Who do you guys use as your supplier for the awesome red sparkfun boxes, that you ship all of your products in?

We are working on a product and want to have cool boxes too. Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Aerodyno

Would anyone be interested in us selling these things on our website?

Yup - I’ve heard several people say they’d love to get their hands on some of your boxes.

Including me. 🙂

While the boxes are cool, I’d prefer something sturdier than cardboard. How about something like the Plano StowAway ProLatch boxes: [http://www.planomolding.com/tackle/products.asp](http://www.planomolding.com/tackle/products.asp)? SparkFun red and stamped with the logo, of course.

These boxes are made for completely different uses, not for shipping.

I use a Plano tackle box for prototyping parts and tools:

[http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/46168?pi … \_301613655](http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/46168?pi=798688&subrnd=0&qs=3016887-ProductAds_301613655)

They are amazing, you can put all those caps and resistors into the tackle bins, toss the box around, spin, kick it, etc. and the parts stay in their respective compartments. Amazing.

Getting a Plano style box with the SFE logo on it with some tools and components already in it would be sweet. I’ll mention it.

I’ll mention the cardboard box idea as well. It might not fly so well though, think about it, boxes getting shipped in boxes, there is something weird about that.
