Charities, mosques, malls and brands all use the same workhorse: a clear acrylic box with a slot and a lock. Here is how they are specified, what they cost in Dubai, and what matters when you order fifty rather than one.

A counter-top donation or suggestion box in 3 to 5mm clear acrylic with a hinged, lockable lid runs AED 150 to 400. Floor-standing versions on a pedestal run AED 600 to 1,200. Tombola and raffle drums with rotating handles are custom builds, typically AED 800 upward.
Specify a cam lock rather than a padlock hasp for counter boxes; it looks cleaner and is harder to pry. Slot size matters more than people expect: notes fold differently than coins and envelopes need 150mm or wider. For public placement, bond the box to its base so the whole unit cannot walk away.
UV-printed logos and campaign messaging turn a plain box into campaign material. For Ramadan campaigns and mall activations we print directly on the acrylic rather than applying stickers, which peel in air-conditioned to outdoor transitions.
Multi-branch campaigns need identical units. From one CAD file we cut batches of 20 to 200 boxes with consistent slots, locks keyed alike if requested, and delivery scheduled branch by branch across all seven emirates.
Budget AED 150 to 400 per counter box, specify cam locks and generous slots, and order the whole campaign batch from one workshop so every branch matches.
