RWTMINN 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2014 Can anyone who donates flies to various groups recommend an effective way to package them . It is straightforward when I am donating a Flybox but in cases where it is just a dozen or so individual flies , wondered what folks might be using . Currently trying to buy some Plancon Blisterboxes ( L 1.69, W.1.50 , D .75) but not sure I am going to be able to find those without a commercial account . I have used old Altoid tins , which work well . Thanks for any suggestions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rockworm 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2014 You can buy all manner of gift boxes from Paper Mart http://www.papermart.com/two-piece-full-lid-plastic-boxes/id=16500#16500. I have purchased PVC telescope boxes in small, medium and large sizes from them and recommend them highly. Unfortunately, you do need to buy by the case.

Al Beatty 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2014 Hi Group, Old Danville or other manufacturer thread boxes work fairly well. We have a lot of them at the end of each tying season and find they work fairly well to send flies. They are really easy to glue strips of foam in so flies don't move around in the box while shipping. If you don't have these boxes you might check with you local fly shop. Many shops just throw the boxes away after they are emptied. Take care & ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
