[NHCOLL-L:3535] Small boxes for IP collections

[Jane MacKnight]

The price of boxes from our local vendor has nearly tripled in the past eight months.  We're looking to purchase at least 2500 boxes with an interior dimension of 3" x 2" x 1.5" [.040 plain chip w/ white wrap, lid and base]  to fit into Delta DDLX cabinet drawers.  The current estimate is $1.52/each (up from $.67/ea. in January 07).

I'm looking for vendors in the Midwest who may already have the die cuts for this size and who may be cheaper.  Does anyone have recommendations?  Have other institutions found the price of boxes skyrocketing?

Thanks,
Jane
