Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a military shadow box take?
Most military shadow boxes are completed in 5–10 business days depending on complexity. Rush orders for retirement ceremonies or memorial events can often be accommodated — call to discuss your timeline.
Do I need to bring everything in at once?
Yes — we need all items to design the layout accurately. We recommend a consultation first so we can discuss arrangement, fabric color, frame moulding, and nameplate options before you leave anything with us.
What if I don't have all the items — just a flag and photos?
We work with whatever you bring. A folded flag and a service photo can still make a powerful, beautiful display. We design around what exists.
What size are military shadow boxes?
Sizes vary based on content — typical ranges are 16×20 to 24×30 inches. We custom build every shadow box to fit your specific items, not a pre-made template.
