Tennis Balls and Their Containers

From simple cardboard boxes holding four or six balls to commemorative tins and specialized equipment, the ways tennis balls have been packaged tell their own story. Early balls were often white and sold in cardboard boxes or metal cans of three or six. Collectors today cherish special editions, like Donnay four-ball boxes, Wilson 100th Anniversary tins, Tretorn six-ball tins marking a century of tennis, and even vintage ball presses like the Edgeroy.

This page showcases the variety of containers and balls, illustrating how both function and design have evolved over the decades.
