Boxes FAQ

How are AArora ShowCase boxes different from other keepsake box options?

Every single one of our boxes is handcrafted by a skilled artisan in the United States, there is no mass manufacturing. The boxes are highly customizable, accommodating virtually any size of album and mementos. Beyond their unique one-of-a-kind beauty, each box offers superior protection from humidity and moisture by incorporating Dri-box technology. Your memories will also be protected by the special super dense, jet black, closed-cell conductive foam which lines the interiors. This premium material is archival, acid-free and absorbs static electricity, a combination creating an environment that ensures your memories are preserved not only for your enjoyment but for the enjoyment of generations to come.

May I customize my box?

Yes! Each of our four collections offer its own distinctive characteristics and may be customized to accommodate virtually any size album. Customization options include a wide variety of natural hardwoods, finishes, and the addition of artisan flourishes. Our Transformation Collection takes it a step further by incorporating artistically enhanced images using encaustic, pyrography, and other innovative photo adaptation and transfer techniques. Momentos may be accommodated as well, such as adding Champagne glasses, a flash drive, compact disc, program, and more. Our special foam may be molded and cut to fit a wide range of extra momentos.
