News and Events

Our BoxLife Store Has Come to Life!

At Ortus, we are living the #BoxLife. This encompasses taking pride in all things #Box, as well as creating new products that align with our pillars of modernization and innovation. It was then that our designers were tasked with creating designs that would represent what we love and do.

For our debut, we chose Astro Girl, which symbolizes the strength and ambition of women in every field. Next, we have our Love for Coding design. This one came about in our February blogs and newsletter. What else could better represent us than our love for coding? Following we have our Modernize or Die art. There is no way we could exclude our motto and guiding principle.  Up next, we have our ColdBox hero. Our beloved logos were also taken into consideration and were given a line just for them. We will be adding more of these in due time.
