Looking for good small cardboard boxes...

[Mike Deblis]

Hi,

I'm looking for a good supplier of reasonably priced good cardboard boxes for storage - sizes to range from small (A5 x about 5 inches), to A4 etc.

Ideas welcome (most suppliers I've looked at are rubbish).

Thanks

Mike

Viking Direct are usually ok from what i`ve heard elsewhere (mainly for padded envelopes for DVDs) - they`re also considerably cheaper than the supplier used where I work, even taking into account the discount they receive off catalogue price.

Off-licences. Whisky boxes are very strongly built and often have a sort of wipe clean printed finish, which makes them a bit less vulnerable to going damp and soggy.

I use All Purpose Packaging - 01438 777000 and McFarlaine - 020 8 805 3333

They do have minimum order quantities though

The 'wipe-clean printed finish' is a varnish applied after all the colours. (Trust me, I was in packaging!)

You could try the "bag-and-box-man" in Banbury though it's mainly for small quantities so no doubt the bigger firms will be cheaper. However the prices are quite reasonable.
