We should try and keep the weight of the box (including content) below 31,5kg.
Shipment would be €14 within Germany and €40 within EU using DHL, which
is the least expensive company I could find. Above 31,5kg its getting really
expensive. Remember, the 70kg-box, we have right now costs around €90
within Germany.
So I'm trying to come up with a flight case that has a max weight of 14kg, so
17kg are left for the content.

But there is no use in saving shipping costs, if the technical equipment
arrives at a booth broken and cannot be repaired there.
