A mirror coating company in the US (CLAUSING) recommends cutting a
cardboard disk just larger than the mirror and taping it over the mirror
face.  It will not touch any of the surface of the mirror and it will keep
anything else from touching it in shipment.  Next wrap the mirror in a
large towel at put it in at box just big enough for the wrapped mirror. 
Next put this inside a larger box stuffed with bubble wrap or similar. I
have done this twice and had no problems.  They use the same boxes and
towel to return it to you.  But then they put soft clean cotton batting
between the mirror surface and the cardboard disk.

What do you all think is a good design for a box to ship an 8 inch diameter
mirror in? Is Texerau's box with wedges to contact the face edge a good
design? Anybody got a simpler alternative?
