A photo box is designed to keep flat items flat: loose prints, a set of cards, a slim album or a run of proofs that should not bend or curl. The key measurement is depth, because a box that is too deep lets the stack slide, while one sized to the pile holds everything square and presentable. A little too much depth is worse than too little here, because prints that can slide are prints that curl at the edges over time.
Sizing to the print run
Made to your custom size in cardboard, the box can be built around a standard print format or a bespoke stack. If you sell prints in sets, dimension the internal footprint to the paper size with a little clearance, and set the depth to the number of prints you typically supply.
Lid and finish choices
- Internal depth matched to your print stack
- A lidded format for a tidy, flush close
- Understated outer print so the contents stay the focus
Photographers and studios often keep the outer restrained so the box reads as an archive or presentation piece. Order a sample to check that the lid seats cleanly over a full stack. If you supply prints in more than one size, standardise on two depths that cover your common set counts rather than a box for every order.
