Where do I get Syringe Caps?

I was wondering where I can get those little caps that some of the vendors like Ralph use on their syringes to keep the fluid from leaking during shipping. I found a couple of places online, but they want something like $2.75 for 10 of them

I'm going to bump this because I've also been looking. The few caps I had allowed me to send filled syringes and send an unopened sterile needle along too. Those caps are tiny, yet every place I've seen them they're more expensive than the syringes themselves.

Terumo syringes come with that cap.
Why do you need them?
I have several hundred of those caps sitting in a jar.

dude, i don't even recomend using syringe caps. making one out of heavy duty Al foil works SO much better. I just wrap a piece of foil around the needle and bend a little over the top so it doesn't poke through. The way to sterilize is fill the foil cover with alcohol, and put it on the syringe. let sit for 35 seconds and voila! this works incredibly well for me, i wish vendors sold their syringes like this. hope i helped!

For trades and long term storage. I frequently send and receive syringes that lose spore solution during shipping. I keep my syringes in the fridge and my wife has a tendency to pile stuff on top of them or push things into them and that causes them to expell spore solution also.

I'm not sure I'm following you. You're telling me the foil will keep the spore solution in the syringe without a needle during shipping?

This is cool, I have thought about this,
I was going to try something like a popsicle stick,
Break it to the length and place it between the plunger and the syringe?
