Hi: Get a clean (new) pizza box in the size you need. I usually put use some sort of padding on the record itself--some small-bubble wrap or tissue and/or firm cardboard just for insurance. These work fine; I've sent quite a few this way and haven't lost one in the shipping. There are other ways, too, which experts here will be glad to share with you.
If this is a one-shot thing, go to the nearest pizza place and ask for one; if they charge you, it shouldn't be much more than 50 cents. If you have lots of records to ship, there are restaurant supply shops where you can get them in bulk. I go to Smart and Final, here on the west coast--best prices I've seen so far.

Yep, pizza box. Large.
When I sell laserdiscs(same size as lps), I first wrap it in tissue paper, then sandwich it between cardboard squares a mite bigger than the the cover. Tape securely. Then I wrap it in bubble wrap beforeplacing it in the inside-out pizza box. Tape that securely. Voila!
Never havelost a laserdisc yet.
