Boxes for pen turners

[sachbvn]

Hey guys - not sure where you are getting your boxes from. I've gotten a few packages from Woodcraft, I ordered some from Jerry - but I was directed towards this site and found a box that is pretty nice looking - and real inexpensive.

www.nashvillewraps.com/jewelry-boxes/kraft-boxes/sku-43k.html

It is a jewelery box, it has a piece of that non-tarnish cotton in the bottom, and a separate lid. Now - there is no insert to hold the pen down - but at like .33/box plus shipping - it is significantly cheaper than anything I've found - PLUS if your putting a pen in each box, it's not really a big deal to have the pen slide around, IMO.

The only thing I've found is - it says it's 7/8" deep - so, not sure that it could hold larger pens, but it could easily hold slims.

Monty does bulk buys on pen boxes. I'd check with him first before ordering anywhere else.

I realize that's your opinion, but in my opinion, it's more professional if the pen is held in place and not sliding around. I have pen boxes here - www.woodenwonderstx.com/PenBoxPage.html

I get my boxes from Monty and have for quite some time. I like the boxes and sleeves I get from him, and I like not having the pen bounce around in the box.

For doubles, like a pen and pencil set, I have not found any better way to ship them off than with the double pen boxes Monty has.

I am always looking for the best products so I appreciate the info Zac, but I prefer the boxes from Monty and am going to stay with those for now.

What the heck guys - where have you been, you go on and on about his CA glue, which I give my business too - I didn't know about the boxes!! Well Monty - I'll probably be ordering some from you very soon!

I agree - a box holding the pen snug is much better - but at the cost that some places try to charge - it just cuts too deep into the profit.

I can't get the pictures of your boxes up right now Monty - it could be my browser - I'll check back!

What about bottle stoppers - do you guys put them in any type of case or tube when you sell them? Where do you get them?

You mean you didn't read the memo? You did NOT read the official "More than one way to package a Pen" Memo?

That settles it;

You are not going to believe this Zac. I use the 2"x3" cloth bags that Monty sells for bottle stoppers .

Actually they are 4X5 pouches.

[Doug B]

Ooops. I shoulda known better than to trust my memory. I just measured them and they are 4"x5" pouches.

By the way Monty, I'm having troubles with your web site too.

What's the problem?
Anyone else have problems with it?

[sachbvn]

None of the pictures show up from the link posted above.... nothing happens when I click on them either.

Not sure if that's the same problem others are having or not.

Zac

[Doug B]

I'm having the same problem Zac is experiencing.

<edit in> Is this the correct website to be using?

I'll check it out tonight and see where the picts went.

[monty]

Picts should show up now. Let me know if there are any other problems.

[sachbvn]

They are working for me now - thanks!

Zac

[Doug B]

Looks good Monty. Thanks!

[monty]

That's great.
It seems someone who shall remain nameless was doing some cleanup on the web site files and removed the directory that contained the pictures. I wonder who that could have been
