A special holiday delivery…Boston Pack and Ship delivers customized gift box for Marshfield Community Christmas.
 
DATELINE:  BRAINTREE, MA…As a small load specialist, Boston Pack and Ship is often asked to create customized boxes and crates for items of a delicate nature, like antiques or electronic equipment or prototypes. The customized gift box with lid that the Braintree-based company made for Marshfield Community Christmas contains something far more precious: the holiday dreams of many Marshfield area children and families.
 
The 42x30x27 gift box served as the focal point for Marshfield Community Christmas’s annual telethon held on November 30. The gift box, decorated by Community Christmas volunteers, has also served as the receptacle for donations at various other locations. 
 
“The Marshfield Community Christmas is a wonderful charity and we’re more than happy to help the cause by donating something we do very well: custom-made boxes,” said Joe Fell, co-owner of Boston Pack and Ship. “Good things may come in small packages, but we built the box to be big and sturdy enough to accept big and small packages for this very worthy cause.”
 
Boston Pack and Ship is no stranger to helping charities and non-profit organizations. The company typically offers a 10 percent discount for packing and shipping services for non-profits and will often create boxes for donations for toy drives, canned good drives and other charitable efforts.
 
“We sincerely appreciate Boston Pack and Ship’s contribution of the gift box,” said Mike Maresco, a Marshfield Community Christmas organizer. “It certainly was a focal point of our telethon and really a symbol of what we’re trying to accomplish with Marshfield Community Christmas, giving those a little less fortunate a chance at a happy holiday.”
