Physical Location to Buy 100-300 Cardboard CD Sleeves in Toronto?

December 5, 2004 11:51 AM

Anyone know a place to buy cardboard CD sleeves cheap in Toronto? I used to buy from a place called Big Media Factory (10-30 cents each depending on qty) but they don't appear to be around anymore (web site is down and no one's answering the phone). I need them in small qty (100- 300). All the places I can find online only sell online. I need a place I can walk in as I need 'em Tuesday at the latest. And since the answers to the question will be so limited (due to my requirements), I'll open it up for future reference: where do you buy media sleeves/cases when you have time to have them shipped?

In the past, I've used Rima.com when online shopping for media cases. Their prices are good and they ship promptly.

Try any of the many computer stores by College and Spadina, especially Canada Computers.

Oh. I doubt canada computers has those. My bad. Computer systems centre might, but they'd be marked up by about 40%, being that it's a mac retailer.

Best answer: Effectuality Inc.'s got 'em. They're in North York. They're 23 cents each for quantities less than 500.

Do you really need paper or cardboard sleeves? The Staples/Office Despot gauze sleeves work well for single CDs, and can hold doubles in a pinch. Are you mailing these, then?
