Hi, I have just bought some online at www.aid-pack.co.uk

I registered as a new company user using my current employer company details and as a new client they will call me to settle the bill prior to next day delivery and will just use my personal credit or debit card.

bought 5g size satchets (100 of them) for £12.33 + VAT plus £8.95 delivery (£25.01 total).

You can buy them on ebay. That's where we bought ours. Only cost like £5 for 250 of the small ones. There's a lot of variety on there so that's the best place.
Good luck!

You know when you buy a pair of shoes - generally in the box is a couple of small paper satchets with Silica Gel - Do Not Eat printed on them.

This stuff sucks up any moisture etc to prevent damage to shoes/leather and mold forming etc.

Little sister works at warehouse in Norway where she opens large containers of imported goods from China etc and finds lots of them in these - one box came through without them and the jeans where stinking / mouldy and had to be destroyed as not fit for anything.

I have also over the years when ordered shoes from catalogue always picked two sizes (awkward feet!) and send one pair (or both if crap) back - but I always snaffle the satchets and keep them in the blanket box at the bottom of the bed to keep the bedding damp free.

Fabulous stuff! Deffo recommend you put some in your boxes if shipping stuff over.
