I rarely do return to the same airport on my tours so I have always used disposable packing ..
as a Touring destination , the LBS, here, has some pretty fancy specialty boxes that were abandoned.. in the basement..
You can do a Open Jaw Itinerary and ship your empty box between arrival and departure towns.
to come back I turned 2 short boxes with a bunch of packing tape, into a long enough one ..
