How to paint banker box?

Are banker's boxes made of cardboard.

I would spray paint it. We have one and I can't imagine not having it in our office. It definitely gets all the papers off the desk into organized slots. What is it made out of , wood? plastic? or cardboard?

These are cardboard boxes, or do you have something else in mind? You could cover it with lots of things, newspaper, gift wrap, seed catalogs, contact paper...to name a few.

If it's cardboard, I would cover it with contact paper or decoupage paper or fabric to it.

Hi Cathy, it will really depend on what it is made out of. Can you provide some more details and we would be happy to help :)

Spray paint or chalk paint would both work. You can spray on a coat of poly to protect them better.

There is some information on this page:

Thank you for all the responses. Yes, they are made of cardboard but I have about 15 that I wanted to paint. Some where I read about a primer called GESSO to be used before spray painting. I wanted something I could do quickly so I might have to rethink this. I do appreciate everyone's ideas. Love this site.
