Custom packaging for jewelry

TL;DR Jewelry sells on perceived value, so the packaging usually earns a rigid box or a drawer (matchbox) box with a foam or velvet insert. Budget $1.50 to $6 a unit at 1,000 pieces. Soft-touch lamination and foil are the finishes that read as luxury.

Jewelry packaging is half the product experience. The box has to feel heavier than the buyer expects and the insert has to hold the piece dead still. We build these on greyboard with a wrap, not on folding card, because the rigidity is the whole point.
