[ILL-L] Bookfold mailers

[Interlibrary Services, Lending]

We have been using multi-depth corrugated book folds for the last two
years and think that using them has decreased damage and loss during the
shipping process.
Our unit uses boxes from Office Depot.
Item # 808992 (sm) 50/pack @ $41.25
Item # 809304 (Med) 50/pack @ $77.48

We occasionally order the large size, but we find the majority of our
shipping goes out in small or medium sized bookfold mailers.

Also, we do recycle and reuse incoming boxes that are in good condition
and this helps keep the number of new boxes used to a minimum.

Hello, 

Can someone who is using bookfold boxes for mailing books please contact
me with supplier recommendations? I'm looking for a good combination of
price and sturdiness as well as a variety of sizes available.

Many thanks,
