Where to Bulk Buy Polypins

Post by SiHoltye » Sat Jul 26, 2014 5:19 am

Any folks know where to buy these at a reasonable price? I'm after maybe 100 to start and also interested in a design service for the cardboard outer. Any clues?

Thanks all.

I got some from jigsaw. Their online shop shows different rates for different bulk quantities, and the homepage says they can customise the packaging (though I haven't tried that). They seem okay, although the boxes really need taping/glueing to stay shut reliably IMO.

I've also seen small scale commercial brewers saying they like Taylor Davis and Vigo, the latter advertising that glue isn't needed, but I haven't tried either of those myself.

(EDIT: These are all the bag-in-box/BiB things which are sometimes referred to as polypins; there are thicker plastic polypins about too, but I don't know where to get those)

Cheers

Thanks Kev. I asked at Darkstar and they use Jigsaw who livery up their boxes. Strong tape appears to be the way to go for them.
