The North Pole Box Company Tin Soldier Box is on spotlight this week. We will spotlight one of our five boxes each week until Christmas. Yes that means Christmas is five weeks away! We are very excited.
The Tin Soldier Box was one of the first boxes ever made at Perfect Register. Devin Duckett began designing a Christmas box as a promotional piece and Christmas gift in 1997. Devin designed the Tin Soldier Box in 1998. This box has very simple artwork, but its simplicity makes it very striking. The classic tin soldier toy is a Christmas tradition.
All the production of our Tin Soldier Box happens in-house at Perfect Register. The Tin Soldier starts out as blank paper. The first step is foil stamping. We use a custom copper die with the Tin Soldier artwork to stamp metallic foil onto the paper. The die is mounted onto our Brausse 1050 SEF foil stamping press. We heat the die to over 250 degrees and stamp red, silver, or gold metallic foil onto the blank white paper. This creates the shiny design on the front of the Tin Soldier Box.
The next step is die-cutting. We create a custom die-cutting die with the shape of the nutcracker box. A die-cut die is made from wood and steel rule. Sharp rule creates cuts in the paper, and blunt scoring rule makes folds. Perfect Register crafts die-cutting dies by hand. Our Heidelberg cylinder press presses the paper against the die to cut out the Tin Soldier. After the extra paper is removed, the box is ready for gluing.
After die-cutting, the Tin Soldiers are glued and folded. Liquid glue helps the boxes stay glued permanently. We bundle the boxes and ship them to you!
The Tin Soldier Box is sold in gold, silver, and red. It is the perfect home for some homemade cookies, caramels, or nuts. This box is elegant and a fantastic value. You can buy a Tin Soldier Box for less than a fancy Christmas Card. Order yours today!
