Thread: Box for medal collector

Very nice .... what hinges are they please

They are the 6mm x 35mm strap hinges from Boxmakers Brassware. $40 + postage for five pairs.

Nice work Alex - I like how you've angled the tray.

$40 for 5 pairs.... that's a good price considering the original ones are $55 for one. Is there that much of a difference compared to the smart hinge?

Another lovely example from you Alex. I also like how you have angled the medal tray

Thanks guys.

They aren't the same quality as the SmartHinge, but they are quite good quality for the price. They look quite smart, but for a premium quality box I'd still go for the originals. However, they can be used on small boxes with sides too thin for SmartHinges.

The card holding the medals sits on 2.5mm thick inserts that are a tight fit inside the box.the back and front ones have parallel top & bottom, the tops of the side ones slope from back to front.
