A double or triple wall box will work perfect. I've rarely had boxes measured but if you're worried about it just cut the box down by 2cm. Score the inside 2cm down from the top, cut the sides to match and fold the sides down to the new size. You'll probably want to do a little extra because advertised box dimensions are typically the interior measurements.

Boxes travel well by plane, just use lots of tape. Think about the amount of handling and the numerous belts a box you ship UPS, FedEx, Post, etc goes through.

Hope it goes well.
