Experts in Ballistic Gelatin Molds and Custom Metal Boxes

Welcome to The Metal Box Company, your trusted source for high-quality metal boxes, trays, and specialized ballistic gelatin molds. As a veteran-owned and operated business with over 14 years of experience, we're dedicated to crafting durable, American-made products that meet the needs of professionals in ballistics testing, fabrication, and beyond. Our mission is simple: deliver cost-effective, precision-engineered solutions without the markups or inefficiencies of traditional manufacturers. We were Clear Ballistic's supplier for ballistic gelatin molds for the past 12 years until last year.

Why Choose The Metal Box Company for Your Ballistic Gelatin Molds?

We started building metal boxes because we saw a gap in the market. Traditional fabrication shops, HVAC fabricators, and sheet metal manufacturers often come with high setup costs, material markups, and quoting systems that drive up prices. At The Metal Box Company, we refine our processes, skills, and machinery to offer straightforward pricing based on item cost alone no hidden fees.

This approach shines in our ballistic gelatin molds, which are designed for accurate, repeatable testing in firearms, archery, and air rifle applications. Whether you're a law enforcement agency, ballistics researcher, or hobbyist, our molds help you create clear, consistent gel blocks for penetration and expansion analysis. Here's why our customers rely on us:

• Superior Durability: Built from 18-gauge galvanized steel (about 1/20 inch thick, weighing 2.15 lbs per square foot), our molds feature fully penetrated welds that can hold fluids without leaking.
• Precision Design: Rounded corners and glass-smooth sides ensure easy gel release and professional results. Models like our FBI Gel Mold (16L x 6W x 7H) meet industry standards for ballistic testing.
• US-Sourced Materials: Every product, including our Shooter Gel Mold (20L x 6W x 7H) and Long Range Gel Mold (20L x 10W x 11H), is made from 100% American materials—supporting local economies and ensuring quality.
• Veteran Expertise: As a 100% veteran-employed company, we bring military-grade precision to every weld and cut. Our HTP Pro Pulse 220 welder with 0.023 wire guarantees strong, exterior-only welds.

We currently focus on galvanized steel for its strength and affordability, but we're open to aluminum or stainless steel options if demand grows. Note: Galvanized metal is not food-safe, making it ideal for non-consumable applications like ballistics.

Our Full Range of Products: From Ballistic Gel Molds to Custom Trays

Beyond ballistic gelatin molds, we offer a lineup of thick and thin metal boxes tailored for various uses:

• Thick Metal Boxes: Perfect for heavy-duty needs, including our Spartan Gel Mold (18L x 8W x 9H) for mid-range testing or Archery Gel Mold (14L x 12W x 7H) for bow enthusiasts.
• Thin Metal Boxes (Coming Soon): Lightweight options with aircraft rivets, rounded profiles, and bucked ends for easier handling.
• Expanded Metal Boxes and Trays (Coming Soon): Versatile for drainage or ventilation in custom projects.
