Guest Awake 502 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Used to use Covers 45 but cannot find their website anymore, anyone have any suggestions for storage boxes for 7" singles ?
Suinoz Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Used to use Covers 45 but cannot find their website anymore, anyone have any suggestions for storage boxes for 7" singles ? Try your local hardware/motor accessories supplier. Someone like B and Q or Halfords. They should have toolboxes with hinged lockable lids, usually made of galvanised steel. I have all my records stored in these and they hold approx 200 singles. I live in OZ but there should be something very similar available in the U.K. Go onto google and tap in steel toolboxes. You should hopefully find something mate. ATB Tony. Perth, W.A.. K.T.F.

Thanks for the reply, looking for cardboard boxes with lids to store 45's, Darran
Trevor Bridge Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Thanks for that info Pikey Joe. Very useful.
Trevor Bridge Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Sorry, meant Pikeys Dog - don't know where Pikey Joe came from!
Dave West Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Try the boxes that A4 paper comes in, you should get them free from any big office but make sure you get the lids
Diggin' Dave Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I get mine from Germany at protected.de and always been very pleased. I'm sure the same boxes can be found somewhere in the UK too though...
Guest Awake 502 Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 These are what I am looking for https://www.bagsunlimited.com/cart/detail.asp?product_id=x45150 Found a couple of places in the UK, but 7 quid for a cardboard box is taking the p***
Cheapsiderecords Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Bags Unlimited take the piss as well.
Guest Awake 502 Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) Anyone speak German ??? www.protected.de have some Edited January 26, 2010 by Awake 502

Ged Parker Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I USE THESE https://www.reallyuse...18_0litreXL.php HOPE ITS OF USE KEV I prefer the 9ltr ones Kev the 18 ltr ones don't have a seperator so they end up interwoven if that makes sense well they do until you put a strong card divider between the rows.
TOAD Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I USE THESE https://www.reallyuse...18_0litreXL.php HOPE ITS OF USE KEV i have loads of these for cds,tapes and 35XL FOR LPS VERY STRONG ive stacked them 7 high plus theres racking available.
Ian Parker Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 It might be worth checking E Bay I got one that holds 200 records for £14.99 with free p&p Debbie x
Soul-slider Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 If you got an Ikea near you, try them. They do some superb wooden boxes that are perfect cause they can be stacked up on each other as the depth allows the 45s to sit under the rim. They come in either black or white and are about £4 each but well worth it. They do a cardboard one too complete with lid and extra strong, about £2.50 each.

Dave West Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 put some parcel tape around to strengthen box if needed

I have a couple of these wooden boxes, they also made them for LPs. Great boxes, BUT, they're not selling/making them anymore, at least not in Norway...

Guest malayka Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I use wooden boxes which at one stage contained TNT, they have the perfect width and are very strong....you should be able to find them in army sales / carboots....they also look good, with the bold "TNT" inscription on the sides... M.
