I tried out our new sponsor Repackbox a few weeks ago by ordering a sample of 45lc and 357 Mag boxes. 7 days went by (5 business) and I didn't get a shipping notice so I emailed them. The next morning I got a reply saying they dropped the ball but would get it out that day and were throwing in a plastic loading tray of each caliber free of charge. I got a shipping notice that afternoon and 2 days later it was at my door.
Well done, Repackbox!
So, how was the product? The paper the boxes are made of is like poster board but 50% or so thicker being smooth on one side and rougher on the inside part. Comparing it to a standard commercial ammunition box like Remington or Federal shows it to be thicker and more sturdy. Thick enough to reuse the boxes several times. The cuts are very clean with folds where you need to do it clearly visible. The supplied instructions are not really needed but are quite clear on how to do it. If you can put a USPS SFRB together you can put one of these together. The caliber is printed in large black letters with the number of rounds in smaller letters. An empty box underneath the caliber is large enough to write in the load information or use a sticker/masking tape which could be peeled off the smooth paper and replaced.
The loading trays work quite well. Load it up, put the box over the ammo and turn it upside down. Fold the top in and that's it. When the top flap is folded in the box is very secure and with reasonable handling won't pop open. A few pieces of masking tape could hold it tighter for transport if required. These take up quite a bit less space than plastic box's and can be unfolded flat for storage.
This is as great product for ammo storage in your safe or on the shelf and I will be ordering more.
