I have several of the bank supplies carriers. They are exceptional.Off the top of my head I would say Amazon and Brybelly but the last 2 I ordered from them both came with cracks in the plastic. Spinettis and Apache typically have inventory to suit your needs.
If you’re looking for a serious carrier this is what I use now, especially for sets that have a lot of 43mm.

No they’re not gone but you will have to find a specific sale and what you get may not be intact is all I’m saying. My 2 broken but still usable ones were like $50 each somehow… I found out how. Had to glue the cracked black plastic on the corners back on each of the two.Thank you so much I guess the days of 70$ carries are gone!
I think the clear acrylic birdcages are best for closet-to-table. I have both the 600 and 1,000 versa cases, and they’re perfect for light transport, like in the trunk of your car.If you're not displaying them I'd suggest these Versa cases. Come in 600 ($60) & 1000 ($80).

I'm working on a prototype of a replacement carrier base and handle made out of dibond aka alupanel. It's an aluminum composite material that's 1/4" thick. I plan to layer a few together for the handle and base to replace existing models. This is not a whole new birdcage, but rather something to replace the part that's most often broken which is the base plate and handle part.
Are you able to put less chips than the max in one of these? Would say 800 chips be ok in a 1000 chip birdcage or does it need to be full capacity to keep somewhat stable?If you're not displaying them I'd suggest these Versa cases. Come in 600 ($60) & 1000 ($80).

i realize you've specifically mentioned birdcages, but an Apache4800 case will fit 1600 chips •easily• though it'll be hefty ... you can "up the game" by creating a custom foam insert for the case from MyCaseBuilder.comIs there any where to get 600 and 1000 piece birdcages? Looking for sturdy non breakable cages with 1K chips inside. Please let me know your thoughts.
You can do less. I have 500 chips in one of my cages. You CAN have all 500 on one side and it's fine, but it's more pleasant to carry when you even out the weight so I usually have 300 on one side and 200 on the other.Are you able to put less chips than the max in one of these?

Aren’t these shorter than expected? I remember reading someone say they weren’t able to completely close the acrylic lid when filled with 1000 chipsIf you’re looking for a serious carrier this is what I use now, especially for sets that have a lot of 43mm.

You’re not incorrect. It fits 10 racks of 39mm cleanly but if even one of the racks in a 5 stack is 43mm the lid doesn’t close completely.Aren’t these shorter than expected? I remember reading someone say they weren’t able to completely close the acrylic lid when filled with 1000 chips
oh that's not too bad. I remember a member here wasn't happy they didn't fit the advertised amount of chips.You’re not incorrect. It fits 10 racks of 39mm cleanly but if even one of the racks in a 5 stack is 43mm the lid doesn’t close completely.
