An earring box is usually judged by its lid and its lining, and it is usually lost at the hole. A pair of studs is held by a post passing through a pierced card or a die-cut slot, and that one interface sets two absolute dimensions against each other - the post and the opening - while the board around them is chosen for reasons of its own. This guide follows the interface from the drawing to the first sample, and it leaves box-format selection to the articles that already compare formats.
Read More A small jewelry box is not a large one reduced on a photocopier. Board thickness, hinge walls, crease widths and magnet size stay at their absolute values while the box around them gets smaller, so every fixed dimension takes a larger share of the panel that carries it. This guide follows the dimension chain from the outer face to the content it has to hold, and it leaves the commercial side of small boxes - pricing, order quantity and shipping arithmetic - to the articles that already cover it.
Read More Costume and fashion jewellery is sold on a finish, and that finish is a very thin deposit of metal over a much more reactive base. The packaging decision that matters is therefore not how soft the lining feels but how much of that deposit survives the trip from the bench to the counter. This guide follows the plating rather than the occasion: where a piece touches its packaging, which contacts remove metal, what a gap in the deposit lets through, and which lines belong on the order.

Read More A diamond-set piece inverts the usual brief for jewellery packaging. In most categories the box is the aggressor: it can dull a finish, imprint a lining, or press against a soft stone. Diamond is the hardest material the package will ever hold, so wear runs the other way, and the lining, the lacquer, the plating and the neighbouring piece are what must survive. This guide treats the category as a contact problem: which points touch what, which surfaces survive repeated placement, and which lines belong in the specification.
Read More A pink packaging order is rarely a colour choice; it is a tolerance problem. Pink sits in the low-chroma region where the eye resolves hue drift most sharply, and one approved reference reads three ways once it lands on coated board, on velvet and on satin. This guide treats blush, rose and pastel as specifications to be bounded rather than names to be repeated — how to state the tolerance, which substrate the standard is judged on, and where pink goes wrong on a production floor.
