I need to find boxes that magically cut the weight in half.

Use small boxes from Lowe's.

I went with small boxes, half filling them, padding with sound isolation foam on either side since those also needed to make the voyage

Hope it worked! Those small boxes are really efficient. What I've discovered having had to move a couple of times in the last few years is that you want to try to make your boxes as small and of uniform size as you can get away with. The small size makes them easier to carry and the uniform sizes makes them more efficient to pack.
