NEWS!
Welcome to the BRP Box Shop News Page.
Update 7 Nov 2008
Probably the biggest update on its way to a brpboxshop near you, is the addition of
the My Account feature. This will allow you as a box buyer to log into our store, create
a list of favorite items, store important order information that will be there the next time
you need to buy boxes online, and other things that just make life easier. A page has
been created to help explain how everything works to the betterment of your box
acquisition position.
We don't have everything all set yet, but when we do, you will see these buttons (the
ones you see here are not turned on). Stay tuned!

Tired of those unsightly cupcake holder lines, well do we
have news for you! If you take a look at the picture to the right
you will see what you cannot see. This box was developed a
while back, upon request, to hold two cupcakes. We
dimensioned it so it would hold two cupcakes with two
cupcake holders. Well, fast forward and we were notified that
it would be a whole lot better if we could offer a one piece
insert to hold two cupcakes. Single cupcake holders are still
pulling single cupcake-holder-duty, but all of the mini,
standard, and jumbo sized cupcake holders for this box will
eventually be a single insert. I'll keep you posted on our
progress via our new NEWS page. Just check next to the
News Buoy to see if you have news.

One Holder. Two Cupcakes.
You can have your own brpboxshop account...soon.
Do you want a cookie...box? These are here!
We are always on the lookout for the next greatest paperboard
creation we can make to better serve you. Projects like this
one are one of the perks of being box makers (aside from the
glassy-eyed admiration of school children who hope to grow
up and be box makers themselves one day).
These cookie boxes will have the same window material as
all of our windowed boxes. The crystal clear film will be under
the cutout to protect your cookies while at the same time
allowing hungry eyes to get a peek of what's inside.
The boxes are 4 3/8" x 4 3/8" by 1" and will be feature our
natural paperboard. We are excited about these!

Most sold by Christmas: 8 Push-ups
It is not a common thing, but every once in a while someone here at the box shop feels so strongly about an
opinion or prediction, they suggest a wager. Even more uncommon, is someone actually taking that bet. At
BRP Box Shop, the currency for such wagers is push-ups. Specifically, eight push-ups. In a row! Which box
above will we sell the most of by Christmas? Someone is going to be doing push-ups...outside...in the cold.

Custom Colored Bakery Boxes for the Same Price as Pink.
To be honest with you, this is one that, when I heard about it, I said, "Really!?" The
smart people running the box shop have come up with some MacGyver solutions in
order to get you custom bakery boxes at a price that is the same as the pink boxes we
already offer. Click any one of the boxes above or the Custom Colored Boxes link to

We Invite You to Look Through Our Environmental Initiative
The window material in our
boxes - yep! That's
biodegradable. It is tough to
get film that doesn't have a
price tag fit for NASA, is food
safe, and is kind to the
environment. If you have any
of our windowed boxes - you
have a film that meets those
requirements. Our windows
are cellulose-based and
made from wood pulp.

Like our line of Natural Bakery Boxes, the wood used to make our window material is harvested in accordance
with the Sustainable Forestry Initiative Standard. The SFI certifies practices like replanting more trees than are
harvested each year and making sure no endangered hard woods are used. Your bakery box window
material is recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable.
Being so close to the Mississippi River affords all of us here at BRP Box Shop the opportunity to see and
experience some of our country's most beautiful natural resources. Even in a box factory, we have found ways
to increase the odds that the natural beauty that surrounds us can be here for our children and grandchildren
to enjoy.

Although crystal clear and strong enough to protect your most delicate treats, BRP Box Shop's window
material is not a typical petroleum-based plastic - it is a biodegradable and environmentally friendly
food-safe film.

Our Sample Request Page will Guide You to a Taste of our Offerings
Just click Get Samples at the top of the page.
Samples are a great way to see the quality of our boxes, how they look with
your treats or cupcakes, or just how well your pie fits in a time saver box. We
want to make sure you are ordering exactly the boxes you need when you
drop your items into your cart. A sample can help you be sure.
Over time, we've developed a system that provides accuracy and speed. In
the upper left hand corner of the page, under the boat, there is a link that will
send you to our 'Get Samples' page. Visit this page to find out how to get the
samples of the boxes you want to try out for yourself.

Get Your own BRP Box Shop Account and Save Time.
A lot of our customers have asked us if we can provide some time saving features
when they visit our box shop. We make time saver boxes - so why not have some
time saving functionality to make buying time saver boxes less time consuming!
Makes perfect sense. The first feature we added was the Add Items All at Once
page. This allows anyone, if they have a My Account username setup or not - to
place multiple items into their cart at once if they already know their item numbers.
Click here to check that out.
The next big step was allow people to set up their own account, be able to see their
order history, create a list of favorite items they can pick from when ordering, and
save their name and shipping information - and do all of this with the confidence
that their information is secure. DONE! It's here. Setting up your own account is
easy and fast. Sign up for your own account if want to save some time 09.

Red.
Twenty-five gallons of Pantone's
PMS 186 C colored ink is on its
way to the Box Shop. We will use
this ink to color the four boxes you
see pictured above. The liquid red
is not yet here so I used
Photoshop to doctor photos of
these existing sizes with PMS 186
C. These red bakery boxes will
look similar to our pink offering but
instead of pretty pink, they will be
very red with white on the inside
just like our pink line.

| The Birth of a Box |
Every singe one of the above boxes is different in some way, some varying by only 1/64 of an inch. This pile of
boxes was sitting beside the CNC sample table we use to cut out prototype bakery boxes. The photo
captures something pretty cool about working in the Box Shop. This is our new 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" bakery
box or goody box. 'Cute' seems to be the preferred word when people take a look at it for the first time. But
before this little carton ended up in its final incarnation, it passed through the hands of a lot of folks.

It's cute, but how can we make this easier to close for the
customer? Little tiny tweaks here and there. I wonder if we
can make this gap a little smaller so it looks cleaner? Are the
process technicians in Cutting going to have a hard time with
this little hook? Bring sample to cutting and ask them what
they think. Cutting says no problem. Show the other
departments. Lots of smiles. Bring it to the Vice President of
the Box Shop. He says we'll make a million of 'em. Bring it to
the President. He wants one for the display case in his office.

Do other box companies get this picky when designing a box
- making sure it looks and works great, not only for the
customer, but also for the talented people who are going to
manufacture them? Don't know - but it is a really good feeling
knowing that we do - no matter how many samples it takes.

The House of Just One Gable...but it is a pink one with a handle.
You know that thing where we make some bakery boxes or
some cupcake holders or something and people like them
but they would like some kind of different feature or color or
size or some suchery so they ask us to make it and then
(and this is the best part)...and then we listen and if we can
pull it off - WE DO IT! You know what I'm talking about? This
gable top box is pretty and the bottom snaps down
automatically. Auto bottom. The dimensions of this 8 1/2" x
5 1/2" x 3 /12" gable top do not include the gable. There's
more room in the rafters beneath the handle so it can hold a
lot of cookies or doughnuts, or yarn, or love letters or
whatever you need to transport. Thanks to all of you who
take the time to make suggestions. Click here to see the
gable top box!

Saint Patrick's Day Green Shamrock Cookie Boxes
Continuing with our seasonal cookie theme, this shamrock
green cookie box is available right now. It is hard to see in this

Our window film is cellulose-based and 100% biodegradable.
Looking for a green box? No, I mean are you looking for a
greeeeen box? This box has a bit of both.
This cookie box is white on the inside and has a satin green
