Why this box

When box inserts are the right call

Buy an insert the moment anything inside the box can move. It is one of the cheapest upgrades in packaging, from about 80 cents at volume, and it decides whether a box arrives feeling considered or sounding like a maraca. Around glass it stops being an upgrade and starts being the point.

How it is made

What happens on press

Cut from corrugate, chipboard or foam to the shape of your product, then dropped into the box you were already buying. No printing and no gluing, so the die is the only real setup and a repeat of the same insert is straightforward.

Sizes

Will your product fit?

Three sizes that cover most orders. They are a starting point rather than a menu, because every box is cut to your own measurements, so if your product lands between two rows we make the one in between.

What we'd suggest

What jewelry & watches brands usually order

Rigid boxes with a foam or fabric insert, in small sizes and small quantities, because somebody making pieces by hand does not need a thousand boxes. The insert is not optional here and it frequently costs more than the board around it, which surprises people and is the correct way round for a product this small and this valuable.

Worth knowing

A mistake worth avoiding

Matching the box to the piece rather than to the range. A different size for every design means a hundred boxes of each, no volume anywhere, and a storeroom full of odd counts. Pick two sizes that cover most of what you make and order both properly.

What you get

Why jewelry & watches brands choose these

  • Foam, corrugated, paperboard or molded pulp
  • Cut to your product's exact shape
  • Holds multi piece sets in place
  • Doubles as protection, so fewer breakages

Worth comparing before you order

Box Inserts are not the only format that suits jewelry and watch brands. These are the others we would put in front of you, and we will tell you if one of them is cheaper for what you actually ship.

Straight answers

Questions

If yours is not here, just ask. A real person reads every message and you will not get signed up to a mailing list for it.

Ask us anything

Why custom box inserts for jewelry and watch brands?

The box is part of the product with jewelry. A thin one undoes the price you just charged. Rigid boxes with foam or fabric inserts that hold a piece properly, at quantities an independent maker can actually order.

What is the smallest order?

100 boxes, which is a realistic first run for a growing jewelry & watches brand. You get a proper printed box without committing to thousands of them.

What does a run actually cost?

Box Inserts start at 80 cents an insert at volume. A first run of 100 to 250 lands higher per box, because the setup costs the same whatever the quantity. Use the estimator on this page for a range, then ask for a real number.

Can you match our brand colors and finish?

Yes. We print in full color to match your brand, and offer finishes like matte, gloss, soft touch and foil. The design help is free. Colour on press is close to a screen rather than identical, so send a Pantone reference if you have one and we will hold to it as tightly as the process allows.

What artwork do you need?

A vector logo, so an AI, EPS or PDF file. If you only have a PNG, send it and we will tell you honestly whether it prints cleanly at that size. Redrawing a simple logo is part of the free design work, not an extra charge.

How long until they arrive?

Production on box inserts runs 3 to 5 days once you approve the digital proof, then a few days in transit anywhere in the lower 48. If you have a launch date, tell us the date and we will say honestly whether it is possible.

Will I get exactly the quantity I ordered?

Usually, and plan for up to 10 percent either way. Over and under runs are standard across printed packaging, because sheets get used up getting the press dialled in. Tell us the number you cannot go below and we will run to that instead.

Can we start small and reorder later?

That is the sensible way to do it. Order 100 to prove the size and the artwork, then order properly once you know the box is right. We keep your artwork and your dieline on file, so a reorder is one message and the same box turns up again at the same specification.

What goes wrong most often on a first order?

Ordering before measuring. A box a few millimetres too big lets the product rattle around, and a box a few millimetres too small is scrap. Print our free dieline at full size, fold it around the actual product, then order. It costs an afternoon and it can save the whole run.

Do box inserts ship flat or assembled?

Flat in almost every case, which is good news for your freight bill, because flat board packs tight and you are not paying to ship air. Rigid boxes are the exception: they cannot be knocked down, which is part of why they cost more to send.

Can we see one before we commit?

Yes, and you should. The sample pack is free, shipping is $9.95 flat and comes off your first order, and board thickness and finish are the two things a screen genuinely cannot show you. For a jewelry & watches product the thing worth checking is how the board behaves at the size you actually need.
