Name the type of ration kit you want and amount. Include the country you live in for a shipping estimate. I ship from the Netherlands.

The British 24-Hour Ration kit consisting of one set each so you can make a complete ration.
Included are the cartons for making the box, together with all the wrappers for the components.

Each box has a top and bottom part. The top part is labeled “24 Hour Ration (instructions within)” and the bottom is labeled with the bogus company name “Holland Food Co., Ltd.” with the year 1944.
There’s a strip of heavy cardboard with creases that, when folded, fits the inner circumfence of the top and bottom and is inserted in the bottom, there by forming a box with the top part serving as a lid. After filling the box, the top and bottom are secured with tape running around the sides to seal the seam.
I don’t know if this tape was made of paper or fabric. It appears to be fabric, but this might have depended on the manufacturer.
After sealing the box you should wax the whole box just like the K Rations inner carton. (Although I’m not 100% sure about waxing. The cardboard might have been wax-impregnated prior to assembly.)

There’s also an instruction sheet for the soldier on what to use for a meal and how to prepare the food. This leaflet is placed inside the box with the food items. This leaflet is copied from an original instruction sheet dated October 1943. However, I labeled it "4-44 H.F. [Holland Food] Co. Ltd." at the bottom.

Included are all the wrappers for the components. The paper I used is a brown kraft paper with a PE coating on the back to make it greaseproof. The labeling is in dark blue and reads: MEAT, TEA, OATMEAL and SALT.
24-Hour ration Tea box

A small cardboard box is included with each set. This box is 4 x 4 x 4 cm and is exactly the size of the TEA package. You can fill it with whatever you like. Or not use it at all.

I included two different labels for the tea to give you a little choice. There are also five sheets of glassine paper (8” x 8”) included to wrap the three chocolate bars in, leaving two extra sheets for packaging the individual tea blocks, bouillon cubes or boiled sweets.

The sheet labeled SALT needs to be cut and folded into some kind of envelope (two labels are included in case the first try goes wrong). All the other sheets are approximately one inch oversized so to fit whatever you are using and might need a little trimming.
