Source of Corrugated Boxes

There are some sizes that are very close

Grainger sells them. Not sure of the minimum quantity required.

U-Line probably has the most comprehensive variety of boxes available. The go-to source.

Tony H and Matt,

Uline has a 100 unit minimum and I don't know what Grainger is and Google shows equipment not boxes.

I need 6 or 8, maybe 10 boxes.

Thanks,

Ed

U Line is a great company to deal with. I get all my shipping boxes from them. They ship the same day you call them. Every couple of months I get a new catalog from them. I do Ebay, that is the reason I buy from them.

Look at baseball card boxes. one size might work for you. They all carry the same sizes. shop around for price.

That's is the one problem with Uline despite being the go to source

and I don't know what Grainger is

Grainger sells boxes - mailers like Uline - there's a search function on their home page and a navigation bar to the left after you type in boxes and you find

Mailing Carton, White, Inside Width 4", Inside Length 16", Inside Depth 4", 50 PK --> $80.25

 

I need 6 or 8, maybe 10 boxes.

I know the feeling - I needed 10-15  4" x 4" x 16" boxes, not 50.  BTW, there are sellers of lots of 50 of the Uline style mailers, but then 50 is still a lot.  I tried to get a group pf guys together on a buy of 50 and no one bought in.  Marv at the Strasburg meet used to sell them but he has not shown up there for some time now

PRR MAN, checked your profile but no email address.  Was just wondering, given that you were an architect shouldn't your tag line be "I am Howard Roark"?

Ed,

I have some from U-Line that I can bring to Strasburg next month.

I use BCW Trading Card Boxes.  You can buy one or many, and you can mix-n-match.

Check Staples.

A quick check on google using the zip code in your profile shows any number of cardboard box suppliers within a 30 minute radius.  I'd start local before ordering online, unless you can find a place with the sizes and quantities you need, in the right time frame.  I've had good luck with local suppliers more than once.

If your are really cheap, you can re-cut larger boxes down to that size.

Use one unfolded box as a template guide.

Trader Joes and most food stores have free boxes for the taking.

USPS will give you all the Cardboard Priority Mailing boxes you want, in all different sizes, for Free and ship them to you for free.

Search BCW Boxes Amazon

Just got back from Staples---No luck.

BCW boxes are not as wide as I would like. 

Thanks to all who tried to help.
