What makes the 5.56x45mm NATO box special


Caliber-specific fit
Each slot is designed to the caliber according to CIP dimensions: the cartridges find a firm hold, play and rattling are minimized as much as possible. Dimensionally accurate design, not improvised.


Hinge lid with latch closure
The lid is attached at the back via a hinge and folds fully backward – the cartridges then stand upright and ready to grab in the securely fitting insert. A latch closure at the front keeps the lid securely closed during transport; to open, simply release the latch.


Stable & durable
Solid construction for continuous use – stable standing in the cabinet, well stored in the range bag, reusable instead of disposable packaging.


Caliber marking in multicolor print
The caliber marking is multicolored and directly integrated into the box print – permanent, without stickers and without engraving. In a full gun cabinet, you immediately reach for the right box.


For sport shooters, hunters, and reloaders


Reloaders: one box per load (powder type, charge, bullet) – batch cleanly separated and clearly marked in multicolor instead of mixed loads.

Sport shooter: one box per discipline or firearm – defined quantity per box, ammunition count at a glance.

Organized stock: uniformly labeled in the gun cabinet, ready to grab for range, hunting grounds, and range bag.


Made in Westerwald

We print every box here in Westerwald – no container import, no anonymous mass production. Printing is largely done with solar power from our own 22 kWp photovoltaic system. Material: Filamelt PLA+ 2.0.

Frequently asked questions about the 5.56x45mm NATO box


Do my reload cartridges fit?
The box is designed for CIP-compliant cartridges. Custom loads with longer overall length (long bullets, shallow seating depth) can be tight near the upper OAL limit – if in doubt, ask briefly in advance.


Does the lid pop open in the backpack?
No. A latch closure at the front keeps the hinge lid securely closed so it does not accidentally open during transport. To open, release the latch with your finger; the lid then folds backward. Slight manufacturing tolerances are possible.


Are the boxes suitable for transport?
Yes, as an organization and storage box for the range bag. However, it is not a safety container according to WaffG/AWaffV and not a hazardous materials packaging.


Can it withstand d
The box heat (e.g. the summer trunk)?
Yes, with usual storage it remains dimensionally stable. High continuous heat – like in a hot trunk in midsummer – is nothing for PLA; the box is not designed for that.

What are the tolerances in 3D printing?
Small tolerances are part of 3D printing. The cartridges still find secure hold in the slot – a minimal play remains due to the design; pressure on the bullet nose is avoided as much as possible.


No more loose cartridges
Grab the matching 5.56x45mm NATO box – small for the range bag, large for stock in the gun safe.
