Where to buy TRIMpak cases, cheap, on east coast?

Hi,

We go through about 1200 trimpak cases a year.

My old supplier (arcal.com) is great, but they're on California. When were in Oregon, shipping was cheap. Now we're in Virginia and shipping that far drives up the price.

We're paying .23 each for them in quantity.

Any suggestions?

Oh, and TrimPak cases are like c-shell CD cases. They're those soft plastic CD cases. I like 'em because they're more durable than jewel cases and flatter and lighter so they ship cheaper.

Try tapeandmedia.com, located in Conneticut:

Trimpak case: $0.18 each in quantities of 200

(I have never purchased from this company, so I don't know anything about them, but they seem to match your requirements.)

Smart idea using froogle.

I used that and also found:
http://store.yahoo.com/formats/trimpak.html

Which has 'em for .18 each (same price). They're in N.Y.

Neither this or the above site offers any colors. I've emailed to ask if they have 'em in colors. We like to use blue as that's our company color.
