Questions

What is the smallest order?

100 large matchboxes. Up to 500 can be ordered here; 750 and 1,000 are quoted by the studio.

What does £12 a box include?

A large matchbox of about twelve centimetres with wooden matches in your choice of eight head colours, your artwork printed in colour or the box left blank, a digital proof and standard delivery.

What do foil, letterpress and the premium paper add?

Foil adds £2 a box and letterpress £4 a box. The premium textured paper adds £2.50 a box. A drawing by the studio is charged once for the design, never per box.

Can it be another size, or covered in linen, wood or ceramic?

Yes, by commission. Tick it under Other finishes and the studio replies with a quote. Nothing is paid until you accept it.

Do you send outside the United Kingdom?

Yes, we deliver worldwide with tracking by DHL, UPS or FedEx. In the UK the price is delivered to your door, and for the United States US import duties are included as well; elsewhere any customs duties or import taxes are paid by the recipient.

“I couldn’t be happier with my order. The matches arrived and they are absolutely stunning, truly beyond my expectations. Every detail has clearly been considered with great care, including the packaging, which was extremely refined and beautifully presented. The entire process was smooth from start to finish, with excellent communication and genuine care for both the product and the customer.”
