Where to get solid cardboard boxes

[BeerEagle]

I'm fed up with a house full of 24-ish different shaped, coloured, quality boxes for storing my beer and empty bottles.

SWMBO has suggested (demanded!) that I tidy it all up.

Ideally I'd like nice, stackable plastic or wooden crates but I have better things to spend my money on (like beer, for example).

Does anyone know of a good source of strong cardboard boxes, preferably with dividers, that will take 12 * 500ml bottles, or if already discussed (I did look) please post a topic link.

Bless you all

Hmmm...

Well..... you could order a box or two of beer from Beers of Europe....they send it out in pretty sturdy boxes with dividers.....

Probably best (for me) if you don't tell your SWMBO who suggested it though :whistle:

Good idea Oz.

24 cases x 12 bottles at £2.50 = £720!

And another 288 bottles to house.

Plan B?

Just remembered that CaveDirect (Beermerchant.com) are quite close to me and isn't there a member here who works for them?

Hmmm....I don't suppose it helps if I volunteer to help drink some?

You would be most welcome, just as soon as I receive my lottery cheque.

Not sure how strong they are or if they have dividers, but Leek Brewery sell them. http://www.lawtonpc.co.uk/leekbeer/cms.html (You need to navigate to bottling consumables). Unfortunately they will charge you £10 + VAT delivery so depends on how many you need. Also check what size bottles will fit as their 3 bottle presentation boxes are not designed for the taller 500ml bottles.

Thanks BT, I'll give them a call.

Staples, B&M,The Range and others are doing special offers at the moment on plastic boxes with lids. Good and sturdy.

I was in Tesco a couple weeks ago and they had loads of empty wine boxes with dividers each holds 12 bottles nicely and I got about 5 of them. They stack well and seem quite solid...

Good leads, guys. Thanks.

I've not bought any but this place seems to do a few different beer packaging supplies;

10 @ £1.45 each + £7.50 deliver + VAT.

Not too bad, but you could probably get 10 plastic boxes as mentioned above for not much more from the Range or similar.

I use these, which I ordered at the end of last year:

I can't remember how the prices all broke down in terns of delivery cost, VAT,etc. (I've got my receipts filed away at home) but I can tell you from my bank statement that in total it cost me £15.75 for four boxes.
