Question Acetate Sheets

Hi,

Does anyone know of a reasonable source to buy acetate sheets (transparancies)? I checked out some office supply stores, but they cost between $29.99 and $39.99 for a box of 100. I would like to find them cheaper than this.

Thanks,
Debbie

I've decided not all acetate sheets are equal. :(

If you are looking for acetate for a 'clear' card, the transparencies (sp?) for overhead projectors are too thin. Bought some slightly thicker acetate from the copy section in Staples. Don't know where to purchase acetate for card, sorry.

Try looking at Cornish Heritage Farms, GinaK and PTI for acetate sheets to make cards. I think I've seen them there.

Flourishes sell it - it's listed under clear card stock, 10 sheets and reasonable priced. That's the thick stuff, suitable for card bases and boxes and so on.
