From a backyard shed to a Nike client
Aleksa D. was lying on a van floor, done with events and done with film, when Nike called and asked her to make a box. She got off that van and never looked back. Boxxie became the first corporate gifting agency, and for a while she ran it out of a mold-filled shed behind her old house, quietly keeping that part from her biggest clients. Now the merchandise for those clients gets received, photographed, and inventoried at Saltbox, and she says she can't imagine her company surviving without it.

Frequently asked questions
Saltbox is a co-warehousing space. Think of it as what you’d get if co-working and a warehouse had a baby. You get your own dedicated warehouse suite, the shared infrastructure around it (loading docks, daily carrier pickups, a content studio, conference rooms, and more), and a team on site you can hire for operational work.
Fall 2026. The building at 934 N Church Rd in Elmhurst is being built out now, with furniture going in at the beginning of September. Join the waitlist, and you’ll get the opening date before it’s public, along with building progress along the way.
Not yet. The suites are still going up. We expect to open the tour calendar in late September/early October, and waitlist members get the link first.
You’ll get build updates as the space comes together, pricing and availability as suites are released, and first access to the tour calendar. The form is short: your name, your email, and what you do.
