Commissions
A commissioned piece is the most personal sale in this trade. The box is opened once, by someone who has been thinking about it for weeks.
Most benches want a single good box for this rather than a range — something that suits everything they make, in their own colour, with their name on it.
Repairs and remakes
A repair goes back in something. A branded box for repairs costs more than a pouch, and it is the cheapest advertising a bench buys — the customer keeps it.
A simple rigid box in the house colour, without a fitted interior, does this job.
Pieces that do not fit a standard interior
Bench work is one-off by definition. A stock interior will not fit half of it.
Where a box has to take whatever comes off the bench, a plain pad and a generous cavity beats a fitted seat cut for one shape.
Small runs
A single bench does not need a thousand boxes. Quantities are agreed per project and we will say what is workable when you tell us what you have in mind.

Frequently asked questions
Do you supply single benches as well as retailers?
Yes. Quantities are agreed per project.
What box suits one-off commission work?
A generous cavity with a pad rather than a seat cut to one shape — bench work varies too much for a fitted interior.
Is a branded box worth it for repairs?
It is the cheapest advertising a bench buys, because the customer keeps it.
Can you make one box that suits everything I make?
Usually, with a plain pad interior. A fitted interior is where a single box stops being universal.
