I have a few of those flip top plastic boxes and I am not nuts about them.
They aren't waterproof and rain can seep in the top soaking your packing.
I have some wonderful large, hard solid ,tan,plastic boxes I bought from
another potter over 10 years ago and have not been able to find since (I
know that"s a big help) but for little things, I am using the
Walmart-variety of rubbermaid boxes. Plates and other large flat things I
pack in milk crates with recycled carpet padding in between. the packing
style is an ever evolving thing. I started in cardboard boxes and gradually
moved to plastic. Now as I am getting a little bit older, I am using
smaller boxes that don't weigh as much when full and are easier to pick up!
Packing around pots?- Its all recycled bubble wrap retrieved from
department store dumpsters! The pots are wrapped in blank newsprint when
they are sold-this comes from the local paper- all prefolded and stacked.
when the press first turns on,it takes several minutes for the ink to come
in so every day there is a nice tall stack of blank folded newspaer that
usually goes in the recycle bin. some days its the" only news fit to print"!
