Packing Slips / Notes

Some folk like to include a note in their packages. Here are some that people have shared:

As a 2-up PDF: generic_whistle_insert_2up.pdf

Here's an insert that has spaces for the amount, the URL to the model page, and a QR code to the model page. If you use this, be sure to update the links and QR code for the whistle you are using: WhistleProjectInsert.doc

Here is a thank-you card you could include:

Supplies

  • Reuse what you can! The smaller Amazon boxes and padded mailers are great for shipments of a couple hundred
  • Save brown void fill paper and bubble wrap from misc packages to help fill any voids in your boxes!

Packing

Bitonal whistles are the most commonly printed so it has become an informal unit of measure.

  • Group whistles in ziploc bags to reduce jostling, snack size can fit 50 bitonal, quart size can fit 250 bitonal
  • 150 modified 38mm bitonal micro whistles fits snugly in a 6x4x2 box
  • 200 bitonal micro whistles is the max that fits in a 6×9 padded envelope
  • 500 bitonal micro whistles fits in a 8x6x4 box or in a standard 1kg filament box.
  • 2000 bitonal micro whistles (divided into in 8 quart sized bags) fit in a 12x9x6 box perfectly
