old style “caution” boxes
Technical manuals from the 60s and 70s sometimes had eye-catching CAUTION boxes surrounded by wavy or curly lines.
My best attempt at re-creating this is not ideal as I can't get the snake to line up on all corners:
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[very thick,decorate,
decoration={snake,segment length=9.5pt}]
(0,0) rectangle (140pt,40pt)
node[pos=0.5] {textbf{CAUTION}};
end{tikzpicture}
I would also be willing to use any other package which can produce fancy boxes with borders.

To very first approximation I would employ Jake's complete sines here to modify your proposal to
documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{decorations}
begin{document}
pgfdeclaredecoration{complete sines}{initial}
{
state{initial}[
width=+0pt,
next state=sine,
persistent precomputation={pgfmathsetmacromatchinglength{
pgfdecoratedinputsegmentlength / int(pgfdecoratedinputsegmentlength/pgfdecorationsegmentlength)}
setlength{pgfdecorationsegmentlength}{matchinglength pt}
}] {}
state{sine}[width=pgfdecorationsegmentlength]{
pgfpathsine{pgfpoint{0.25pgfdecorationsegmentlength}{0.5pgfdecorationsegmentamplitude}}
pgfpathcosine{pgfpoint{0.25pgfdecorationsegmentlength}{-0.5pgfdecorationsegmentamplitude}}
pgfpathsine{pgfpoint{0.25pgfdecorationsegmentlength}{-0.5pgfdecorationsegmentamplitude}}
pgfpathcosine{pgfpoint{0.25pgfdecorationsegmentlength}{0.5pgfdecorationsegmentamplitude}}
}
state{final}{}
}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[very thick,decorate,
decoration={complete sines,segment length=9.5pt}]
(0,0) rectangle (140pt,40pt)
node[pos=0.5] {textbf{CAUTION}};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
There are many conceivable ways to modify this, e.g.
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[very thick,decorate,
decoration={complete sines,segment length=9.5pt}]
(0,0) rectangle (140pt,40pt)
node[pos=0.5] {textbf{CAUTION}};
draw[very thick,decorate,
decoration={complete sines,segment length=9.5pt}]
(1pt,0.4pt) rectangle (141pt,40.4pt) ;
end{tikzpicture}
along with more fancy options.
