More Cool Foam Stuff

The guys in MadeInHollywood have come up with yet another cool concept.

Remember when we had a few Microsoft mugs to give away? Well one of the problems we ran into was that the mugs weren’t packed ie. no boxes or anything, so shipping them was a problem.

  2. Promotes our brand

I’ve taken several photos of the packages which are now on Flickr, but here’s a couple to whet your appetite:
