News Flash!


For years, Denver Box Company has been widely recognized as one of the country’s premier suppliers of mineral flats, cotton-filled setup boxes, foldup boxes, and other related supplies and equipment. In early June of 2003, Denver Box Company closed its doors.

 

We are proud to announce that Mineral and Fossil Supply Inc. has acquired the entire box inventory of Denver Box. We are committed to meeting the future needs of both their customers and our customers. Our revised list of products and prices incorporates the best of both companies.

Important note - MFS Flats are shipped unassembled/flat. When assembled, the inside of the bottom and the outside of the top are smooth and white. You can assemble the tops and bottoms using tape or glue, but stapling is recommended for the best finished appearance, strength, and durability. One box of staples will assemble hundreds of complete MFS flats.

Vinyl Label Sleeves

These sleeves are self-adhesive and are perfect for labeling and re-labeling your flats of minerals and fossils without unsightly writing on the flats or tape stickers and labels that will dry up and fall off over time.  A great organizing tool.  You could even just slip in a business card so you don’t lose track of what’s yours on a buying trip.  The sleeves are
3 ¾ x 2 ¾ inches and open on the long dimension for easy loading from the top.  Sold in multiples of 4.
