If you are just needing a few boxes you can get them at your local Hobby Lobby or Michael's Arts and Crafts.

i just posted this same question a few weeks ago. i got a couple of replies but i chose this one because i didn't want to order 100 of any one item. you can find ones with free shipping but you have to order kind of a lot.

Do you live near a Party City? They sell boxes really cheap! Be careful though, they sell two brands. One is the Wilton brand, which is higher. But, they sell no name boxes too. The way to tell them apart other than looking for the wilton name is these boxes are never lying flat. I mean they are always put together already. I have no idea why the do that. It's harder to put several of them in your shopping cart and they are also harder to store at home, unless you take them apart.

I can't remember the exact amount for them but I am positive for the half sheet cake box, it's under $1 (maybe .99)

I just ordered some cupcake inserts to go in my 1/4 sheetcake boxes from this company: www.brpboxshop.com. They have free shipping and as far as I could tell, the cheapest prices on sheet cake boxes that I could find. I looked at alot of websites, but I certainly could be wrong.

The only problem as already stated before is you have to buy in bulk. For example I had to buy 100 of the cupcake inserts, but they came out to be only .20 each. That's why I justified buying 100 of them. That will last me a long, long time!

www.bgpaper.com is a really good one, too. You can order individual boxes, and mix and match, and the shipping doesn't go up significantly unless you order over 20 lbs, (because then they have to use a 2nd box for your order). I like it, too, because your total cost including shipping updates each time you change something in your shopping cart, so it's easy to see how much you're really going to pay. They have a really good variety of sizes of square cake boxes, too, and a bunch of other products. Hey, I sound like a commercial...maybe I should get a kickback from them! icon_smile.gif J/K

(little vent -- tho' I can't begin to count the number of times I've posted only to 2, 3, and even more come along and post the same thing as if I never had -- of course i put it down to the so prevalent attitude -- "he's a man, what does he know!")
