Jewelry packaging

Custom jewelry packaging is a small rigid box on 1000 to 1200 gsm board with a velvet-flocked insert cut to the piece, usually a lift-off, hinged or drawer style with one foil or deboss mark. Tria makes jewelry, ring, drawer and hinged lid boxes from 200 units, 12 to 14 business days after proof approval. A ring box is about 2 by 2 by 1.5 inches and a necklace box about 7 by 3.5 by 1.25.

Two box sizes cover most lines

A square box around 3.5 by 3.5 by 1.5 inches holds rings, earrings and pendants; a long box around 7 by 3.5 by 1.25 holds bracelets and necklaces laid flat. Ordering the same wrap and insert color in both keeps the line consistent and keeps each run at the minimum. Our jewelry box sizing guide has the details.

The insert matters more than the box

Velvet flocking protects polished metal and stops small pieces sliding. Ring slots, earring cushions and necklace channels are cut to the piece, so send the dimensions of each item with your brief. Flocked inserts are for jewelry, not food.

Ship it inside something

A jewelry box is a presentation piece. For mail orders, put it inside a padded or rigid mailer, or an E-flute mailer with an insert, so the wrap arrives unmarked. Dark linen with a champagne foil mark is the most reliable premium combination; soft-touch shows handling marks on dark colors.

Labeling notes

Claims printed on jewelry packaging, such as karat, plating or stone descriptions, fall under the FTC Guides for the Jewelry, Precious Metals, and Pewter Industries (16 CFR part 23), which apply to labeling and all forms of marketing. Keep those claims exact and matched to the piece.

This is packaging guidance, not legal advice.

Questions about jewelry packaging

Magnetic closure or drawer box for jewelry?

A magnetic closure box opens like a book and suits single rings, earrings and small pendants; the lid stays open while the customer looks. A drawer box slides out like a tray and suits longer or heavier pieces like bracelets and chains. Both run on 1000 to 1200 gsm board with a velvet-flocked insert. If the piece is wider than about 3 inches, the drawer box usually fits better.

What size should a jewelry box be?

About 2 by 2 by 1.5 inches for a single ring, around 3.5 by 3.5 by 1.5 for earrings and pendants, and around 7 by 3.5 by 1.25 for a necklace or bracelet laid flat.

What board do jewelry boxes use?

1000 gsm on small jewelry and ring boxes, 1200 gsm on boxes over about 6 inches or with a magnetic closure, and 1500 gsm on watch boxes.

What is the minimum for jewelry boxes?

200 units on jewelry, ring, drawer, hinged lid and watch boxes. Earring cards start at 500.

Can I see the materials before I order?

Yes. The Swatch Book is a free set of board, wrap and finish samples, including linen and other wraps, so you can choose with the material in your hand.
