Best idea? I've been looking at getting custom boxes made allowing for 10cm top to bottom and 5cm side to side room for foam protection for my products... Is this a stupid idea or should I just stick the box in the box and ship it on with some sellotape?

Where would I go for a good supply of cardboard boxes that aren't danced on that I can even stick the styrofoam into myself?

Is there somewhere I can ship my products to before myself to do this or something?

First time working with real world goods, so I'm really flustered here it's entertainingly annoying to find a source for these kinds of things.

Any replies appreciated, fight me otherwise!
 
I used to get my supply of cardboard from various recycling points at industrial/town centre businesses for free, and cut them to fit.

Isn't it going to cost you more to post it overall? If its a box in a box, most people will be happy, we don't all enjoy amazon excess packaging stuffing.
 
Packaging wholesalers, look for prices for single wall and double wall.

I am seeing something new about you but cant point my finger anywhere...hmmmm
 
Where would I go to get prices compared boys? Found my perfect match, leaves room for bubble wrap or some stuff to keep the customers happy!

Hunting for packaging material takes some effort but putting in other promotional material in the boxes with the product that relate to the product to get another sale does not take much effort at all.

Be sure to do that.

That's the plan bro, any left over items we've bought in bulk I can throw into slips and ship out cheap.

Have a partner, with a shed and an interest in the same niche that we're going to try fill up with parts.

Would be great if I could show you the business plan, to see if I'm doing anything half assed. Price comparison and product placement isn't as fun as it sounds.

I'd love to see the business plan... PM me that when you have some time.
