The old CD case, first designed by Philips many years ago, has proved a perennially difficult storage medium for libraries. The outer trays are brittle and not designed for hard wear & tear. A heavy book dropped in an After Hours Chute will be too much for the feeble CD case outer!

If you have CD cases with broken or shattered outer cases, why not try our Polypropylene Model CD-017? With its soft durable material (same as a DVD case) you can replace the outer casing only and clip the existing CD tray with its disc in the new outer housing – save some dollars & make your CD more durable

Containers of new stock are arriving soon; we’re overstocked and have a shortage of space! (This is true – not a Carpet sales pitch!)

Here’s a great bargain if you use these Slim DVD cases. They come in cartons of 100, and minmum purchase is 1 carton of 100

100-900 – $0.30 each + GST + freight

1000 + – $0.25 each + GST + freight

‘But wait there’s more!’ Oh no, sorry - there’s not! But ‘Get in fast while stocks last!’

VHS Cases stock is almost finished!

Three years ago we scoured the country and stockpiled our own stash of VHS cases so requests for small quantities of VHS cases from libraries and collectors could be met for as long as possible. From past experience, we knew that the older superceded formats would still need packaging for some time to come  …. some libraries still hold stocks of videos on VHS for their older demographic; collectors and enthusiasts re-catalogue and consolidate their collections; one of our clients uses VHS cases as an outer package to mail her jewellery range – all sorts needs!

Well, we’ve almost run out of our supply. Some single VHS cases in white & black only; a few doubles in white only; and a small supply of triples and quads are still in our warehouse – but not for long! Please let us know if we can help you with this product.

Been visiting Nthn NSW libraries (Public, TAFE & Uni) since last Wed 1st Feb, and it’s been bucketing down! But the welcome has been warm at Gosford, Wyong, Pt Stephens, Pt Macquarie and Foster. Unfortunately, we (Jeff & Denise Baldock) couldn’t get into Taree because of flooding, but have arrived in Coffs Harbour and the sun is shining beautifully – and. thankfully, the sun hasn’t been as hot as Perth at this stage.

Off to Grafton, then Armidale tomorrow (Monday 6th), and on Tuesday hope to get through Tamworth (floods permitting), then down New England Hwy to Maitland.

Hope to catch you if we’re in your town. Please let us know if you want a new catalogue or a visit from us – wherever you are.

Lainie Strempel from Mitcham Library in beautiful downtown Kingswood SA, reports that staff at her library love the packing material we send them in our cartons. The ‘stuff” which we make by shredding paper, cardboard, and various bits of packing would previously have been dumped, but now makes excellent packing for orders.  

This packing is then used by Mitcham Library library staff for children to fill/stuff puppets at playtime in the library.

‘And the beat goes on….!’ As was blogged previously, a simple thought process, followed by a simple action from us has produced flow-on impact and positive feedback from libraries throughout Australia.

If you have any thoughts or examples like Lainie’s, please let us know on Twitter @soundpack, or email jeff.baldock@soundpack.com.au

Single & double Blu-ray cases – yeh we knew some of our clients would want them; but not sure we’d ever need Blu-ray Triple & Quad cases…. well, of course they are wanted! Models BR-003 & BR-004 are now available. (We’ll let you decipher our intricate model coding system to work out which is a triple & which is a quad!). They’re not in our latest Catalogue Editon 15, but are now in stock. Same price as BR-001 and BR-002
