Tolerances & fit
- Rigid boxes: dimensional tolerance ±1–2 mm.
- Leave 1–2 mm clearance around inserts; confirm chain slack so clasps don’t scuff.
Materials & Construction
- Rigid board (greyboard): 1.2 / 1.5 / 2.0 / 2.5 mm (thicker → stiffer walls & lid alignment).
- Black wraps: premium black specialty or black card 120–157 gsm; optional anti-scratch / anti-fingerprint coatings.
- Alternatives: for lightweight SKUs, a 300–400 gsm black paperboard folding carton variant.
- Inserts: velvet / suede / satin pads, flocked EVA (25–35 kg/m³), precision-cut foam, or paperboard trays for mono-material builds.
Closures & Unboxing
- Magnetic closure: single/double/four-point magnets; tune pull strength for retail vs. shipping.
- Ribbon tie / pull tab: satin or grosgrain; aids opening and adds a giftable cue.
- Friction fit: calibrated sleeve/liner tolerance for a smooth glide.
- UX touches: finger notches, lift ribbons under pads, card pocket for care/warranty.
Finishes & Branding
- Surfaces: matte, soft-touch, or anti-scratch (recommended for deep black).
- Brand marks: foil stamping (gold/silver/rose/black), emboss/deboss, spot UV accents, edge gilding for hero editions.
- Art guardrails: minimum line weight ≥0.3 mm; keep foil coverage ≤10–15% of face for a refined look; request drawdowns on live stock.
Protection & Durability
- Transport set-up: poly sleeve or tissue wrap per box, corner protectors for master cartons, optional desiccant.
- Common checks: rub/abrasion on edges (esp. soft-touch), magnet hold test, corner drop within outer shipper.
- Insert support: choose denser EVA for heavier stones/metal; avoid free play that causes micro-scuffs.
Retail Display & Sets
- Display-ready angles: book-style held at 30–45° with a hidden ribbon stay; drawer boxes with exposed pulls.
- Set builds: multi-cavity EVA/velvet trays, layered drawers, and dedicated card slots for certificates or QR authentication.
E-commerce Bundles
- Ready-to-Ship kit: box + velvet pouch + thank-you card + microfiber cloth + brand seal sticker.
- Mailing outer: right-sized mailer with easy-open strip; add foam corners or wrap for soft-touch finishes.
- Unboxing path: one-pull reveal; keep inner message above the product, not beneath.
Sustainability
- Fiber: FSC-certified options; recycled content on wraps and boards on request.
- Chemistry: water-based glues/inks; film-light or film-free soft-touch where feasible.
- Magnet-free option: ribbon/friction closures; paperboard or molded-fiber inserts for mono-material builds.
- On-pack guidance: plain-language disposal notes (“Remove magnet/ribbon before recycling” if applicable).

FAQ
Will soft-touch finishes show fingerprints?
Modern soft-touch with anti-fingerprint blends holds up well; for heavy retail handling, add anti-scratch or choose matte.
Can I avoid magnets for recyclability?
Yes—use ribbon or friction closures and paperboard inserts for a mono-material build.
How small can my foil logo be?
Keep strokes ≥0.3 mm and minimum letter height ≥3–4 mm for clean edges on textured wraps.
Can one insert work for several SKUs?
We can design modular cavities (e.g., ring pad + channel) to cover multiple SKUs in a single tray.
What tolerances should I expect?
Rigid boxes typically hold ±1–2 mm; we tune fit with insert compression and ribbon assists.
Are these boxes suitable for shipping?
Yes—pair with a mailer and protective wrap; we provide a “ready-to-ship” outer for DTC programs.
What’s the usual MOQ and lead time?
MOQs 500–2,000 depending on spec; lead times 15–30 days after approvals.

A single system that does it all: luxury black finish, rigid protection, tailored inserts, and brand-defining details—optimized for retail display and DTC unboxing.
