Hi Donna,
I purchase most of my materials from Talas, Hollinger and Gaylord. First thi
ng to do is determine what kind of box you need and what materials youâ€
™ll use. Then you can do some shopping around for the best material prices
. Talas, Hollinger and Gaylord are the three usual suspects although Iâ€
™ll also use other suppliers (e.g., University Products) depending on what
project I’m working on or what type of enclosure I’m making
. If you have further questions about box making, feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Danielle Benden, Owner
