Hi all,

Looking for a recommendation for a nice quality CD presentation box to give to every wedding client to store their proof CD in, Spicer Hallfield seemed to do some decent stuff but they've fallen victim to the "credit crunch" so that's ok.

Mario Acerbone do a really nice leather one for about £20, which is ok for my full res DVD purchase as I'll swallow up the price, but too much to justify for EVERY wedding.

MA also do a little 7"x5" box for storing proofs that could work but looks quite cheap to me, I'd rather give nothing than something low quality.

So basically I'm looking for something around the £5 mark, big enough to store a CD in, I don't mind if it's not lined, I'm happy to get in some fancy paper to line the box with or something like that, just needs to look nice enough to portray a decent image.

Asking too much ?

Any ideas?

Chris

Edit - here's the £1.50 Mario Acerbone box -

I use these:

They come with an overlay for the inside of the case though I don't use it, price is right, looks nice.

I think Spicers fell foul more of Graphistudio than the credit crunch, they adapted very slowly and unwillingly. I wasn't surprised that they didn't make it.

Hey Chris,

Here's my solution http://www.alexbeckett.co.uk/blog/2009/07/20/wedding-new-cd-boxes-are-here/

Yes, thanks Alex, I've seen your solution on the blog, but it doesn't help me on where to obtain them

Chris, have a look at Warehouse Video Services site. I`ve used their single and double `Prestigious` cases and they`re pretty good. They also do a metal case which i haven`t tried but might be worth a punt. Sorry, i don`t know how to post a link.

Beni,

Thanks, they're pretty nice, if I can't find anything for a few quid less I'll swallow the difference and go for that.

Ah well that's because it's all hand made...

Box is from Paperchase along with the lining
CD case is made with paper from paperchase and WH Smiths along with some standard mountboard
Blue Ribbon and Tissuepaper is from John Lewis.

All in all takes me about an hour to put together and costs about £5.

You're obviously more feminine and crafty than I then, if I tried to do that it'd look like a 6 year old's christmas present to mum and dad, the one they pretend to love but then "lose" 6 months later.

haha, it's not that difficult. Come round one night and I'll show you my scalpel skills...

Yeah....giving me a scalpel...that won't result in me no longer having a shutter button finger or anything.......I can just about rewire a plug without blowing myself up, and that's my limit.

I've found it usually helps to unplug it before rewiring....

Seriously though it's not that difficult and allows you to give couples something which is really unique and fits with your branding.

Well it probably is about time we shared another bottle of whiskey, fancy coming up one weekend?

anyone else on this?

Alex and Chris...

FM's likey lads.

haha, does that make you Rab C Nesbitt?

I was thinking more Sean Connery...

Sure if you've got the aston to back it up I'd be more than happy to call you Mr Connery. If not, Rab C it is...

Not too many Aston's in my neck of the woods and my wife did work in Sunny Govan...

Lots of Love
Rab

I had BK more down as Jack or Victor from 'chewing the fat'

I was going to say something but I reckon Steve may have to step in... again.
