Blank boxes? Where to buy?

[IntegrityShirts]

Uline? What about shipping costs to get them to me? What's the most common size you guys get? I'm open to two sizes, but prefer just one size. I don't do a lot of shipping, this is just for pick up orders usually between 25-100 pieces. Thanks!

Uline is definitely the big player, but I'd check around locally before ordering from them.  You can likely get close to the price and save on the shipping cost.

I get them here.
Local, I pick them up.

believe it or not ....look at Home Depot....

my new neighbor is a HUGE moving company, he showed me HD prices vs Uline, I was pleasantly surprised....

Sometimes www.Amazon.com has boxes at decent prices.....Especially if you need to have them shipped....But this seems to be hit and miss...

As far as Home Depot I would prefer blank versus boxes printed with their logo all over....

agreed. If you can find a local place and pick them up you save a ton of money on shipping.

Uline, Ebay, Amazon if you can't find a local place.

Our local place ships free, next day. Way cheaper than Uline.
We buy a pallet and print them if and when we have the time.
One of my more favorite things to do around here actually, breaks the monotony
of fabrics all day long...

If you foam your pallets for zips/seams, your box supplier probably carries the foam as well.

Nice, home depot does have decent prices. Free ship to store on 20x14x16 in bundles of 20 = 33.60 or $1.68 per box. Not bad! Going to try one other local place and see how they compare.

let us know how you make out, we're always looking for the best value in blank boxes...

I was thinking of custom tape too but man, THAT is expensive...

[3Deep]

Funny you say custom tape Homer my wife had ask about doing custom tape instead of custom boxes, I think the tape is a waste because it get's tossed away and boxes get used for other thing's and still show your company logo... how many of you print your own boxes?

yeah your right D, BUT the presentation is nice...we print our own boxes about every other month. The last batch we printed, we took the bodek boxes and some box paint, the cover up stuff, and we recycled those. took more time than I planned on but they turned out pretty sharp.

we have printed boxes.  We are delivering a $10k order today and everything is in our boxes.  It's a great presentation and when the boxes are in the storage closet it's obvious where they came from and drives home loyalty.

Print our own, we do a lot of work with university student clubs and tech companies where the person
in charge of ordering seems to rotate on a yearly basis, so when the new guy gets told to order more shirts
because the box is empty he knows where to order from.

The company we buy boxes from outsources the printing of them and the minimums and setups are huge.
$700 a color and something like 7 million board feet minimum. Yeah.... no.

[mk162]

say what?  the setup for us is $400(one time) and small boxes 16x12x12 are about $.80 each and the larger double walled ones 22x14x16 are about $2.

I order usually 1000 of each at a time, but the small ones aren't going as fast this go around so I'll probably just get 1000 bigguns next order.
