HIBS- Need help with box supplier

Made By Debbie Howe, 16 January, 2011 at 16:13 Posted on Planning 0 16

I'm looking for a wholesaler to supply me some boxes. I need an Approx. size of 12" x 5" x 2". It seems to be an awkward size which is why I can't find any. With the option to have my name printed on would be good.

Does anybody know somebody they can recommend?

    No idea if they have the size you want but I use Potters for my boxes which are printed although I can't recommend their service at all, each time I've ordered it's been wrong and their customer service is poor beyond belief. Unfortunately I'm stuck with them now as they have my art work and blocks and price wise they are good.

    Thanks for that, potters was the only site I had found but wasn't quite sure about them. Plus their site has not been updated for a long time which was putting me off.

    Don't be put off by their website because their products, prices and quality is fine but they just don't seem to grasp my requirements! I basically want different boxes with different blocks used and that confuses them a lot! They have been in business for years and years and are trustworthy. They have sorted out all the problems I'd had with replacements/refunds so no issues there, just a pain to need to do that.

    I do like their site and the prices do seem pretty good, although I don't think they have many the right size for me, wlll have another look. One of the links Sherrie has given me looks really good. I will have to make a decision this week.

    Another question for you- is there something on here that I can change to give me notifications of when somebody replies to a thread I have posted on? I'm sure there must be but I can't figure it out.

    Kerri the mistakes they have made with my orders have been so stupid because in my order I detail exactly what blocks to use on what boxes. I have a corner block for tiara boxes as the 35mm block looked silly but oh no they ignore my order and use the smaller block despite the order form saying 'use bespoke corner block on tiara boxes'. I've had every excuse from being short staffed to new staff to no excuse because the owner couldn't work out why they keep getting it wrong. They also used the wrong colour of print and didn't see that as being a problem ?.

    Anyway the main thing is the problems always get sorted out which is the important fact and why I still kinda recommend them. Mistakes happen, it's life after all, it's what people do to fix it that is cruical.

    Debbie if you go into your profile (just click on your name) there is a setting for email notifications where you can turn them on and off.

    Debbie, I replied on your Facebook page (but don't know if it showed up because you asked again after I'd commented?). Have a look at https://www.noblepack.com/Gift-Packaging-Boxes.asp. Lots of different sizes. I use the solid jewellery boxes and two-piece boxes and have my logo printed.

    Lawrie you're a star, they look fab and good prices, think I will be using them.

    Nothing came up on my facebook page. Facebook does play up a lot, maybe your message will appear later. Thank you for replying on here. I wish I had put a post on ages ago. I've spent the last couple of weeks looking at boxes.

    I don't know whether I'm going blind or just being thick but can't find it. Do I need to be on here or on the supplier bit, if you know what I mean?

    Might have to email hitched and get them to do it for me, if they can.

    No just your forum log in.

    Click on your name and then edit my profile on the left hand side. Then 'forum preferences' and then click 'site options' just above your signature. That bit is all squished together so easy to miss. Then near to the bottom you should have 'email configuration' and I've copied what I can see. You need to say 'yes' for send notifications if you want emails when people reply or no if you don't.

    Hope you find something to suit there Debbie. Could be I've done something wrong with Facebook. I've only just set up my account/page so don't know if I've done it right! I had 'liked' your page in reply to the post here about HIBs on Facebook, so your box request popped up on my news feed and I commented from there. Maybe I should have gone to your page first?

    That really is squished together, no wonder I was missing it. Thanks for that, hopefully it will work now and save me time.

    Thanks Lawrie.

    I don't think you've done anything wrong, I normally reply when it comes up on my wall and it's fine. It was probably just facebook playing up.
