what I've done for some of the larger things I've made for friends/clients seems to work well enough-
all you have to do is put down a layer of packing peanuts or newspaper so that when the model sits on top, it's pretty much centered in the box. Then slowly spread peanuts/paper gently around it, making sure it fills in all the gaps.
a gigantic fragile sticker is always fun, but not required.. I've made my own since the little thing the post office provided didn't cut it. Papercrafts are surprisingly sturdy on their own, and the simple fact that the peanuts are preventing it from bouncing around the box and denting itself up from the impacts is enough to near guarantee it'll survive the mail.
The only risk here is being crushed by a MUCH larger package or the idiot neighbor kid using the box as a trampoline before the recipient gets home to take it in.
