Bought these as a giveaway at a corporate technical event. This company was very good about helping me decide which of the "slinkies" would be most appropriate considering my tight timeline, and helped me with the graphics. I received them before needed, but they were not packaged in individual boxes as was described on the website - instead, they were packaged in shrink wrap. Also, when I played with one for about an hour at my desk, I noticed that the ink was coming off on my hands. I contacted this company. They apologized for the situation and determined that the vendor does not provide boxes anymore. This company had the order reprinted and sent to me by overnight express, in time for my 7:30am event. I have not used the reprinted slinkies, so can't comment on the durability of the ink. This company's service was terrific. Final note, although one is allowed to print text in small font, when the slinkie expands, the text comes apart and it's hard to read when it comes back together. Stick to large font, as in the sample.
