Hi, I am desperately in need of between 50-60 blank notecubes that don't cost a lot of money. I need them for favors for a birthday party and would like to keep my costs as low as possible so ordering them from SU is a little much. Does anyone know where I could find them? I could order a larger quantity if needed to keep costs down. Thank you!
I've heard of people taking reams of paper to their local copy center and having them cut and glued to make note cubes. Sometimes the quality can be iffy, like the sides not being completely even, but there are chains that seem to do good work. I think you get somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 or 8 cubes per ream. I know there have been discussions here in the past, so maybe if you search the forums those threads will turn up. I think Keri (sereikastamper) was one of the folks who was successful in having cubes made, but I'm not sure!

I've read in other threads that people have used this link... http://www.stamponthis.com/SOT-memocube.htm to order the memo cubes and have great luck. I haven't ordered from there so I cannot vouch for them. Hope this helps! Good luck!
I've also had a friend who was able to get some at a dollar store however around here they are hit or miss...
I have had square paper cubes made at Kinko's--it was a long time ago, maybe four or five years ago. They take reams of paper and cut them to your specific size. You purchase the paper and each cut of the ream costs you a specific amount, I don't think they charged for glueing them together.
I thought it was a reasonable price back then. The website a few others have referred you too seems to have cubes at a great price, however I think that shipping may be costly due to the weights of the paper cubes. Kinko's may be a tad more expensive per cube, but you will do your own delivery and most likely save shipping costs.
where are you located? there is a paper store in Brunswick, Ohio that has the note cubes, small ones are about 1.50 and large ones 2.oo something.
it is called Hollo's. hope this will be of some help.

I'm pretty sure that Stamp On This uses the new flat rate Priority Mail boxes where you can send as much as will fit in the box regardless of weight for less than eight dollars. Considering how much blocks of paper can weigh, it's a great bargain!

Yep! I do! I can get 14 pounds of paper (20 cubes) into one of those boxes! Those boxes help me ship paper, cubes, frames, lunchbags, the lot AFFORDABLY! PS--I make the adjustment for postage manually on the invoice and then process the cc.
I have purchased cubes before from Marco's Paper. www.marcopaper.com and from www.papercreations.com I believe we had to call Marco's and ask them their rate and the shipping was kind of high. The quality was very good though. The cost was about $3.00 per cube or less if you ordered more from Marco's. We had several members of our stamp club go together to order.
