I ship flies in in bank check-boxes. Glue a piece of thin styrofoam to the bottom and it becomes a cheap fly box.
Get a bunch of these and have a cheap supply of back-up boxes for your spares, collectibles, models, swap-flies, etc. (flies you don't intend to take fishing) Thay way they don't take up room in your fishing boxes. Use white tape on the outsides (or white labels) to write on the box what's within. Old plastic VCR boxes also make good spare fly boxes- same way, with sty. glued to the bottom.

It occurred to me that I needed to protect them in transit and so I found an old cheap fly box that I can live without. If this gets to be a habit I don't want to buy cheap fly boxes. For those of you that mail out dry flies routinely, what do you use that is cheap and disposable to protect them in transit?
