They also hold a single coin, as long as the coin sits in a capsule first. Your buyer can hand it over as a gift without repacking. A 50 pack covers a small-batch maker for several weeks. If you ship more than a few orders a day, buy in hundreds and keep two sizes. ## Inserts, lids and outer depth Pick kraft or plain card boxes with a foam insert. Rings sit in a slit in the foam; earrings fit through holes in a card insert; chains and bracelets lie flat. Note the outer dimensions, since a box that is too deep can push a padded envelope beyond the slimmest postage size. Lids either lift off or slide. Lift-off lids look more like a shop box, while slide-out boxes stay closed better in transit. Plain kraft boxes take a sticker or a stamp if you want your shop name on them. ## Packing jewellery Clean the piece, place it in the foam, and wrap chains round a small card so they cannot tangle. Close the box and seal it with a sticker. Put the box in a D/1 padded envelope or a small box. Measure the thickness of the packed envelope before you choose postage, and compare it with the Royal Mail size table for that format. Bag loose findings or a pair of studs in a grip seal bag first, so a stud can't fall out of the box. ## Presentation boxes, tissue or coin capsules Rigid presentation boxes suit higher-value pieces, such as gold, silver or vintage watches, where the buyer expects a sturdier gift box. For low-priced costume jewellery, a small grip seal bag inside a sheet of acid-free tissue paper costs less. For coins, capsules protect the surface better than foam. ## 16p to 28p for a gift-ready box Fifty boxes at £8 to £14 works out at 16p to 28p apiece. For a gift, a clean box sealed with a sticker saves your buyer finding wrap. ## Common mistakes - Seat the ring in the slit. Dropped in loose, it rattles around the box. - Wrap a chain round a card first. Posted loose, it arrives tangled. - Too deep a box pushes the parcel up a size, so measure the packed envelope. - Close each box with a sticker, or it can open in transit. - Foam alone can scratch a coin, so put the coin in a capsule before it goes in the box. ## Guides - [How to post jewellery safely in the UK](https://sellersetups.com/guides/post-jewellery-safely): Pick the Royal Mail service that covers a ring or a gold coin, pack it so nothing rattles, and keep the proof you need if a claim comes. ## Questions ### Will a jewellery box fit in a padded envelope? Small boxes fit in a D/1 envelope. Measure the packed thickness before choosing postage. ### Do I need a different insert for rings and earrings? Rings sit in a foam slit; earrings often need a card insert with holes. The pack contents list which you get. ### Kraft or white boxes? Kraft hides scuffs and suits handmade shops. White looks cleaner for fine jewellery. ### Can I print my logo on the box? Plain kraft takes a sticker or stamp. Custom-printed boxes cost more and need larger orders. ### Are these boxes good for coins? With a capsule first, yes. The foam alone can mark a coin's surface.
