The best way to protect and present treasured books and objects is to house them in custom boxes and enclosures. Boxes will be custom fit and personal touches will make them distinct.

Archival materials and methods are used to ensure the book is protected for now and the future. Big River’s boxes are appropriate for everything from  your new wedding album to historic family bible.

Enclosures that can be constructed include:

Drop Spine Boxes (Clam Shell Boxes)
Four-flap Enclosures
