Apple Boxes
Matthews World Famous Apple Boxes are an essential part of any production truck. With their durable 9-ply plywood construction and versatile sizes, they’re the ultimate solution for adjusting height in 1" increments. Start with the Eighth Apple Box at 1", the Quarter Apple Box at 2", and the Half Apple Box at 4". Combine them to create precise height adjustments: for example, a Quarter and Eighth Apple Box will give you 3", while a Half and Eighth combine to 5". Stack your way to 15" by using a Full Apple Box (8") with an Eighth, Quarter, and Half. Whether you’re raising gear, talent, or props, these apple boxes give you the flexibility you need on set. We recommend carrying a set that includes a Full, Half, Quarter, and Eighth Apple Box in every grip truck or van for maximum versatility. Plus, it’s always smart to have a few extra Full Apple Boxes on hand—you never know when another department will need to borrow them! With a full set ready, you’ll be prepared for any on-set challenge.

Matthews University - Apple Boxes
On early film sets production would supply coffee and apples to the crew members in a effort to keep technicians caffeinated and sated. Being a very resourceful community, the crew would use the empty apple crates for many tasks such as propping up lighting equipment, set pieces and even camera operators. Over time, dedicated boxes were constructed to offer sturdy support on film and photo sets, these are what became the modern Apple Box.
