Drawer Jewelry Boxes

Custom Drawer Jewelry Boxes for Rings, Necklaces, Earrings, and Sets

What drawer jewelry packaging is used for

A drawer box opens in two steps. The tray slides out of the sleeve, and the jewelry appears as the tray clears the edge. That small moment suits a ring, a necklace, or a keepsake gift. Drawer jewelry packaging holds rings, pendants, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, watches, and small sets. Jewelers, online brands, boutiques, and makers choose a drawer box for gift giving, retail counters, and shipping, because the sleeve keeps the tray closed and protects the pieces. The tray can be pulled out and reused as a small keepsake case, which gives the buyer a reason to keep the box.

Sizes and how to measure

Measure each piece at its largest point. For a ring, take the band diameter and the stone height. For a necklace, take the pendant size and decide whether the chain lies flat or curves. For earrings, take the length and the post. For a bracelet, take the length and the width. For a set, measure every piece and choose a layout. Allow 1/8 to 1/4 inch of clearance around each piece. A drawer box also needs a small gap between the tray and the sleeve so it slides without catching. We set that gap when we build the dieline.

Example sizes (examples only, length x width x height in inches; your jewelry sets the final size):

• Ring drawer box: 3 x 3 x 1.75
• Earring or pendant drawer box: 3.5 x 3.5 x 1.25
• Necklace drawer box: 7 x 5 x 1.5
• Bracelet drawer box: 8 x 3.5 x 1.5
• Jewelry set drawer box: 8 x 6 x 2

Box styles and closures

The standard drawer box is a rigid tray inside a rigid sleeve. A ribbon pull is a short band of satin ribbon attached to the tray, and it lifts the tray out with one finger. A finger notch is a half circle cut into the sleeve, and a thumb tab is a small flap on the tray. A magnetic closure can hold the tray shut inside the sleeve. A two drawer box stacks two trays in one sleeve for a set. A drawer box in a mailer carton protects the box in the mail. These styles can be made as drawer jewelry box packaging for retail or for shipping.

Materials and thickness

Rigid drawer boxes use greyboard of about 1.5 to 2 mm under a printed wrap. The wrap can be coated paper, textured paper, or fabric. The sleeve can be a thinner board of about 300 to 400 GSM paperboard wrapped around the tray for a lighter box. Kraft board gives a natural look. For mail, an E-flute corrugated mailer adds crush protection. Exact thickness is confirmed for each order, and the tray and sleeve are matched so the drawer slides with a light, even pull. Every box uses eco-friendly materials sourced from certified suppliers, and recycled paperboard and kraft board are available.

Printing, coatings, and finishes

Print full color CMYK or match your brand with Pantone spot colors, on the outside only or the outside and inside. Matte lamination looks calm, gloss adds shine, and soft-touch adds a velvety feel that suits jewelry. Spot UV can pick out the logo, and foil in gold, silver, or rose gold adds an accent. Embossing and debossing add texture to a name. Drawer jewelry boxes with logo on the sleeve and a printed tray give two surfaces for your brand, one on the outside and one that appears as the drawer opens. Custom drawer jewelry packaging can also carry a hang tag, a care card, or a brand card.

Inserts and windows

A paperboard insert sits in the tray and holds each piece in place. A ring gets a slot that holds the band upright, a necklace gets a pendant slot and a chain channel, earrings get slits or posts, and a bracelet gets a bar or a curved holder. The insert can be covered in paper or fabric in a color that suits the metal, such as black for silver and gold, or cream for rose gold. A set tray has a section for every piece. A shallow second layer can sit under a lift-out tab. A window is rarely used on a drawer box, because the reveal comes from the sliding tray. A small pocket can hold a card, a certificate, or a polishing cloth.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline with the tray and the sleeve laid out for your jewelry. Supply artwork as a vector AI or PDF file with fonts outlined and images at 300 DPI in CMYK. If you have no artwork yet, free design support and a free consultation are included, and our team can help lay out the sleeve, the tray, and the inside from your logo and brand colors. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
