The best transport boxes for chess pieces, chess boards or chess clocks

There are many different types of chess pieces, from hand-carved wooden chess pieces, pieces of gold, silver, steel, to pieces of plastic. The transport of these pieces according to use requires having adequate material for their storage. For this, there are many different styles of chess boxes, but we can divide them into two categories. Boxes to transport from one place to another or boxes to add to an elegant display of chess sets. In this article we are going to see different bags, boxes or suitcases. Some exclusive boxes that we will show are not intended to be transported, but would be better to complete a display piece.

Of course, if you have animals or babies at home, having a chess box is not a bad idea to keep your precious chess set safe.

Although these boxes are designed for chess pieces, they may be suitable for storing other valuables.
