Bespoke boxmaking and slipcases
Book boxes, made to measure
Drop-back boxes, also known as clam-shell or ‘Solander’ boxes, are a popular way of storing important archives and other delicate items such as books in dust-jackets.
Our bespoke range of boxes can be made in a wide range of materials and sizes. See the traditional styles below, our decorative boxes, and standard size archive boxes.
