More About Our Matchboxes:
We are proud to offer wooden matchsticks that are produced using FSC certified wood. What does this mean? FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council, and it means the wood is certified to come from responsibly managed forests.
Superior Dry Goods has curated an assortment of exceptional vintage-inspired matchboxes. Each image is selected for its unusual and compelling subject matter, whimsical edge, or gorgeous graphics. We print the images on velvety soft matte photo paper, which is a perfect “match” for the vintage appeal of these decorator matchboxes. The kraft and vellum cardstock we use is made in the U.S.A., and we produce the boxes themselves in-house, completely by hand.
When you purchase these boutique-quality matchboxes, you are supporting sustainable plastic-free production processes, as well as a small, woman-owned business.
