Packaging Suppliers

[Muncher]

Who do you guys use for your packaging?

I need corrugated cardboard, the more heavy duty the better for packaging up hardtops.

I also need bubble wrap, but the quite heavy duty thick plastic backed stuff. At the moment I'm buying from Staples at silly prices.

I only need small quantities, rolls of 1m x 25m, who do you suggest?

I think we use viking direct for office supplies at work, gotta be cheaper than buying it retail?

Alternatively, do staples have a "trade account" option you could use?

I bought jiffy bags at a very reasonable price, their range of packaging supplies is a bit of an eye opener. They are happy to do mail order to new customers with a credit card. What are the hard tops for? DO you have a website we can look at?

Thanks

The hardtops are for VX220s, S1 Elise, S2 Elise Short-tail, S2 Elise Long-tail. No website just yet I'm afraid.

I've always been told the cheapest place to buy packaging is on ebay.

I buy in large quantities from manufacturers/converters of corrugated, but they are custom made boxes in hundreds/thousands at a time. I imagine that you may struggle to find a stock box the size you want, but would suggest giving one of these a try that i sometimes use for stock cartons/packaging:

Cheers, I don't really need a box, just rolls of corrugated card to wrap them in.

Oh, they probably do that too, think they do most packaging supplies.

or try these people that I have bought corrugated sheets from, but definitely supply rolls too:
