Does anybody know of a place that sells flat shipping boxes for 16mm films I have several that are in cans but want extra protection when shipping. need 5-11"x11"x1.25", 12-13"x13"x1.25", 1-14.5"x14.5"x 1.25"
I have bigger boxes that I can use for multi reels but if I need to sell 1 I may need a smaller box. I might check out our local pizza place to see if I can buy a few new boxes and turn them inside out.
Thanks

Many supermarkets in the UK keep empty cardboard boxes for the use of customers. Have you such a store nearby where you could get some free boxes?

Building on Maurice's reply, if in MN you have a BJ's, Costco or Sam's Club warehouse store, they have free boxes you can get on your way out of the store. The thinest boxes are probably the last to go as customers would not be able to put many groceries in a film-sized box like the ones that you specify.
