Anyone ever had success with restoring a box (cardboard, not wooden) with oh... say badly faded, the bottom falling out etc... I like the look of an old original box with a new looking razor inside, but not when it's gone beyond functionality or no longer readable.

My first thought was paint, then dye, then ink... I'm wondering what sort of outcomes anyone has had.

I searched "box restoration" and couldn't come up with anything.
