The need of a box to hold the common A4 frame, book, painting is ever a requirement. However, it is hard to come by to have such a box because ready made files, envelope, bag to hold them in are in abundant off the bookshop and stationary shops.
We have a bronze textured flip cover box with an internal dimension of 38 x 28 x 5cm height just to accomodate the A4 sizes. We have a depressed cutout of a smaller rectangle size at 34 x 24cm to sit most A4 stuff. A covering of gold satin within will give a cushioning effect to the gift, from whom he will decide.
The price for such a hard and sturdy box is not expensive at S$15.00 each. It is worth the amount spent, making your gift presenatable, while the others pack their gift in a bag.
