How to write the right brief when ordering rigid cardboard boxes for gold, silver and fine jewelry brands.
When ordering rigid cardboard boxes for a jewelry brand, the quality of the brief you send to the manufacturer directly affects both the end product and your lead time. The following seven parameters form the backbone of a solid brief.
1. Box Dimensions (Inner and Outer)
The inner dimensions must allow the product — ring, bracelet, necklace — to sit comfortably without shifting. The outer dimensions should align with display shelves, showcase trays or gift bags. Always state both in millimetres.
2. Covering Material (Velvet, Paper, PU Leather)
The most common options are fabric velvet, matte or gloss paper laminate, and PU (synthetic leather). In the jewelry segment, black or navy velvet covering signals premium quality; custom paper covering matched to brand colours ensures visual consistency across packaging.
3. Inner Insert or Cushion (Foam, Velvet Pad)
Specify the insert that holds the product securely during transit and display. A die-cut foam or ring cushion works for rings; a roll holder or flat velvet base suits necklaces. Include insert height and firmness in the brief.
4. Colour and Print (Pantone Code, Emboss, Foil)
Always provide your brand colour as a Pantone or CMYK reference — vague descriptions like "gold tone" leave too much room for error. Also specify the print technique (offset, digital), any embossing or debossing, and foil application (gold foil, silver foil, holographic).
5. MOQ and Volume Tiers
Emsa Pack's minimum order for jewelry boxes is 50 units. Unit cost decreases significantly at higher tiers (250, 500, 1000+). If you run seasonal campaigns, ask for tiered pricing in the initial quotation.
6. Lead Time and Quality Control
Standard production is 10–12 business days; add 1–2 days for print proof approval. You may request quality checks for print colour consistency, magnetic lid strength, and covering abrasion resistance.
7. Shipping and Packaging
Boxes are delivered packed in inner cartons. Export documentation and product details are provided on request. We recommend shock-absorbing outer packaging given the fragile nature of jewelry.
We manufacture in the jewelry category from a minimum of 50 units. Request a quote and speak with our production team to prepare a brief tailored to your brand.
