Presentation boxes

[Graham_C]

I'm sure this has been covered before, but I wonder what presentation boxes people use for their "nicer" pens - especially fountain and roller-ball pens?

After a trawl around the major UK suppliers, I am really stuck for a nice box to hold the pair of Mistrals I made. A call to one left me dumbfounded - they said that they were unable to help because they didn't supply the kit

I'd really appreciate your thoughts folks

Turners Retreat do a good hinged velvet double case. I think the catalogue number is P12 from memory.

I like the double velvet it makes a terrific presentation.

I bought a few from Timberbits, not in UK but when they arrive they wont be deep frozen.

I use the black velvet one from turners retreat for slimlines, epsilons zetas and the redwood or flip wooden ones for more expensive pens.

Thanks Phil, I'll take a look.

Thanks Stephen. The flip box arrived today, the slot is too narrow for the roller-ball and fountain pen - like many others :frown:

Must keep looking

Being realistic that's probably why whoever it was said they couldn't help said so rather than sell you an unsuitable box, presumably because they had no knowledge or information of the kits. personally I think that's the sign of an honest dealer and I'd quite respect that.

The pens will go into a double velvet box though 'cos that's where I put mine. Alternatively the cardboard craft boxes used by Walter and others are a solution (Tiny Box Co).

Perhaps Phil should consider selling display boxes to suit his kits if there's a need?

Wasn't there some one on this forum, a while ago that started to make there own timber boxes?
