Cube Packs?

I built my first Cube, Its a simple Pauper Cube of what I have. I wanted to know is there a way to Sleeve my cube then put them into "packs". Do they sell some sort of packs to crack for Cube?
Seems like more effort than it's worth. It's already a pain in the ass to shuffle and make packs for cube, this just adds extra work to the process

A really good question, though. I'm getting closer to finishing my Conspiracy cube and I'm starting to wonder about "packs." I'd like to be able to have some way to package them, but I don't know of any product that would fit the bill. Strange that there aren't Cube Packs or something like them on the market, especially so when you consider how many other types of MTG accessories are available.
Does anybody know of anything other than a little plastic bag (the kind that KMC sleeves are packaged in, for instance) that will do the job?

My friend's way of doing this is to use a lot of plastic baggies. I hate it, personally and am sure there has to be a better way of doing it.
xlaleclx If you don't use packs, what do you use/How do you distribute and draft cards from the cube?

I'm thinking strips of paper wrapped around the 15 cards and taped shut would work pretty well, although there's no 'opening' to them

Get really good at origami and make your own boxes that open and close with a flap. Then attach velcro straps to the flap and box and BANG, you've got yourself what is likely to not last too long and probably not worth the effort a box good for hopefully one entire game of cube.

Why not just make stacks of 15 cards? I've never seen anyone go through the the extra process of packaging cube packs just so they can then unwrap them. I guess that's a thing people do?

Go to the bank and ask for a stack of the wraps that go around stacks of bills. They have a tiny adhesive part that will allow you to wrap it securely around the cards. If the bank wont let you have any for free you could probably pick these up at a walmart/target/wherever in the office supplies or hobby section.

I like the idea of packs because it just feels like itd be easier to distribute then having to separate piles of cards. The money wraps seem like a good idea though. Its more of a sorting method I guess.

I'm currently making cube packs at the moment. Finalizing my design.
They are Nyx purple, with Tarmogoyf, Mother of Runes, Splinter Twin, Clique, Phyrexian Oblit or Wurmcoil on the front. On the back, little blurb of what kinda cards are in, archetypes etc.

There are packages made of clear plastic with a flap with adhesive on the end that works great for a cube that my friend has. I've seen them used in wrapping toploaders for shipping as well
