Are there reliability issues with flexihex flap boxes, and does the supplier matter?

Most members report flexihex flap boxes work reliably, but occasional issues do occur—typically depending on where you source them. Since the design was sold, not all boxes are equal in quality.

**Sourcing recommendations:** - **Buy direct from the manufacturer** — members who source directly report the most reliable performance and no issues - **Kite** — reported as working fine with no problems - **Rajapack** — some members have had success, but others report their boxes occasionally need reinforcement; if sourcing here, consider adding tape as backup

**Risk mitigation:** Members recommend using tape on flexihex boxes as a safety measure, even if you haven't experienced failures. Several note they add tape "just to be safe" regardless of source, and some suspect occasional "dud batches" may occur. The added tape cost is minimal compared to the risk of flaps opening in transit or on shelf.
