Steve Osborne of The Reel Image has them.. I've purchased many. Excellent Quality.

Like Vincent, I got mine from Steve Osbourne. Steve's boxes are very robust high quality stiff card, not like the flimsy white boxes that Derann used. You can tape one side of the box with Scotch packing tape to form a nice hinge.

I have white 1200ft Super 8 card boxes for sale if anyone ever needs any.

Posted by Vidar Olavesen (Member # 3354) on January 27, 2015, 11:51 AM:

I need those and 800' + 600's

How much are your 1200' boxes?

Felt sad when my supplier said he drop out (one of the members here) ... He was very helpful

Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on January 27, 2015, 04:39 PM:

I am a lover of the hobby. I will never do anyone a disservice, therefore for you Vidar, with all of your efforts of superb photos etc during the Blackpool convention for us all to enjoy, I offer you these gratis.

Just simply let me know how many you would like.

Posted by Vidar Olavesen (Member # 3354) on January 27, 2015, 04:44 PM:

Oh, my, that was very nice of you, but do not want you to have expenses. I can pay for them. I would like to order 20 if possible. Appreciate your offer, very kind

Collectors are nice people, are they not :-)

Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on January 27, 2015, 04:54 PM:

Vidar I will get twenty out in the post to you by Thursday. I will charge you only for what it costs me to send to you British Royal Mail to Norway. If you ever need any more,just ask.

Please inbox me your postal details Vidar

Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on January 28, 2015, 08:14 AM:

Posted by Vidar Olavesen (Member # 3354) on January 28, 2015, 08:35 AM:

It's me who thanks you for extreme kindness. I am blown away by the generosity of collectors.

Hello Andrew PM sent to you thanks

Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on January 29, 2015, 02:48 PM:

I've packed your boxes today Vidar but didn't get chance to post as I had to wait in today. I will post tomorrow and get back to you. Thomas once I have sorted Vidars order I will get back to you for what you want.

Posted by Vidar Olavesen (Member # 3354) on January 29, 2015, 04:11 PM:

Thank you so much ... Appreciate this

Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on January 29, 2015, 04:47 PM:

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?

Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on January 30, 2015, 10:59 AM:

Vidar I have sent you another pm. Please reply as soon as possible so I can get this parcel off to you before I am back on shift.

Posted by Vidar Olavesen (Member # 3354) on January 30, 2015, 11:14 AM:

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

Posted by Jim Schrader (Member # 9) on January 30, 2015, 02:32 PM:

Wow Steve Osborne shipped my items quickly I told him my order and today it arrived thanks Steve your payment is on its way.

Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on February 18, 2015, 03:23 PM:

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!

and a few more:

Posted by Stephen Iddon (Member # 1966) on February 19, 2015, 01:59 PM:

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.

Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on February 19, 2015, 02:02 PM:

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?

Posted by Stephen Iddon (Member # 1966) on February 19, 2015, 02:11 PM:

Yes I do mean print the box at the manufacturing stage.

Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on February 19, 2015, 02:20 PM:

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 have done this. I have even made a video of it:

cheers,

Posted by Andrew Woodcock (Member # 3260) on February 20, 2015, 02:29 AM:

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:
