I want to pick up some cardboard boxes to keep cartridge-based games in, and I've seen Uline recommended. I just wanted to see what people thought about sizes and if there were any alternatives to Uline for Naomi specifically.

The 10 x 6 x 2 White Indestructo mailers were recommended for Naomi. The minimum order size is 100, and it would cost $134. I would probably need at most 15 or 20 way in the future. I like the white, and it looks like the closest they have for the cheaper literature mailers is 11 x 6.5 x 2.75. They're sold in 50-packs, which is still too many (but not completely unreasonable). Are there any other alternatives? Does anyone have some extras to sell?

For MVS, I'd like something that looks like the kit boxes. Not sure on the exact dimensions for them, but box protectors are 9 x 7 3/16 x 2 5/16. Something a little smaller would be fine. I'm leaning towards these Uline literature mailers - 9 x 6.5 x 2.75; they're ~20% cheaper than the 9 x 7.5 x 3, but these might be a closer match. Any thoughts on the size closest to the original kit boxes? I don't care so much about height, but I'd like to keep width and depth close. I'd likely pick up a full set of 50 from Uline directly.

For CPS2, SouthTown recommends these 18 x 12 x 3 literature mailers. A set of 25 is fine, so I'll get them direct as well.

Thanks!
 
Any interest in original NAOMI boxes?

I have 4 or 5 of these available.
 
I ended up picking up the 11 x 6.5 x 2.75 for Naomi and 9 x 7.5 x 3 for MVS with Uline, but I found cheaper Partners Brand Literature Mailers, 18" x 12" x 3", Kraft at Staples for the CPS2. With shipping, the Naomi and MVS boxes were $1.40 each (I have 50) and CPS2 were $2.23 each (25 pack).

I'm very happy with all of them. CPS2 is the tightest fit, there's a little bit of wiggle room. Definitely not enough room for an A and B board, but the LCD from a Darksoft multi should fit. Naomi is great, the width is just about perfect and there's clearance in the depth and height. I don't have a NetDimm or any other sized board to try to fit, so I'm not sure about that. The MVS boxes are a bit big, but a layer of anti-static bubble wrap helps. I don't have an original kit to compare it to, but it feels right.

Lol yeah, same. I'd be happy to sell some of these off, but shipping might be tricky.
 
If you were willing to pay for Euro shipping, the neominiboxes are my go to. he sells through eBay and can work with you on custom labels
