Nah, just my 2 bare hands and a pair of scissors, watch out Blue Peter! I'm useless at this type of thing but I reckon I can knock up some coaster boxes.

Years ago I made mine on my CraftRobo:
Using templates, I could adjust the size of the box depending on the thickness and quantity of the chosen coasters.
I stopped doing them because I worked out that I was making so little profit on coasters that the extra work involved was just not worth it.
Nowadays I use little plastic bags (2 coasters fit in each bag).
Might look at those boxes, though. They look intriguing.

I'm intrigued how they managed to make 80,000 in error, surely after making a few they would realise they had gone wrong?

What I do now is use these two products.
http://www.listawoodtradesupplies.co.uk ... product=50
http://www.listawoodtradesupplies.co.uk ... product=18 The plastic stand with the coasters and the acetate box together makes a nice presentation. It gives added perceived value to the product.

lol Paul i did actually think about buying loads and selling them on in smaller quantities
they are in birmingham, so i might hang on until the 26th march as i'm off to wolverhampton for the weekend,
i can save on the heavy postage charge then
