I just hope I can get the postal costs fairly cheap for you Vidar as this box is quite big with 20 of these in it plus a tiny amount of bubble wrap to protect them.

What was the postage costs previously Vidar when you got these from Cine Supplies? Did he use a courier service or Royal Mail?

I've sent a PM back. But I have no idea what they mean with locality, sorry. I think maybe USPS is the cheapest, even if they're a lot more than a couple of years ago

Edit : I thought you were US :-) Royal Mail is bound to be cheaper I think. Sorry for my slowness

This hopefully, will give others ideas of what can be done with the 1200ft boxes to make them look a little better than just boring old white boxes with a label stuck on them. These are also laminated just for longevity and durability. [Razz]

A bit better than your average DVD cover, I am sure you'll agree.

Yippee.. my first successful photo placement on the forum without too much hassle!

I am thinking of making these boxes with a digital picture and synopsis on the back even with a spine printed title.

Do you think you may be interested.

I am not too sure I entirely follow sorry. Please can you elaborate and do you mean printing the actual artwork onto the boxes at manufacturing stage?

I just produce these as and when I buy a new film. These don't take me long at all now Stephen as they all come from pre worked templates.

I cannot see that it would be feasible to design and manufacture and print a box for everyones one off demands, though hopefully, you will prove me wrong

How much would each double 1200ft box cost?

These by the way have artwork on every surface even the bottoms of the boxes with the details for synopsis, director etc etc as part of the front cover art.

Please let me know how your proposal would work?
Thanks, Andrew.

I am left bewildered????

Hopefully Stephen will let me know how he is going to execute his business proposal tomorrow...and at what cost.

Yes, I am perfectly aware Winbert, that it can be done... it's just whether it can be done on 2x1200ft reel boxes, all individualized with professional grade glossy artwork to a customer's individual specific requirements, on all surfaces covering any film title, whilst still being able to offer this as a service at a price point which a customer is happy to pay.

In other words, as a business model as Stephen was proposing.

This service, obviously would also have to include the postage to an individual customer per box set at the end.

Those were my questions to Stephen which brought about my bewilderment.

It's not a service I personally could ever offer anyone on here, which is why I sell the few extra plain 1200ft boxes I have over from what I need for myself, to others, and allow them to choose for themselves how to dress these things up and to whatever extent they choose.

My box art photographs were posted on here, just to give people who are buying these, some ideas of how they can look when decorated.

I try to keep the artwork as close to the original as possible including the spine detail as this final photo shows:
