Ideas For Cake Boards And Transporting

I am new to this site and in fact new to cake decorating but I have some inexpensive ideas for boards and transporting (it probably has already been suggested).
The short cardboard case that holds 24 cans of soda (or even canned food)is ideal for the following:
1) 9 x 13 cake board (ideal size)-just cut the sides off, glue two together and cover with tin foil, inexpensive plastic table cloth (like this because you can color coordinate), plastic wrap etc.
2) 9 x 21 cake board- just cut the two long sides off and lay the short ends flat. Glue two boards together and cover with the same as above.
3) 17 x 21 cake board-lay all sides flat. Glue two together and cover with the same as above.
4) Cup cake carrier (ideal as the standard size cupcakes are about the same size around as a soda can)-leave intact and cover with the same as above. Make separators by using thin cardboard strips, both long and short. Cut slits in the short strips and connect them to the long strips to form a grid pattern.
5) Cake decorations & assembly pieces carrier-leave intact cover as above, lay parchment or wax paper in the bottom and arrange decorations. These cardboard cases can be stacked one on top of the other and placed in a plastic box for easy handling.
6) Another idea for a cup cake carrier is using the cardboard box that round christmas ornaments come in (it is already separated and has enough of an indention to keep the cupcakes in place. Since it comes in different sizes, it is ideal for the mini, standard and large size cupcakes.
Thank you. I bought a 24 pack of soda and notice that it was a little bit bigger than my 9 x 13 cake pan and would make a perfect cake board (no measuring or cutting except to take the sides off). Then I noticed the indentions made by the cans on the bottom and they were about the size of a standard cupcake and the sides are about as high as the paper cup cake holder.
