boxy, but safe

Photographers are always on the lookout for proof boxes, and these were recently shared on Flickr. The “Semikolon; Photo Box” can hold up to 5×7 proofs (or even birth announcements or holiday cards).

“An exterior window displays a favorite photo, while the interior holds photos, stationery or greeting cards. It also includes a coordinating grosgrain loop for easy opening and an interior band to hold the lid open.”

And best of all, right now they’re on sale at the Container Store for $8.99! You can choose from a larger color selection at jennibick.com. Sam Flax has several colors on sale for $10 as well.

You can even hunt for matching frames and accordion albums.
