Custom cardboard boxes
JamJah - 19/2/09 at 08:13 AM

Looking for a cardboard double walled box that is 1100x450x270 or there abouts.

Any recommendations on custom box makers and any idea of price?

What are you boxing up?

Might be cheaper to start with a small pallet and make a wooden frame that you can 'clad' with cardboard.

A1 printer.
On ebay if anyone is interested. 6 colour.

It originally came in a box hense thinking of sending in a box. Did originally look at palleting it was £25 for a pallet with containor and £40 delivery.

Delivery I can do for £30 insured so if a box is less than £35 im happy.

But they were local to me.

(Just realised you only want 1!, probably no good to you)

Do you have a Motorbike dealer anywere local to you?

Most bikes come in bolted in a galv steel frame, but wrapped in a cardboard box. They are always in perfect condition, and could be turned inside out by you to look like plain card if you wanted...

Find a local bicycle shop and ask them for a couple of boxes, and then buy some packing tape and make up your own box.

You have got to be kidding, we give them away for free (whites not blues) So if you were thinking about palleting, go and ask a big company if you can have a white, i'm sure they will say yes.
