Where to find 8'x4' sheets of cardboard

a long time ago we used to keep them on hand in the automotive area, and I’ve also seen them in the machine shop. I would like to buy some cheap cardboard to mock up some things I’m building, but I can’t figure out with a google search where I could find them locally.

Anybody know stores in the area that have 8x4 sheets of card board on the cheap (less than $5 a sheet)?

roughly $36 for 5 sheets.

Or go to the box company at the southernmost end of our warehouse row and ask if it’s something they stock. I think @John_Marlow had looked at their website last fall and confirmed 4x8 sheets of corrugated cardboard was available when we were brainstorming options for a project she was working on

Sorry, best I could find at the time locally was Boxes to Go. $6.

I’m not sure about the local warehouse, but ULINE has them for $3.96 per sheet, 10 sheets minimum.

Machine shop got ours from Staples(IIRC). It was delivered and a big fiasco. Price wise they were good.

Yep, This is where we would get them.

Basically any local cardboard box manufacturers can supply you. Depends on how much space is available for storage. Buying them one at a time is pricey. Uline will sell them as well.

A while ago for the cardboard boat regatta we found large sheets for sale at a Ace Hardware, I don’t know if they still sell them but it’s nice having not bend larger sheets.

I have boxes you can have for free next week if you’re not picky about sizes.
