Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
buy from a local box wholesaler so you get them immediately and pay no shipping. You can get the standard sizes that gildan/nextlevel/etc use for their shirts for around $1.50 or less a box at low quantities (i usually buy 100 or so at a time). I only use them for certain orders. I just re-use the boxes the shirts ship in for orders where I know no one who cares will see the boxes (like small businesses without any office traffic that I have worked with for a while), but definitely use them for schools, festivals, etc where lots of people will see the box.For orders under 50 I usually use kraft paper bags with handles that I buy from http://www.webstaurantstore.com/print with waterbased inks.
