From my small UK workshop, I make custom display cases to protect and showcase what matters to you
I’m Kevin, the maker behind BoxMintUK.
My journey into crafting display cases began during Covid. At the time I was self-employed in the tech world, but like many people, the pandemic turned life upside down. I even had to part with much of my antiques collection, including many steam engines I loved.
It made me realise something: I had owned so many beautiful pieces, yet most had spent years wrapped in newspaper and stored in boxes. My dad collected things too, and my mum used to call them “dust collectors.” She wasn’t wrong, but I knew that if they’d been left out on display, they would have lost the pristine condition that made them special.
That thought stayed with me. I wanted a way to display and protect treasures at the same time and I wondered if others felt the same. So I invested in tools and materials, built my first display case, and listed it on Etsy in March 2022. Just three days later, my first order came in. That moment gave me hope and set me on a new path.
Today, I handcraft each display case in my small UK workshop using oak and high-quality acrylic. Whether it’s to showcase antiques, collectibles, artwork, handmade crafts, memorabilia, or treasured keepsakes, each piece is made with care and attention to detail.
As a one-person business, I truly value every order. My goal is simple: to give your treasures the display they deserve, with a personal service you can trust.
