ordering boxes in Bangsan Sijang Market, Seoul

Bangsan Sijang and Chungmuro are 2 amazing places in Seoul .. a heaven for book makers.
Streets full of paper and card board suppliers, small printers, manufacturers of boxes, and sellers of stationery items of all kinds, from tapes to rubberbands.
Everything you look for you will find here.

In this shop we ordered 500 boxes for our new " Fluxus assembling box" project.
The small shop on the left is where we always order craft paper and card board for book binding.

Today the boxes were delivered by motorcycle at home. we packed them to be sent to Ireland, a few boxes by air mail and the rest by boat.
