packaging for sq coasters (and selling extra coasters)

I just ordered a bunch of blank coasters to print on and realized I better find some boxes to sell them in. Does any one have any boxed they use and like? I’m thinking of using clear boxes and my coasters are 4″ wide.If anyone is wanting some coasters and not wanting to buy them in bulk, let me know. I plan on selling some I don’t use in my etsy supply shop.thanks!

oh, and to add a quick question to this. If I print on the coasters with rubber ink, will it run if the coasters get wet. I’m assuming not, but want to be sure.thanks!!

I don’t know about packaging (beyond good old Uline), but I do know that the rubber ink won’t run! It takes longer to dry, but is as hard as anything.

update: I found some clear plastic boxes from clearbags.com that work well. They are the right length and height, but are a little too deep. For now I put a couple pieces of cardboard in there and it fills up the box, but wish they fit perfectly!

Christie I have the same problem with the crystal clear boxes from clearbags.com … I wish I could think of a really elegant solution for filling up the extra space! I searched high and low to find even those boxes, though. If only they were a few millimetres shallower.

Depending on what you plan on selling them for, I just ordered some round tin containers for my coasters. They are not to deep, but I think I can put 4-6 in there. They also had square ones as well depending on your coasters. http://www.specialtybottle.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=25

Christie- where did you order the coasters from? I’d like to try printing some but haven’t found any. AmericanCoaster’s website is no more and that’s the place that most people have (in the past, obviously) recommended. Thanks!!
