Title: Boxes
Post by: ScotsGirl on November 23, 2012, 08:07:31 pm

Does anyone know the cheapest place to source cardboard boxes? My farm shop puts meat in a plastic bag which is awkward to handle but I would prefer to have my meat butchered there. The abattoir does the meat in boxes but great at cutting to specifications

Do you mean the wee polystyrene trays for meat or actual cardboard boxes for packing joints/cuts in ?

I have a huge excess of poly trays here (just south of Glasgow) and you're more than welcome to some of them if you're close enough to collect or meet somewhere ? I suspect postage would be costly  :-\ or if you want to buy a supply check out Scobies  :thumbsup:

Thanks Karen but it was actual cardboard boxes and I am based in Wiltshire.  I will try looking at Scobies or googling.
