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
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!

- 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
