Meet THE CREATIVES

Born in 2017 out of a passion for pushing creative boundaries, our founders bring together over two decades of technical, design, and marketing expertise.

Box Not Box specializes in designing and producing bespoke laser-cut goods. We're the creative minds behind thousands of personalized decorations for birthdays, weddings, brand activations, store branding, and beyond.

Founder story

In 2013, Eric built something unexpected out of cardboard - a fully functional bar with special lighting, shelves, and locks.

It was not his first cardboard creation but it’s the one that inspired the name Box Not Box because he turned a box into not a box! Stephanie shares the same creative passion and together, formed a business partnership. Eric brings his technical know-how, spatial thinking and curious mind whereas Stephanie brings her graphic design, business acumen, and passion for brand building to the table.

Soon after launching the Box Not Box Instagram account and website, we started making brand activation pieces for international brands and local community events. In late 2017, we branched out to weddings and birthdays as we saw there was a huge opportunity for personalized laser cut items. Though Box Not Box has grown quite a bit, we still get super excited about every project we get, big or small. We love what we do and you can see it in our design and quality!

We’re the do-it-all team.

We’re known for our creativity, but we’re also very realistic. We work closely with you to ensure we meet the deadlines and expectations set, providing a seamless experience from start to finish.

Our commitment is to make YOU look good, delivering high-quality, customized items that perfectly reflect your vision and enhance your event.
