ravenlures Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Trouble with packing large lures for retail 12" to 15" long any ideas I have looked around but nothing can come with that size. I have looked at cylinders that might work. Any thoughts. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayburnGuy Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Cardboard tubes sounds like a good idea to me. You could cut them to any length needed on a bandsaw. Ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenlures Posted March 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Need something clear for retail, but I like the one Badhatharry that will be good for shipping from home but clear for retail is pretty pricy when you get into the bigger sizes. 12" and up. So far the cheapest is a plastic bag with card on top or a simple blister with card, most become custom that means having a mold made. But thanks I just might have to either adjust the size of the lure or maybe make my own blister which I know there are some homemade blister makers on you tube, hope I don't burn down the house but then!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillbilly voodoo Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 To keep it cost effective and time efficient you don’t have many options beyond bags, blisters, or tubes you mentioned. The only other option I can think of is a cardboard box with a clear plastic side I would be interested in what you finally go with because I may be facing this issue in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenlures Posted March 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 This is for the old timers, does anyone remember a book company that had instructions for making all sorts of machinery I thing that it started with a Guiness or something I had several books or booklets. It had in it how to make a blister machine, this is as a last shot. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
