Frame transit boxes

Post by Thyrsis »

Does anyone know where I can buy quantities of cardboard boxes lined with foam like the ones Lion sell, ie Frame transit boxes?

Thanks.

If you want to buy boxes like Lion sell why not buy theirs?

Or do you mean where can I buy them cheaper?

Try Mitrecraft Wholesale Supplies in Lincoln 01522 511322. They get them to order in a huge range of sizes but without the foam inserts but if you are desperate perhaps you could add foam yourself.

As a follow up to my original query, I found a company called Packaframe through the 'Picture Framer's Directory' on this website. They are making me bespoke boxes.
