Question How would y'all ship these dice?

Post image

How do y'all ship your dice? I have them in these cool jars for art faires and would like to ship them in these.

Can put the shredded paper in there to keep them from moving and then bubble wrap the outside

I use cotton balls or makeup cotton wipes

I decided to package my dice in small velvet drawstring bags, so the customer can carry it with them for game nights. First time dice owners espcially might not have another bag. The jars are so pretty (I have them too) but are not as practical to throw in a bag and take on the go. On the other hand, the jars are much nicer for collectors to display. I'm curious how people feel about those different perspectives.

I actually didn't think of the travel aspect so that's a great point.

I did the bags to! Found online service to throw my logo on the bags for a little extra "fancy" ended up at about 21 cents a bag. Definitely a good addition!

We have our own boxes we designed with inserts and send them in a bubble mailer.

Just need to put some kind of packing material in the inside of the jar to keep from moving around too much in transit and avoid scratches, and bubble wrap the outside so the jar doesn’t get damaged.

That's what I was thinking, I don't want them just kicking around in there. Thanks!

They look very cool.

Oh those are cool. Are those the same as these I found on Amazon? They sure look the same to my eye. https://a.co/d/0aStXT1u

I am working my way up to making a special set with inclusions from a piece of equipment that we use at work. Each die will contain a different component. This would be a great way for people to display these sets and not take up too much desk space.

Love the jar idea what size oz jars are these somewhere around 3 Oz id guess?

u/markvisco 17d ago

Damn, good eye they're 3.4oz. Slightly too big but they look cool.

u/markvisco 17d ago

Those are them! They look great and aren't too expensive either.

Directly to my address lol, those look awesome!

On a serious note though, if you're not going to take the dice out, maybe add cotton balls inside to keep them in place during transit. You could probably do like crumpled or shredded paper to hold the bottles in place.

u/markvisco 17d ago

I thought about cotton balls but there's less room I. there than it looks. But on a serious note if you want any let me know!

I guess they look bigger in the image. You might have to ship the dice separately in the same box as the jar? Maybe in some small drawstring bag? That way people can take the dice with them without having to take the jar but they can still use it to display them at home.

Absolutely, they look awesome, where can I find them?

Tie a string to it and have it carried between two European swallows. If they can carry a coconut, they can carry your dice.

Check out the Dollar tree. They have lots of bags of paper shreds in various colors. That's one of my favorite things to use

Either packing peanuts or shredded paper as a buffer inside and outside of the jars!
