First shipping batch almost complete!

A bit of a production update on the Kakapo. The first production batch of 16 boards has been completed, and are ready to pack and ship off to nicegear. There is also now a product page up so you can register to buy one before they arrive.

The next task is the final boxing. I had originally planned to use a set of black boxes with a sleeve, but they are quite large. They fit the boards plus the USB cable just fine, but I have been thinking about a more compact box.

Playing around in Inkscape with a flat-box design and cutting from 160gsm card stock, I think I've come up with a nice compact box which is large enough for the board (in a bubble anti-static bag) and USB cable.

Now the question is, figuring out how to get lots of them made cheaply and easily. Hand-cut is fine for a prototype but it definitely won't scale.
