containers for Expos???

TSUSnakeGuy Sep 24, 2010 03:17 PM

Ok I am planning on doing my first expo next month. I have redtails, corns and balls for sale. I have been looking at deli cups online, I cant find any near me that will work. The ones online seem a little expensive to order. I was wondering if anyone has ever used anything else at shows to show animals in and sell them in? I could use any advice to help save a little money.

I lucked out that our town has a local industrial/restaurant supply company that is public sales also. I bought a open / partial box of real deli cups. Then I melted holes with my soldering iron. The guy even had some odd sized ones and gave them to me to clear off a shelf. I would look in the yellow pages.

not sure where you looked but ReptilesExpress.com has good prices, I think. So does Superiorshippingsupplies.com. The trick is too order them well in advance so you don't have to pay extra for express shipping.

I have to agree with you.I personally like Superior and have always gotten my order quicker than expected! Jeff

If not mistaken, Superior sells them pre punched with airholes too. Plus the Superior lids are super clear. Some of the restaurant supply cup lids may not be as clear as the Superior brand.

Yep you can get them pre-punched for just pennies extra each!
