Step 1: Stringent Material Selection and Craftsmanship

Our manufacturing journey begins with the careful selection of solid timber. We understand that the quality of the raw materials directly impacts the finished product. Therefore, we source only the finest solid timber, ensuring each piece meets our high standards. 

Our range of materials includes beech, oak, walnut, maple, MDF, and birch plywood, allowing us to cater to various aesthetic and functional preferences.

At Probox, we blend traditional craftsmanship with modern technology to achieve unparalleled precision and attention to detail. Our craftsmen are adept at working with state-of-the-art woodworking machinery, ensuring each drawer box is crafted to perfection. 

The front, back, and sides of our drawers are made from solid timber, while the veneered bases are grooved into all four sides, providing maximum strength and durability. One of the hallmarks of our drawer boxes is the use of dovetail joints. These joints are precisely cut and reinforced with hand-applied adhesive, ensuring maximum strength and longevity.

Step 2: Hand Polishing and Quality Control

Every drawer box undergoes a thorough hand-polishing process, enhancing the natural beauty of the timber. After polishing, each box is individually quality-checked to ensure it meets our exacting standards. 

This attention to detail ensures that every Probox drawer box is not only aesthetically pleasing but also flawless in its construction.

To further enhance the durability of our drawer boxes, we apply a high-quality lacquer. This finish not only protects the timber but also adds a sleek, polished look. The lacquer ensures that our drawer boxes can withstand the rigours of daily use, maintaining their appearance and functionality for years to come.

Step 3: Customisation and Unique Branding

We understand that our clients may have unique branding requirements. To meet these needs, we offer a custom engraving service that allows your company logo to be engraved on each drawer box. 

This bespoke branding service enhances your company’s image and adds a personalised touch to the finished product.

Step 4: Flexible Order Processing

At Probox, we are equipped to handle orders of all sizes, from small one-off requests to larger-scale requirements. 

Our facilities in Buckingham, Northampton, and Manchester enable us to process orders efficiently and meet the diverse needs of our clients. We also ensure that all drawer boxes are packaged to the highest standards, guaranteeing that they arrive in immaculate condition.

Our streamlined process ensures swift and efficient production, tailored to your unique dimensions and requirements. We’ve simplified the ordering experience into three easy steps:

  1. Submit your request: Choose between email or our online Probox configurator
  2. Verify details: Review and approve the order confirmation we send via email
