Place to pack bike for flying in Porto

I plan to continue cycling from Santiago down to Porto before flying back to UK. Is there a place in Porto that will pack a bike for me? There are packing places in Santiago, I was wondering if they existed elsewhere.
Thanks in advance

There is a hardware store in downtown Porto that has tape and heavy duty plastic on a big roll. They were very helpful and cut the length I needed to make a big plastic bag for my bike for its flight home.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
If all else fails, try Decathlon as they have bike bags - and tools to disassemble.

You can find your local one here


And this is what you want - SACO DE TRANSPORTE 1 BICICLETA BTWIN

 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Most cycle shops will give you a cardboard cycle box - and usually are helpful with tools if you need them.
