The Expanded Edition celebrates Philadelphia’s rich dining culture with a bold 13x19" print — the largest format in the Maxbox Matchbox collection. This oversized collage highlights matchbooks from some of the city’s most beloved restaurants and bars, including El Vez, Middle Child, Irwin’s, Mission Taqueria, Alpen Rose, Parc, Dante & Luigi’s, Wilder, Little Water, and more.
Whether you’re a Philly native, a homesick transplant, or a collector of matchbook nostalgia, this print brings the city’s flavors, history, and nightlife to life in one striking collage.
Each print measures 13 x 19 inches, is printed on premium glossy photo paper, and ships rolled in a protective tube to ensure safe delivery.
Custom Matchbox Collages
I hand-create each Matchbox Collage as a custom piece of art, combining vintage-inspired design with your personal memories and meaningful places. Inspired by classic matchbooks, I carefully compose charming retro artwork personalized with your favorite restaurants, bars, cities, wedding venues, or locations that matter to you. I can also incorporate matchboxes from my existing collage designs if you'd like to blend them in.
These make perfect gifts for housewarmings, graduations, anniversaries, weddings, or as a way to celebrate the places that shaped your story. Each piece becomes both a conversation starter and a reflection of who you are.
How the Process Works
When you place your order, you'll fill out a form with your list of places and locations you want featured in your collage. If you have specific images you'd like me to include—like a photo of your dog, matchbooks or matchboxes you own, or any other meaningful visuals… just email them to me along with your order details, and I'll incorporate them into the design.
Within approximately 5–15 days (depending on how many orders I'm working through), I'll send you a digital proof of your layout so you can review it before I start printing. Once you approve, I print and ship your piece. If you need revisions, just let me know… I build in time for those.
Need It Faster?
If you need your collage sooner than my current production timeline allows, you can purchase a Rush Request to bump your order to the front of my queue:
https://www.maxboxmatchbox.com/shop/p/skiptheline
What to Expect
An 8×10" or 11×14" collage typically features 10–15 matchboxes, while the 13×19" can hold around 20. Just make sure the customizations you choose match the number of locations you're requesting at checkout.
A Note on Custom Work
Since I create each piece individually, orders are non-refundable. I stand behind my work and want you to love it… that's why the approval process is built in.
Questions?
If you have any questions or reservations about your order, just reach out, I'm here to help! Email me at maxboxmatchbox@gmail.com and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can!
