Capital Plastics Boxes...

[TonerGuy]

Anyone know any sources where these types of boxes can be purchased ? Many of the used capital plastic holders on Ebay that are either older custom mades or out of production do not have boxes included with the auctions.

 

I sent two emails to Capital but no response and I have looked at several box manufacturing websites but no one seems to stock the unusual sizes needed for their holders...

 

(and Im not a big fan of the flannel pouches)

 

Anyone every find a company that sells boxes that can be used with the all different sized Capital holders ?

 

Thanks....

I use a lot of Capital holders but have no idea were to even start looking. I've carefully kept all my boxes.

You might be the only one...

 

I went to Air-Tite and they have a box that will work for the small War Nickels and 41-45 Merc holders...

 

The impossible quest is to find a thin box that will fit their 14x8, 10x8 and 8x6 holders... most boxes that big are 2+ inches thick...

You have tried their website

and email: collector@capitalplastics.com

 

JACO - Capital Plastics website

 

 

The smaller holders come in bags, and not boxes

I would think you should be able to order $50 worth of stuff to get boxes

 

otherwise you could try making some of your own

 

you also can occasionally find old dealer stock stuff in auctions of something in a box

 

 

 

[TonerGuy]

Yep... sent two emails. Called today. I dont think they have a person just for the Capital Plastics line...

 

Make my own ? Do tell how !

You might try an easy fold mailer You can get 14 X 8 X 1/2, 10 X 8 X 5/8, they don't have 8 X 6

Found a company that has 8 1/2 X 6 X1/2 They can also do the 10 X 8 but not the 14 X 8

They aren't as pretty as the Capital Plastic boxes, but they should work.

You can make your own boxes with card stock, scissors/paper cutter, tape

depending on heavyness of paper, may need to double thick

 

or possibly have a local printer make them for you

 

 

If you have paper that can go through a printer, you can put any design or name of your collection on cover.

Thank you very much. I missed those. I like the Papermart boxes... just got to find a 14x8 one now.

Handmade cardboard boxes... hmmm might try that for the 14x8 size. Thank you for the suggestion.

For anyone else wondering...

 

Capital just emailed me and they no longer stock boxes for their holders. Everything is sold in plastic baggies...

You might be the only one...

Nope, he's not ! I jealously keep all my boxes as well, and as mentioned, it can be REALLY difficult to locate nice CPs with their original boxes intact.

[PennyGuy]

That's two votes for "It's not the plastic, it's the box"

[TonerGuy]

Yep... its always about the "box!" ...

 

Well I asked Captial but they wouldnt tell me who their former supplier was...

 

So I took Condors advice and actually found a local box store that sold the boxes he linked to so I wouldnt have to buy a carton of them...

 

Hey there might be a secondary Capital box market out there !

[PennyGuy]

You may have just discovered a new market to tap.

[mtnstyne]

I have one more of these if you want it.

 

[PennyGuy]

Thanks for the offer, but my CP holders are 8x10 and 8x14. They fit nicely in a SDBox at the bank.

[TonerGuy]

Put the cardboard boxes together today (glued them actually). They worked out nicely. Not perfect but satisfactory. And I even cut and glued together two tie boxes that worked perfectly for the 14x8 size I needed....

 

An Exacto knife, rubber cement and some velcro and it all came together...

How much?? I have that exact box and could use a second one!

I don't know exactly what you are looking for, maybe this will help

Just had a conversation with a local Mid Michigan coin dealer. Seems he has a stack (don't know how many that is) of CP boxes. Hmmm, I'll try to get sizes and quantities if anyone is interested.

[TonerGuy]

I am, of course, very interested.

 

Needed;

 

3.5 x 6

4.5 x 6

five - 8 x 10

14 x 8

 

and I would be interested in more if you can get them.

[PennyGuy]

I will pass the message on and see what he has..........

 

Please stand by.......... (might take a couple of days)

[TonerGuy]

Thats quite alright. I appreciate the help.
