Status: offline 		Hi everbody,

I'm living in Europe and over here there is no way to get coroplast. But I think I like those SPADS. I really want to build a Pizza Box and the most important material is coroplast. Its strong flexible and not too heavy. Is there a good alternative for coroplast ?

Thanks in advance

It's was way too cool at that. And extremely light. Just not as impact resistant.
