Ben Cooper Box Art Library

I’ve attempted to catalog all of the costume boxes Ben Cooper used starting in the 1950s.
I didn’t include boxes for related products like playsuits, pajamas, wigs, etc.

There are 111 designs not including variants and printing anomalies.

They are roughly in order, categorized by decade.  The timeline was determined by cross-referencing several resources, but it’s an approximation.

Boxes with watermarks and most of the accompanying illustrations are reproductions of the original artwork. Designs that I haven’t remade are cleaned-up/edited versions of the best images I could find.

UPDATE: I’ve finally finished all of the designs (to the best of my ability), so all of the art on the following pages are reproductions.

I’ll update the images if higher-quality versions become available – if you own any of the boxes and can send photos or scans please get in touch, and If you have any corrections or additional information that can help improve this list (especially the timeline) please leave a comment or use the contact page. Updates and changes will be logged at the bottom of the home page.

Click on a box to get more information, high-res images, and notes on the design.
