Since keepsakes (like a memorial or graduation box) are often displayed on desks or bookshelves, the distinction is even more important.
Shelf Display (Eye-Level): Latch on the side. This is perfect for a bookshelf or a mantle so the engraving faces the room.
Table Display (Top-Down): Latch on the front. Ideal for a coffee table or bedside stand where you look down at the box to open it.
Also, should you select the photo design, the name and dates can be engraved on the pine box lid. Specify in additional information box.
For a long time, my world was front-end development and graphic design. Then retrenchments hit my department in 2024, and I left the big city of Johannesburg for Jeffreys Bay. I spent over a year doing the usual thing - sending out CVs, chasing contracts. It just wasn't working.
My best friends all kept encouraging me to try something. What started as a single idea has now become BFFs.
I realised I could take all those years of design precision and point them at something physical. Something that matters to people in a real way. But I never stopped being a developer or designer - I still got my own website to build, PHP to figure out for the database, branding to create, marketing to sort. Oh, and designing BFFs. That's still very much part of my world. The memorial boxes just became the new thing alongside it all.
It didn't happen overnight. Many months of planning. Finding the right materials. Waiting for the laser machinery I needed so I could actually do this. I wasn't going to rush it and get it wrong. So now I split my time between design and laser engraving. Building boxes during the day, building interfaces at night. Both let me make things. Both need to be done and look great. I'm finally ready to launch the boxes. Took a while to get here, but I'm proud of where I am heading.
To my friends, despite my moving so far away... Thank you for being there! You truly are all my Best Friends, Forever.
