It’s official, the Skool Box has become the coolest item every student wants to own! What started as a bold innovation by ChopBox Technologies Ltd to replace the century-old wooden “chop box” has now become a nationwide craze — transforming how students pack, travel, and live in school.
Across boarding schools in Ghana, Skool Boxes have quickly evolved from simple storage to a symbol of style, safety, and smart living. Parents love them for their durability and hygiene; students can’t stop flaunting them for their sleek design and bold colours.
“We wanted to make something practical, durable, and proudly Ghanaian — but also fun,” said Casey Owusu, CEO of ChopBox Technologies Ltd. “The Skool Box is no longer just a box. It’s a lifestyle. It’s part of every student’s identity.”
A New Era of Boarding School Life
Built with high-grade plastic and modern moulds approved by the Ghana Education Service (GES) and TVET schools, the ChopBox Skool Box eliminates the old problems of wooden boxes — no more mould, no more bedbugs, and no more petty theft.
With over 700,000 students entering senior high schools this year, the demand has skyrocketed beyond expectations. Distributors, schools, and parents have described the Skool Box as a must-have item for back-to-school season.
From its vibrant colour options (sky blue, pink, black, metallic grey) with its modern features like coded padlocks, hidden handles, and branded accessories, every Skool Box reflects the energy of today’s student: bold, confident, and ready for the future.
From Utility to Craze
On social media, the hashtag SkoolBoxCraze has been trending, with students proudly showing off their boxes before heading back to campus. Many say it’s become a new school status symbol “If you don’t have a Skool Box, are you even ready for SHS?”
The ChopBox Vision
ChopBox Technologies, recently awarded Innovative Company of the Year, continues to redefine convenience and innovation for students and parents across Ghana. Beyond the Skool Box, the company provides over 10,000 student essentials books, provisions, stationery, and even digital access to insurance, credit, and delivery through its website and mobile apps.
Our goal is to make school life convenient and exciting again,” Casey Owusu added. “The Skool Box is just the beginning of a new generation of student innovation.”

The ChopBox Skool Box is available through ChopBoxOnline.com, the ChopBox mobile app, and approved distributors nationwide.
