Wouldn't bankers boxes work exactly the same? Plus you can steal them from the office. Just a thought...
Banker Boxes are typically 12" or 15" wide and about 10 1/4" tall with single wall construction... So if you don't mind crushed boxes and severe storage wear - you are good to go. Banker Boxes rely on the contents of the box to provide the support and rigidity when you go to stack them. If you are only putting discs that are 8.75" tall or less - you end up with 2 inches of "crush" zone at the top of the boxes... The lids also aren't full sides... So say you are a flymart and you have 50 of these boxes - Like Plastic Addicts out of Central Illinois... where you going to put the 50 lids of a banker box when you set up your spread? Or worse you have the design that just has the flaps that are held closed with a piece of string - you just gonna keep folding those flaps back every time the flymart gets set up or just leave the flaps up? Bankers Boxes aren't intended to be opened and closed all the time - stuff suppose to be put in the and store in a warehouse and destroyed 7 years later.
With these boxes the tray nests in the lid when you are selling or you can rest the tray in the lid on an angle for a "fruit-stand" effect...
The boxes that copy paper comes in work - you just have to store the discs in two rows... but the lids are almost worthless. The lids are designed to stay in place on for shipping and require the banding or the heat glue.
One of the better features of our boxes is when the lid is closed since it is full length if a stack of your boxes falls over (say off a wheel cart) the discs don't go flying everywhere since the box lid doesn't come off. Side note, one of the most frustrating things about the gray bin buckhorns is when a stack of boxes gets dumped over and the discs pour out everywhere...
If you are looking for another good box that might be just laying around - the Bread Boxes Jimmy Johns uses work good - but it is difficult to stack those - no lids.
These boxes interior measures are just shy of 9" high and 9" wide and the trays are double wall corrugated. When the box is assembled and the lid is closed or the tray is nested in the lid the handle ends are a full one inch thick.
We had to get the dyes cut for these boxes... cuz these dimensions and this design wasn't already out there - We know, because we looked. We would have loved to save the thousands of dollars.
Exactly the same... well, not exactly - but any box lying around would do - I mean we have all seen folks on the courses trying to play with the free frisbees they got from a parade or insurance agent's office - technically they are playing disc golf. But we all know that not all plastic discs are the same...
