle, but to prevent the box from being punctured. In addition I've packaged them in bubblewrap and had no problems so far.
