Small shadow boxes for medals, pins, and single keepsakes
Small Shadow Box Frames & Mini Shadow Boxes
A small shadow box is the right fit when the item is thin and the moment is personal. Think a service medal, a set of lapel pins, a single baseball card, baby's hospital bracelet, or a pressed flower. Our small shadow box frames use a standard 0.875 inch usable depth and are built to your exact dimensions. They are the inverse of our large pieces: compact, focused, and made for a single treasured keepsake.

Got a Thicker Item?
Small shadow boxes use a standard 0.875 inch usable depth, ideal for thin keepsakes. If your item has real thickness, such as a folded jersey, a baseball, or a helmet, a deep shadow box gives you the clearance you need.

Small Shadow Box Questions
What size is a small shadow box frame?
Small shadow box frames are built to your exact dimensions in the designer, so there is no single fixed size. Most small shadow boxes fall in the 4x6 to 11x14 range and use a standard 0.875 inch usable depth. That depth is ideal for medals, pins, single keepsakes, and baby mementos that sit close to the backing.
What can I put in a small shadow box?
Small shadow boxes suit thin, lightweight items: military medals and ribbons, lapel pins and badges, a single baseball card, a christening bracelet, a lock of hair, pressed flowers, a hospital wristband, or first-year baby mementos. For thicker items like folded jerseys or helmets, choose a deep shadow box instead.
Can I order a small shadow box in a custom size?
Yes. Every small shadow box is made to order. Enter your exact width and height in the designer, pick your frame, mat, and acrylic, and the frame is built to those measurements. There is no need to settle for an off-the-shelf size.
How long does a small shadow box take to ship?
Small shadow boxes are made to order and typically ship in 3-5 business days. Because they fall within standard small-package dimensions, they ship by standard carrier with no freight requirement.
