Janet,

    Usually in order to get a box made up specifically to your design you
    are going to need to order a lot of them. And I mean a LOT of them.
    Most box makers need to make up dies to produce their product and
    making the dies is expensive. So if you're looking to buy 500 or 1000
    boxes I doubt anyone is going to do that for you. I doubt they'd do
    it for 5000 boxes either but you might be able to find someone. But
    even at 5000 expect to pay a lot for them and to have a lot of extra
    charges attached. My ring boxes, which are nice, but not as nice as
    I'd like them, and are not a custom design (other than my name on
    them) cost me $5 per box and I have to order minimums of about 1000
    at a time to get even that price. But if you're only looking for a
    few, you might be able to find a local craftsman who might create a
    nice wood one or something for you.
