Frequently asked questions
What exactly am I receiving when I buy an "Edition"?
Our Editions are high-fidelity, 1:20 scale replica shipping containers made of durable plastic ABS and alloy. Each one features vibrant, UV-printed graffiti from world-renowned artists. Think of it as a museum-quality piece of street history designed specifically for your shelf.
What is the difference between an "Edition" and an "Original"?
An Edition is part of a limited-run series featuring high-quality digital prints of an artist's work. An Original is a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted piece. Our artists use the same materials and sprayspaints on these 1:20 scale canvases as they do on real freight trains, making each Original a unique, textured masterpiece.
How large are the containers?
Each unit is built to a precise 1:20 scale. The dimensions are approximately 12" x 5" x 5", providing enough surface area to showcase the intricate details of the graffiti while fitting perfectly on a standard bookshelf or display case.
Are these pieces part of a limited run?
Yes. Every Edition is produced in strictly limited quantities to ensure its value as a collectible. Once an Edition is sold out, it is gone. Each piece represents a specific moment and collaboration in graffiti culture.
