Krux Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 hard to find locally, expensive to have shipped to you. easiest way to do it is get a hot wire and buy sheet styrene from home depot or lowes, and then spend a couple seconds cutting them to fit any size cardboard box you have. tape the seams together with packing tape, and for a few cents per box you are good to go. the hotwire makes clean cuts, so it looks professional. you can get a battery powered cutter from michael's for under 10 bucks. if you go to a hobby shop you can get a plug powered cutter that will last a lot longer and cut much smoother for about 30, made by woodland scenics. if you find a supplier of uniform cardboard bozes and you plan to ship a lot, you can precut a lot of foam using a template made out of cardboard.

Isaac Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 I know where to buy them and I have made plenty. I'm more interested in used shipping boxes that people locally might have that I could recycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krux Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 ahh gotcha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 If you are looking for just the boxes......... get them free from the post office. Then like Krux said cut your styro to fit. You might even be able to get that free from a LFS that has a lot of shipping boxes. FREE is a great price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 I am looking for used styro lined shipping boxes for shipping frags. I am very familiar with constructing my own but I thought that some members may have boxes they have saved from an online frag order. I know I always save mine.
