An acrylic window on the back shows the money level, and a lock with a spare key keeps the box secure.

Selection guide

Which Tip Box Should You Choose?

Both models come from the same workshop but suit different needs. Use the criteria below to pick the right tip box for your business.

Purpose of Use

If the box sits at the counter every day, the custom logo wooden tip box is the practical choice. The Retro TV model doubles as a tip box for cafe counters and a piggy bank at home, so it also suits gift requests.

Personalization

On the classic model, the focus is a custom tip box logo engraved on the wood. The Retro TV model instead accepts a printed photo on the screen area, a different route to a personalized wooden tipping box.

Stock & Delivery

The Retro TV model is kept in stock and ships fast. The classic model is made to order, so delivery time varies — reach out on WhatsApp for a current estimate.

Material & Durability

Both models use solid wood and a double-coat varnish, because a counter-top box gets handled all day. Marketplace alternatives are often MDF or acrylic/imported pieces that scratch faster.

Shipping Abroad & Bulk Orders

Architab ships internationally and takes bulk orders for restaurant chains and hotel groups. Contact us on WhatsApp for a restaurant tip box quote before you order.

Where Is a Tip Box Used?

Cafe

A tip box for cafe counters gets handled dozens of times a day. Solid wood and a double-coat varnish hold up to that contact.

Restaurant

Restaurants with several counters often order in bulk. The same logo is engraved on every box to the same standard.

Hotel

At a boutique hotel reception or breakfast area, a wooden tip box becomes a small branded detail. Logo engraving is free here too.

Barbershop

In a barbershop, a small tip box usually sits near the register. The Retro TV model's nostalgic shape doubles as a decorative piece in that kind of space.
