Quite frankly as I’ve stated atleast two times already I am not willing to pay $75.00 plus shipping for 10 cardboard boxes . Heck for 75 more boxes it’s only $62.50 more then you’re gonna pay for 25 . I understand setup cost etc but that’s a prime reason to order in larger quantities . I think you need to rethink this whole thing as I’m not willing to fork over $75 for ten boxes plus whatever it costs to get them to you then on to me . That’ll end up being most likely $100 for ten boxes sorry but I’m out of that’s the case .

Well I planned to order the larger lot next as I just want to get a small batch first and see how well they turn out . According to their website the real thing should look more detailed than the 3d model so I will see. Just didnt want to order 100 at first and when I receive them have some sort of flaw . I just received the final art work proof. The shipping came out to $35 in stead of $40 so thats a bit better . I wish there was a way I could download the designs and send the files out to whoever wants them .

So these intial samples came in today, I am surprised the measurements I came with were spot on for 25 8 ga shells . The boxes are made from some pretty sturdy material .I dont think they are actually that much bigger than say a box of 10 ga 3.5" shells at least they dont feel like it now I got them in front of me .

The measurements for the inside I used were 4.875"x3.25"x4.875".

That’s a very nice looking box!!

Very Nice Boxes there Milton,
I guess beggars can't be choosers, but do you plan to put Starr Cartridge Company on all of them I suppose?
Thanks,

Thats just a place holder for now the 3d modeling software is pretty easy to use if anyones wants to give it a shot you can put in the measurements I used for the boxes .

They did a pretty good job the box looks just like it did in the 3d model. They actually got them finished faster than their estimated time frame .

Something more like this ?

That’s great Milton,

I think that would be excellent,

if you would like to put your name on and makes it less costly for them to be the same, I will still buy some:)

Heres a 10rd box I have been working on the art is a painting of the Chesapeake bay. I just came up with a brand name as I see the logo as part of the decoration itself but it could be anything really. I like how sturdy these boxes are and the tab closes them securely feels like you could knock one off a table and it wouldn't accidently open.
