Production Package - Sourcing the box

The box was rather difficult to find, as we wanted one that would fit our package quite well. A dark coloured, rusty old box, which would look like it would house a rather old ancient book. We checked every where for one, going on websites such as eBay and Gumtree, and we found many that looked appealing, however they were either too expensive, or collection only thus quite far away. We found that quite often they were also too small to house everything we intended in, or in fact too large.

However, looking in an antics shop in Maidstone, Trash or Treasure, we came across an old 1940's WWII medical chest. It was rusted and worn down, and looked perfect. The only problem with it was it was white, with a large red cross on the front and back. This is why we bought black spray paint, and after giving it a couple of layers, I managed to completely remove the crosses from it, yet at the same time keeping it with its old rusty look and feel. It fits our piece perfectly and is the perfect size and item to present our package in. Here is the finished painted box.
