Necklace Boxes

Custom Necklace Boxes for Chains, Pendants, and Jewelry Sets

What necklace packaging is used for

A necklace is long and fine, so it tangles easily and needs a box that keeps it flat and in place. The box also has to look the part, because a necklace is a popular gift. Necklace packaging holds chains, pendants, chokers, lockets, layered necklaces, and pearl strands, as well as sets that pair a necklace with earrings or a bracelet. Jewelers, online shops, and makers use necklace boxes for retail counters, gift giving, shipping, and trade shows. A good box carries the brand name on the lid, shows the pendant when it opens, and ships well inside a larger carton or mailer.

Sizes and how to measure

Lay the necklace flat the way it will sit in the box, and measure the length, the width, and the height of the pendant or clasp. Most necklaces are packed in a gentle curve or laid straight, so decide on the layout first. A longer chain can be folded in the box or laid in a curve to keep the box small. For a set, measure each piece and choose a layout. Allow 1/8 to 1/4 inch of clearance around the necklace. Send us the numbers and we build the dieline around them.

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

• Pendant box: 3.5 x 3.5 x 1
• Choker box: 5 x 5 x 1
• Standard necklace box: 7 x 5 x 1.25
• Long chain box: 9 x 4 x 1.25
• Necklace and earring set: 8 x 6 x 1.5

Box styles and closures

A magnetic closure rigid box is the standard choice for custom necklace boxes, because it closes with a click and feels like a gift. A lift-off lid box shows the necklace when the lid comes off. A drawer box slides out like a small case and suits a keepsake piece. A sleeve box slides over a tray for a clean look. A mailer box carries a necklace box through the mail without a second carton. A ribbon pull or a satin ribbon adds a gift feel. These styles can be made as necklace box packaging for retail or for shipping.

Materials and thickness

Rigid boxes use greyboard of about 1.5 to 2 mm under a printed wrap, which gives the walls and lid a firm feel and keeps a long box from bending. Folding cartons use paperboard of about 300 to 400 GSM and suit a light, low cost box. Kraft board gives a natural look. For mail, E-flute corrugated mailers add crush protection. Exact thickness is confirmed for each order. 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. Necklace boxes with logo on the lid and a printed inside lid help the buyer remember the gift. Custom necklace packaging can also carry a hang tag or a brand card. For luxury necklace packaging, a rigid box with a soft-touch coating, a foil logo, and a satin ribbon is a common choice, and a simple color wrap in navy, blush, or black keeps the focus on the piece.

Inserts and windows

A paperboard insert holds the necklace flat. The insert can have a slit for the clasp, small notches that hold the chain in a curve, and a slot or a hole for the pendant, so the necklace does not shift. It 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. For a set, the insert has a section for each piece. A necklace box rarely needs a window, because the point is to reveal the piece when it is opened. Custom necklace packaging can also include a small pocket for a card or a certificate.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline sized to your necklace. 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 lid, the sides, and the inside from your logo and brand colors. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
