ELECTRONIC STATEMENTS
Last month was our first to send out electronic statements. Many of you were very excited about this new capability which will allow us to get information to you in a more timely fashion. If you would like to receive your statements via the internet, please contact George Schinler @ 512-836-7644 and he can set up your account. This will also allow you to look at your purchase history, order online, pay bills and have access to all of your pricing. However, if you would still like to receive your statements by mail or fax, please contact Abby Blank @ 512-836-7644 and we will be glad to make the change.
NEW PRODUCTS
You asked for it, you got it. By popular demand, we are now carrying poly bubble mailers. These mailers are the same size as normal kraft bubble mailers. However they are lined with plastic which makes them much more tear resistant and waterproof. They can also be written on with a permanent marker. We will be carrying the 0,00,000,1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 sizes.
If you have any questions about pricing or would like a sample, please give us a call @ 512-836-7644. You can also check your pricing online.
USED LAPTOP BOXES/PICTURE BOXES
We recently purchased used laptop boxes. These boxes are in fantastic shape. They have almost no writing or markings. The boxes are 28 x 5 x 21 and come with anti static foam inserts. They also have locking tabs to secure the box. I recently used one to ship a laptop to New York and the box worked great. They can also be used to ship framed pictures and mirrors. These are priced at $5.00 per box. Most of them also come with a static shielding bag to put the laptop in. I only have about 20 of them left so they will go fast.
We greatly appreciate your continued business,

ECONO BOX BREAKS 500,000 USED BOX MARK
AUSTIN, Texas – February 2, 2007 – Econo Box Company, Austin, Texas’ leading supplier of used and new moving boxes announced they have passed the half million mark in used box sales. “I remember when I was a little kid riding in my parents’ car and driving by McDonald's and seeing the sign that showed how many customers they served. I think that it was somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000,000 customers served. In the same tradition of keeping track of numbers, we are proud to announce that we have now sold more than 500,000 used moving boxes since opening in 1994,” said Mark Wright, Econo Box General Manager.
When Econo Box was started in 1994, used boxes were all they did. As customer needs grew, they started selling new moving boxes to meet the demand. They have expanded to carry a full line of stock boxes and packing supplies, creating one-stop shopping at affordable prices. However, they still buy and sell used moving boxes and always will.
“Five hundred thousand boxes. That is a lot of cardboard. If an average moving box weighs three pounds, that would be 1,500,000 pounds of cardboard or 750 tons of used moving boxes that didn’t go into landfills. As we continue on into 2007, our priority will continue to be to give our customers the best value possible. It took us ten years to get to the half a million mark. Our goal is to become the McDonald's of used boxes. Billions and Billions saved,” said Wright.
With three locations, 2212 Rutland Drive, 5400 Brodie Lane, Ste. 220, and 115 Sundance Parkway, Ste. 300 in Round Rock, a home for your used moving boxes is just a short drive or phone call away. At Econo Box, a box is a terrible thing to waste.

JANUARY 2007
HAPPY NEW YEAR
We would like to wish all of our customers a very happy and prosperous New Year. Hopefully 2006 was filled with success and 2007 will be even better. While the recent ice storm caused us all to miss a few days, we are glad to be back to normal.

VOLUME BASED PRICING
On recent invoices, some of you may have noticed lower prices that what is advertised on our current price lists. The reason for this is we have added volume based pricing beyond our regular less than and bundle pricing for our customers. As of yet, we are not able to print out a list of the volume breaks and discounts. However, the prices are available on our new website, or you can just call us and we will be happy to go over where the breaks would be and what the discounts are. We are able to offer this new volume based pricing because of a new software capability and most importantly, our commitment of providing you the most competitive pricing.
NEW PRODUCTS
In the past, we carried the Instapak expandable in-place foam. We sold the packets individually to customers. However, the problem with this was that the had to be activated with a special heating element. We now have found the Instapak foam bags that do not need to be heated. These new bags can be activated at room temperature. We will be selling these bags individually. The sizes of the bags are:
10x10x10
12x12x12
18x12x12
The bags provide the same protection as the heated bags without the warming time. The bags work best in a temperature between 65 and 90 degrees.
If you would like to see a demonstration of the Instapak foam, please go to the following link.
