We start with a large piece of grey board, rolls of material and from there, it's individually custom made to your requirements.
The sides of our boxes are made from laminating together two pieces 2mm board to make a 4mm thick wall. These are then step jointed in the corners for extra strength. Then just to make sure, we do the same again for the inner wall.
All this effort is partly down to traditional box making techniques, but mainly, it is because this is how you make the strongest possible box.
- Classic Clamshell Box. Also known as a Solander Box, the job of a clamshell box is to keep its contents safe and undamaged. The two trays fold snuggly into each other providing double thick walls.
