These lightweight and sturdy beechwood cases would suit any travelling artist. They are empty and ready to fill with all your pastels!
The measurements of these lovely wooden cases will exactly fit the foam inserts from the Jackson’s Handmade Soft Pastels, which come in long boxes of 14. Any size pastel will fit in this case, if you use them as they come. But they only have foam on the bottom of each section. We wanted to add foam inserts for holding individual pastels and it made sense to use the foam inserts that already come in the Jackson’s Handmade pastels sets. So we made a slight adjustment to the size of the compartments so that if you buy a set the whole foam insert just needs to lifted from the cardboard box to fit in a section of the box.
If you wish to use many types of pastels, like many pastel painters do, you would just not add a foam insert to some of your sections.
New Jackson’s Pastel Travel Cases.
Holds 196 Jacksons Handmade Soft Pastels
Holds 112 Jacksons Handmade Soft Pastels
The Jackson’s Large Pastel Travel Case is divided into 10 handy storage sections and the Small Pastel Travel Case has 6 sections, all lined along the bottom with foam. The two melamine boards are placed on top and secured with little levers, to keep the pastels in place. As pastels come in different sizes the fit will be different – Unison Soft Pastels regular size, are the widest and the boards fit snugly on top and prevent any rolling. All other makes of pastels are slimmer and there will be some sideways movement.
Each attractive wooden box has a carrying handle for pastel painting on the go, but they work equally well as storage for your pastel collection in your studio.

I can’t find the price for the small Jacksons empty wooden pastel box. I saw the video demo for it and it says click on the underlined link.
I clicked on all the underlined link on the page and the boxed text “empty wooden box”. Other items were shown and no price for the item i am looking for!!!
FRUSTRATING!@@
Hi Lilia
Apologies for the confusion. The blog post and video are from February and since then we have improved the pastel travel cases to better fit Jackson’s Pastels.
We have just received the new boxes in stock and will be announcing them next week.

I have added that information to the blog post.
Are the latest travel cases suitable for Rembrandt Pastels?
Hi Bruce
They are made for Jacksons handmade pastels and fit the foam inserts from the 14 box sets.
Other pastels will fit but without the foam so won’t be as protected.
Hope this helps.
When will the pastel travel boxes be back in stock, please
Hi Rita
Apologies for the delay. We are expecting the delivery in 4 weeks time.
I am very dissapointed that you have
changed the design so the boxes only
fit your own or similar shaped
pastels. It is very difficult to find
boxes with the melamine insert in
order to keep the pastels in place.
It seems to me to be a bit of money
making on your behalf – but not much
use for us artists who often use a
range of shapes in our pastels
etc.All it’s done is drive me away to
another maker and does not make me
want to buy Jacksons pastels. If you
could point me in the direction os
some useful boxes – preferably with
melamine inserts, I would be grateful
Hi Philippa
The pastel cases will fit all shapes and sizes of pastels if you use them as they come. But they only have foam on the bottom of each section.
The original design also fit all sizes of pastels but we wanted to add foam inserts for holding individual pastels.
It made sense to use the foam inserts that already come in the Jackson’s Handmade pastels sets. So we made a slight adjustment to the size of the compartments so if you buy a set the whole foam insert just needs to lifted from the cardboard box to fit in a section of the box.
If you wish to use many types of pastels, like many pastel painters do, you would just not add a foam insert to that section.
We sell the foam inserts separately for artists who do not buy the Jackson’s Handmade sets, but wish an insert – for Unison pastel users.
I hope this clears up the confusion.
Hello,
I live in the US. Where or how can I purchase a Jackson
Pastel Carrying case? Is there a price listing anywhere?
Thanks,
Hi Pilar
We are the only seller of the pastel cases but we ship worldwide. If you click on either of the links for the cases in the blog post you will go to the product on our website. If you login so it knows where you want it shipped then add it to your basket it will tell you how much shipping will be. It is based on weight and destination, you only pay the price we are charged by the courier.
I shop on american amazon from your store all the time. I can
only purchase things through there as my patron sends me
amazon gift certificates, would you ever list the large case
on there? I look often hoping to see it on there.
Thanks,
Colleen
I finally got my small travel case yesterday in the mail! It’s
perfect thank you so much for providing such a great product
at an affordable price even with the shipping to the US it was
considerably more affordable and well constructed!
I I live in Arizona, USA. I would love to order
tthe small wooden pastel box. How much
would it be and how do I pay for it? and how
much is the shipping and time approx. for
delivery?
Hi Winny
The price for the case is listed on the website and you can change the currency you see by clicking the country in the top left corner and changing to USA.
To find out your different delivery options before going through the checkout procedure, including shipping costs and estimated delivery time, please put all the items in your basket and then click on the basket. On the lower right side of that page enter your delivery address.
Delivery charges and options depend on what is in the basket as it’s based on volumetric weight and size. You may be offered faster DHL option at checkout for a slightly shorter time frame but everywhere is experiencing delays. Direct Link have suspended their services across the world due to the virus, but some areas may have a Royal Mail World delivery option but it’s difficult to say. This service says 18 days but it could be longer with delays across the board in customs and local postal services.
Unfortunately, the small case is currently out of stock and we aren’t expecting it in for a few months.
