Okay, this is a kind of odd request...

    Hello people,
    Okay, sorry if this sounds a little odd.
    But, being in the insects business, I am always looking for jars, and tubs to house insects. I came across a website which was PERFECT, selling crates of hexagonal plastic screw on lid jars. Just what I was looking for, but upon request, they tell me they have sold out...and won't be getting any in for a long time!
    So, I would like to make a request on some kind of industrial, or packaging forum to see where I can buy some of these, from other sources.
    If anyone knows any good forums like this, please let me know!
    Or, if you know where to get some of these Hexagonal plastic jars, also, let me know ;)
    Thanks in advance.

    Oh god, not Alibaba. I have already lost over £400 last year on this website from scammers!
    However...it is a good idea, didn't think of looking on there again.
    Maybe I can find a reputable supplier.
    Thank ichigo.
    Any more idea anyone?

    gosh, i got no suggestions for insect vials and packaging for you..
    do you study them at school, or this is just a hobby?

    Thanks for all the reply guys :D
    I actually do it as a hobby, and a money spinner (had an interview with working lunch last week, you can download it off the BBC working lunch website if you search for "bug business").
    The idea behind these tubs is to stack them, thus making the most of the space I have got.
    Sundaybrew, I have tried ebay, but they are a little to expensive. Or, maybe it was just the tubs I saw at 42p each were just so crazily dam cheap!!!
