From tea sets to CD box sets, you’ll see the work of the Phillips siblings mill on shelves all across the country. They make wooden boxes for just about any type of product imaginable. Interestingly, they do it the old-school way, with the entire factory powered by steam.

The wood for the boxes comes from the on-site mill, resawn as well as planed to the appropriate dimensions. These thin boards are then cut to size for every of the sides.

Most of the clients like to put their logo on their boxes, as well as the Phillips siblings mill is more than happy to oblige. They brand one side of the box with a custom-made iron, permanently marking the box for the client.

The boxes are assembled with either staples or nails, sufficient to last for many, many years. No, there aren’t finger joints on these boxes, however with generations worth of experience in this factory, we’ll presume they understand what they’re doing.
