These handmade stackable pastel boxes measure 350mm x 180mm x 28mm with 25mm internal depth or 13.7 x 7 x 1.1 inches with 1 inches internal depth each. They were designed and made by me at my home in Ireland using locally sourced materials.

For a short video description of the modular boxes search PastelArtAdmiral on YouTube or follow the link https://youtu.be/nuq9YLRAK20

Each box module will hold approximately 100 half sticks, 60 full sticks or 65 large Terry Ludwig pastels. They have metal pins embedded in either end which fit into holes on the underside of the next module allowing them to stack securely. 

Each order, no matter the number of modules will come with one lid for the top box, the lid is made of 3mm grey backed MDF.

The ability to stack the modules makes storage easy for those artists short on space, while designing them as modules means you can aquire more later on when your paint collection expands (these modular boxes will be available here indefinitely).

Custom inserts are hand fitted to each compartment providing ridges that keep your pastels organized into neat rows. This keeps them from bumping together when your box is moved, keeping the pastels organized, clean and safe. 

There are three types of inserts available, you will be asked at checkout which type you prefer;

1. Standard Cardboard Inserts - This insert will comfortably fit most round brands of pastel including full and half sticks of Unison, Sennelier, Schminke, Mungyo, Rembrant, Daler Rowney, Girault, Pastell, Neopastel, Jacksons, Faber-Castell, Round Art Spectrum, Richeson Handrolled, etc. The ridges on this type of insert are 16mm or 0.62 inches apart.

2. Alternate Cardboard Inserts - This type of insert is for those with all or a significant portion of larger or squared pastels such as Terry Ludwig’s, Great American, Blue Earth, Mount Vision, Square Art Spectrum, Grande Sennelier, Diane Townsend, etc. The ridges on this type of insert are on average 20mm or 0.79 inches apart. This type of insert will cause the capacity of the box to drop by 1/6th.

3. Memory Foam Inserts - This insert is cream 5mm thick memory foam and is flat without ridges, this is generally just available for special cases.

The outer part of the box is made of Teak hardwood and the base from light sturdy MDF. The box has been sanded to a smooth finish and sealed with Teak oil which brings out the grain beautifully.
