Having acquired some CD-Rs on a spindle, I now want some paper or 
plastic wallets (not Jewel cases) to keep/ post them in. You'd think 
that they would be easy to find, but Dixons, PCWorld, WH Smith and 
several on-line retailers have all come up blank; one reason perhaps 
being that they might go under more than one name (wallets, covers, 
etc.)

Any ideas?

I bought a spindle of CD-Rs and 100 cardboard CD Sleeves (and a bunch of
other assorted useful CD-R related stuff) from http://www.121cdr.co.uk/.

Nice prices too, IME.

I've been looking for ages without success. However I do still have
several tens from old 80's and 90's cover disks that I kept (after
slinging the CD's).

I get mine from Office World - cheapest blanks  CDs I know of 30 odd quid a 
hundred, and the sleeves are sort of paper with plastic liner and circular 
transparent bit - bar code 4902030165116- They aren't parked very 
ovbviously, I had to ask the lady. I find them very satisfactory, but they 
haven't got the fold-over envelopey flap

I just ordered some from SVP Communications at www.121cdr.co.uk. Each 
holds 24 cds or you can get larger ones. The 2 size are 2.54ukp. Look 
under CD Storage.

Yes, I use them to distribute notebashing aids for a choir, no reports of 
any not playing and no failures (apart from software crashes till I got it 
grrrripppped)

Maplin Electronics do paper, plastic and many more types of cases. Page 
390 of current catalogue.

Eg. 100 plastic wallets, part number ZN60Q, �7.99 incl VAT.

Hi Andy,

I bought a couple of batches of 100 PVC wallets from a company called HCP
based in Harrow.  Telephone is 0800 0 345 543.  They cost about �8.50 per
hundred inc VAT, but might have gone up since then.  You can order over the
phone with a Credit Card. They also do a stackable drawer unit which I keep
all my CDs (music and s/w) in as I ditch the jewel cases.  They take up too
much room with the number I have.

cheers, Mike
