Wholesale Shopping List - 1930s Matchbook Labels

Step into the colorful world of 1930s advertising with the first release in an all-new Maxbox Matchbox series. Discovered inside a large book of original matchbook labels found at a flea market, these remarkable designs felt too special to remain hidden away. Unlike my traditional tightly arranged matchbox collages, this new collection embraces a more spontaneous, layered “Slapdash” composition — echoing the energy and abundance of vintage general stores and old advertising displays. Shopping List gathers together beautifully illustrated labels featuring everyday staples — mayonnaise, milk, ice cream, coffee, butter, peaches, vanilla extract and more — transforming ordinary shopping-list items into extraordinary graphic art. The result is a playful yet nostalgic window into a time when matchbooks were powerful miniature advertisements and design objects in their own right. Rich with typography, color, and Americana charm, this piece is both a conversation starter and statement artwork — a fresh new way to appreciate the artistry of vintage matchbooks. Printed on high-quality glossy paper and available in A2, A1, and dramatic A0 sizes, with multiple framing options available, this debut piece launches a brand new product line for collectors, design lovers, and anyone drawn to nostalgic ephemera. A bold statement piece from the golden age of advertising.
