Inserts that hold the chain
Most of the photos in this range use the simplest version: a printed card with slits, the chain behind it and the pendant at the front, which also lets the brand print a message on the card.
| Card with two slits | Chain passes behind the card; pendant hangs on the front |
|---|---|
| Card with a hook notch | Clasp tucks into a notch at the top; chain falls straight down |
| Padded pillow insert | Chain wraps around a soft pad; for longer chains and sets |
| Flocked or velvet-look card | A soft surface behind fine gold and silver pieces |
Box shapes for necklaces
- Square lift-off lid boxes, about 3 x 3 in to 3.5 x 3.5 in, for pendants and short chains.
- Long rectangular boxes for longer chains and lariat styles laid out straight.
- Hinged boxes that stay open to display the piece on a counter.
- Drawer boxes with a ribbon pull for gift-wrapping without paper.
Small size, fine print
A necklace box lid is small, so a logo printed or foiled on it has to work at an inch or two across. Hairline foil detail fills in; keep foil lines at half a point or heavier. Blind embossing reads well at this size and pairs with matte papers. Pastel, ivory and deep blue wraps dominate this category because they look good next to gold and silver. Related boxes for studs and hoops are on our earring box page.
Shipping a necklace box inside a mailer
A small rigid box rattling around in a large mailer can dent or open. Online jewelry brands usually pair the necklace box with a snug outer mailer or a padded envelope, and a sleeve or a sticker across the lid keeps it shut. Our wider jewelry packaging range includes the mailers and pouches that go with it.
Send the chain length, the pendant size and whether the clasp should show; that decides the insert.

On every job
- Print process
- The wrap is printed offset as a flat sheet and applied to the board, so the print quality is that of a sheet rather than a box.
- Color
- CMYK on the wrap with spot colors for a brand match. A textured or soft-touch wrap mutes a solid color slightly.
- Tolerance
- Board cut plus or minus 0.5 mm. Lid fit is set on a sample and held on the run, with an allowance for the delivery climate.
- Tooling
- No cutting die on the box itself. The tooling is the wrap print and any foil or emboss die, made once and kept.
- Food contact
- A food-grade liner or an inner tray where a rigid box holds unwrapped food.
- Sustainability
- Board and paper recycle together. Magnets, ribbon and foam come out first, and the spec says which the box has.
- Artwork
- Vector PDF or AI, 3 mm bleed, 4 mm safe area, fonts outlined. We check every file and send a proof before press.
- Dieline
- Supplied free with the quote, before you commit. Yours whether or not you order.
- Sample
- A plain unprinted sample at the finished size on request, for fit and construction.
- Reorders
- Skip the tooling and go straight to press at a lower unit price.
- Lead time
- Quoted with the price against your fill date rather than promised before we have seen the spec.
- Markets
- United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia — priced in the delivery currency, freight included.
Boards and films we build necklace boxes on
A rigid box is two materials: the grayboard that holds the shape and the paper wrapped around it. The board decides the feel; the wrap decides everything a customer sees and touches.
Grayboard 1.2–1.5 mm
The light rigid box: jewelry, small cases, card boxes. Heavy in the hand for its size without thick walls on a small cavity.
1.2–1.5 mmGrayboard 2–3 mm
The full rigid box. Resists crushing, bends poorly — thickness is chosen from box size so a wide lid does not sag.
2–3 mmArt paper wrap
Printed coated paper, matte or gloss laminated. Full color, photographs, any design. The most flexible wrap and the least tactile.
128–157gsmSoft-touch wrap
A velvet-feel laminate over printed paper. Reads expensive, shows fingerprints on white, and scuffs at the corners before anywhere else.
128–157gsm laminatedLinen and textured wrap
Texture woven into the paper, so it cannot scuff off. Takes foil and deboss beautifully; breaks up a solid print.
120–140gsmLeather-grain and specialty
Embossed grain papers, metallics and colored stocks. One color and a foil mark, not a photograph.
120–160gsmFlocked and velvet liners
A short-fiber or woven pile for the interior and the insert. Holds a product without marking it and sets the color the piece is seen against.
Applied to board or foamMagnets and hardware
Neodymium magnets under the wrap, ribbon pulls, and hinges built from the wrap itself. Each is a line on the quote.
Per closureNot sure which? Say what goes in it and where it is sold — the material follows from that. Our notes on recycled, recyclable and compostable cover which claims each stock can honestly carry.
- 01
Send what you have
A dimension, a photograph beside a ruler, or the product itself. No technical drawing needed — that part is ours.
- 02
We quote and draw
A price, a dieline and a date come back together. If a different build would suit the product better, that is in the reply too.
- 03
Approve the dieline
The flat drawing is yours to check: which panel is the front, where the folds fall, how deep the cavity really is.
