What is a Time Capsule?
Types of Stainless Steel Time Capsule Boxes
Bolted Time Capsules
The sealing kit you get with this one includes the formed silicone O-Ring, 12 stainless steel bolts and washers, and instructions. The finish on these time capsules is a satin, and welds are shined - but if you need an art piece or mirror finish polishing, we do offer that as an additional option, priced by size. A popular option is Laser Engraving for the lid of this time capsule. For these designs you have a circular area on the lid - see our examples in the gallery.
Capped Time Capsules
Our stainless steel capped time capsules are perfect archival boxes for most anything. They're made by hand. The personality? They were born in January, so they're practical, and great for organizing. If the time for your interment is 75 years or less, this is the best choice. You can also bury these easily (use the included instructions and kit).

We made this style first as a container inside of a building's cornerstone. The style is versatile and can be customized to almost any dimension (call our office if you need a specific size). These time capsules are stainless steel and may also be buried if common sense conditions are provided (for instance, the capsule should be oriented up & down so that the cap is in the upright position). Other common sense considerations should be followed if you bury any time capsule, such as 'DO NOT bury in a regularly watered area' and other tips and recommendations included with your order.
The time capsules have a satin finish, and welds are polished.A popular option is Laser Engraving for the time capsule lid. See our pricing for Laser Engraving and our Laser Engraving Gallery for ideas on what to say and how it might look.
