Throughout my years as a student, i have purchased countless reeds from various sources. Some people pack their reeds individually (Like the Jones, Rico reed cases), some put them in a plastic case with holes that has custom made plastic holders (like K. Ge), and i have seen candy boxes with hand glued strips that worked very well. Some terrible examples were reeds glued on 2 pieces of hard card and mailed just like that!!!! So my question is, where the hell do i buy those nice plastic cases (or alternatives) in bulk?

These also work well to ship reeds (I usually add a tiny bit of cotton in the bottom to protect the reed and advise buyers to use a proper reed case to store reeds):

I've seen other reed makers that used these tubes.

...It's good to recommend switching to another case once the reeds arrive at their destination. It's not by accident that the square (clear plastic) reed cases are nick-named "coffins"... They work well for transit, but not for longevity.

Thank you for the advise guys. How about:

Anyone has any idea where these type of boxes come from? I have seen ones where there isn't a hinge to connect the 2 sides of the case and they simply snuck into each other and works quite well with a little bit of cellotape.
Regards,
Howard

I suppose you could try a store that sells inexpensive jewelry...