- 04
Artwork on the dieline
You place your design on the flat we sent, or we place it for you, and you see a proof before anything goes to press.
- 05
A sample if you want one
A plain unprinted sample at the finished size shows fit and construction — the things a drawing cannot.
- 06
Cut, printed, shipped
The die is cut once and kept, so every reorder skips the tooling and goes straight to press at a lower unit price.
Format
Vector PDF or AI where possible. Raster artwork at 300dpi at final size, in CMYK.
Bleed
3 mm past every trim line, so a fraction of drift on the cutter never leaves a white edge.
Safe area
Keep type and anything important 4 mm inside the cut and away from every fold.
Color
Convert to CMYK before sending. Uncoated stock prints lighter; a spot color is the only exact match.
Fonts
Outline them or supply the files. A missing font substitutes silently and the proof will not match.
Barcodes
On a light, matte, unvarnished patch with the quiet zone clear — a code on gloss fails the scanner.
Not set up that way? Send it anyway — fixing a file is a short conversation, and we check every one before press. Our guide to preparing print files covers each point.
On a rigid box the wrap is the finish, and the corners are where it is judged.
Soft-touch wrap
Velvet in the hand. The category default, and it scuffs at the corners first.
Linen and laid
Texture woven into the paper; hides marks and cannot rub off.
Hot foil
Stamped into the wrap. Small block, cheap die, large effect on a lid.
Blind deboss
Shape with no ink. On a textured wrap it is the quietest premium mark there is.
Spot UV on matte
A gloss shape on a matte field; a pattern that only shows at an angle.
Colored liner
A wrap on the inside face, seen for a second as the lid lifts. The cheapest thing that changes an opening.
Leather-grain
Embossed grain paper. One color and a foil mark, never a photograph.
Ribbon and hardware
A pull under the product, magnets under the wrap, a hinge built from the paper.
Not sure which suits the shelf it sells from? Say where the product is sold and we suggest one — our notes on specialty finishes show them on real boxes.
Sizing a rigid box, where the wrap is part of the wall: necklace boxes
A rigid box is built up rather than folded, so the internal size is set first and the board and wrap are added outside it. The lid is then made to fit the base, and that fit is the thing people judge.
- Internal dimensions
- The product plus its insert, at the widest point. Everything else is built outward from this number.
- Wall build-up
- Each wall is the grayboard plus the wrap on both faces — roughly 2.5 mm on a 2 mm board. A small box gains noticeably in outside size.
- Lid clearance
- A few tenths of a millimeter. Set on a plain sample: a slow, air-cushioned lift, not a lid that drops off or has to be prised.
- Insert depth
- The tallest item plus 2 mm. On a two-layer box, this sets the total height and the ribbon lift.
- Humidity
- Board takes up moisture and a lid set snug in a dry factory can bind in a damp shop. We allow for the delivery market.
- Tolerance
- Plus or minus 0.5 mm on a rigid box, tighter than folding board because nothing springs back.
Not sure your numbers are right? Send the product dimensions rather than the box dimensions and we work the box out — the full method is in our guide to measuring for a box.

Frequently asked questions
Got a question about necklace boxes? The answers below cover what we get asked most. If yours is not here, send it with a brief, message us on WhatsApp, or call +1 503-461-4788 — we reply the same working day.
How do necklace boxes stop chains tangling?
The insert holds the chain still: it passes behind a slit card, tucks into a notch, or wraps around a pad.
What size is a standard necklace box?
About 3 x 3 inches for pendants and short chains. Longer chains use a rectangular box cut to their length.
Can the insert card in a necklace box be printed?
Yes. The card behind the pendant can carry your logo, the piece name or a short message.
Are necklace boxes available with a hinged lid?
Yes. Hinged boxes stay open on a counter and show the necklace without the customer holding the lid.
Can necklace boxes have foil logos?
Yes. Keep foil lines at half a point or heavier, because fine detail fills in at the size of a necklace box lid.
Can a necklace box hold a matching set?
Yes. A larger box with a padded or card insert can hold a necklace with matching earrings or a bracelet.
Do necklace boxes need an outer mailer for shipping?
Usually. A snug mailer or padded envelope stops the small box moving and denting in transit.
Can necklace boxes use velvet-look inserts?
Yes. A flocked card gives a soft surface behind fine gold and silver pieces.
Are drawer-style necklace boxes available?
Yes. A drawer box with a ribbon pull slides open and suits gifts that are not wrapped in paper.
Can necklace boxes be made in pastel colors?
Yes. Pastel, ivory and deep blue wraps are common because they set off gold and silver.
What do you need to quote necklace boxes?
The chain length, pendant size and the insert style you want, plus the quantity. A dieline comes with the quote.
