Flag display boxes

We make custom display and shadow boxes for flags, too. We can make them for smaller 3' x 2' flags that have been ceremoniously flown on flagpoles up to 5' or 6' x 9' casket/burial flags.

On the left is a shadow box we did for a local business. The flag had been flown in front of the business on the grand opening day. We also mounted pictures and an engraved plate for the customer.

Below, to the right, is an oak flag box which holds just the flag. On the front there is space for an engraved plate. The one shown is 3" x 1", which will hold up to 3 lines of text.
Flags can be of huge ceremonial or emotional value to our customers, as well as being a national symbol for our country. We believe they should be treated with respect and well care for...

With a flag box from ShadowBoxUSA.com, you can do both!

10.23.2010 "Only" 61 pieces!

This week I gave an estimate to a guy who is retiring from a fire dept in Texas. He has been in the fire service for 36 years! He has 8 badges and numerous patches, pins and helmet shields - 61 pieces in all! The box will be very large, but I think it will be impressive in that it represents a very long career.

He called me the other day with a lot of questions and ended the conversation by saying he would send me all the items with an order form. Stand by for pictures of this one, although it will probably be 3-4 weeks before its finished.

This week we also received an order from the Campbell Police Dept in Calif. It will be a retirement gift with several badges, pins, etc. Instead of mounting an engraved plate on the inside of the box, we'll be having the glass engraved. I expect this one to be very classy looking. One interesting thing is that instead of using velveteen on the backing, he requested that we use fabric from one of his dark blue uniform shirts. He also wanted a portion of the yellow striping from his pants in the shadow box. In addition, to being creative, I think this will look great. I'll post a picture of this one, too.

10.19.2010 Petaluma FD, Santa Barbara City FD

. This week we shipped some shadow boxes to a couple fire departments in California. We want to thank George Martinez of Santa Barbara City FD. Representing the union, he orders retirement gifts from us. We put together a shadow box that includes a badge, an engraved plate and a helmet shield. The leather helmet chields are made by a retired SBCFD firefighter who now lives in Florida. The shields are sent to us and we order an engraved plate with the wording they want.  We then mount everything and send the completed box to them.

We also put together a rush order for recent recruits of the Petaluma Fire Dept. Their training academy is only 3 weeks, so their gift to the dept thanking their training cadre had to be done quickly. It's pretty simple, but conveys the sentiment perfectly. The engraved plate thanks the dept and the training officers and lists the class members names.

Remember, if you are looking for a unique gift for Christmas or for a firefighter or police officer retirement, contact us and we'll help you design something personal and unique.

A slice of history... in a shadow box.

We recently completed three shadow boxes for the Josephine County Historical Society (JCHS). These were used as prizes in a contest they held over the summer. Here are pictures of two of those boxes.

The first picture shows the oak frame shadow box that was used for some Josephine County/Grants Pass historical items from local businesses. The second photo is the shadow box that holds a patch collection from local law enforcement agencies. Each item was mounted on a custom-cut piece of acrylic which lifts the items off the back of the box and provides some dimension.

Shadow boxes make great gifts and can also be used as awards or prizes. See more photos at
