Leclerc. Caution : the Pattex 100% has a fairly short shelf life, even if it has not been started; the manufacturer gives 1 year. So don’t stock up.
These boxes were easily found in supermarkets 10 years ago. They have been replaced by low-end products that deteriorate in no time, and that have useful dimensions often a little smaller. Unfortunately, these genuine Unibox boxes are increasingly difficult to find on the web. Attention: the new models, found at Fonq’s for example, don’t have the same interior dimensions: 395 × 305 × 245 instead of 400 × 320 × 220. The classic models are under the references 67307 to 67310, depending on the colour (not very funny, these colours!). I recently saw some at Leclerc’s.
Unibox Classic boxes are easy to find these days. Here are some addresses and prices.
