Where to buy very small size enclosures for a circuit with 1 PIC?

[John Waters]

Hi All, Does anyone know where to buy some very small enclosures? It is for holding a circuit with practically just a PIC inside, so it could be very very small. The enclosure preferrablly has some way to open up easily for changing battery. In fact, since the circuit is so small, I'm thinking of doing away an enclosure. Does anyone get an idea how to hold a circuit without using an enclosure? Thanks in advance!

When I run across another enclosure supplier I add them to my list:

Some of them have small enclosures.

Sometimes all that's needed is a bit of heatshrink around the circuit
- would make battery changing more difficult though.

Pill box or bottle from the drug store?

Go down to your local supermarket and buy an Altoids tin and use it to
house your project. You can even buy athese tins on eBay. I have done
this and they make excellent project boxes. Enjoy the mints while you
work on you project.

Exactly that what I was about to say, actually with Tic-Tac, but not sure if
that one is existing in US or not? :-) Not sure  which battery would fit in
that one though.

Why not just put the circuit on a 1/2" x 1/2" PCB, attach flying leads, then
dip the PCB in
a can of Plasti-Dip? The coating is incredibly rugged.

I have often used the little tin boxes that altoid products come in, There
are several sizes available whereever candy products are sold. I have even
bought Altoid MintsTins in groups of 15 on eBay
