A slat box for holding two or more slat stock rolls during the fabrication of metal window blinds. The slat box comprises a housing defining a plurality of equally sized adjacent compartments therein. Each of the stock rolls is interfaced to a respective compartment via the receipt of axle members inserted through the stock rolls into corresponding pairs of inserts attached to the side walls and partition members defining the compartments within the housing. The slat box further includes a rod member insertable through the inserts and axle members for preventing the stock rolls from being lifted out their respective compartments. Additionally, brake members are provided which are disposed between the stock rolls and inserts for preventing "free-wheeling" of the stock rolls from occurring.
