A buyer paying a premium expects a box that feels like a shop gift. Rigid board holds its shape through the post. A 10 pack covers a few premium sales a month. If you sell premium pieces each week, buy by the 25 or 50 and keep one or two sizes. ## Greyboard, closures and inserts Choose rigid greyboard wrapped in paper, with a magnetic flap or a lift-off lid. Measure your largest item against the internal dimensions, and pick a removable insert or a padded base so smaller items stay put. Matt black, white and kraft finishes suit most products. A ribbon or tab helps the buyer open the box, and reviews tell you whether the magnet closure feels firm. Rigid boxes arrive assembled and take up shelf space. Measure your storage before ordering a large pack. ## Packing a presentation box Place the item in the box with tissue or the insert, close the lid and add a sticker or ribbon. Pack the presentation box inside a plain outer carton, such as a small single-wall box or a double-wall carton for heavier items, with void fill on each side. Put the courier label on the outer box only. A label or tape on the presentation box can tear the paper wrap when the buyer removes it. Store presentation boxes stacked flat, lids closed, in a dust-free spot. Scuffs show on matt finishes. ## Jewellery boxes, dust bags and coin capsules Small jewellery boxes in a 50 pack cost less per box than this 10 pack and suit everyday rings and earrings. Use them for pieces selling under £50. For handbags, use cotton dust bags from a 10 pack as a soft cover. For coin sets, put each coin in a capsule from an assorted 100 pack, then place it in the presentation box. ## £1.80 to £3 a box, on items from £50 A ten-pack priced £18 to £30 puts each box at £1.80 to £3. That pays off on items selling for £50 or more. On cheaper pieces the box takes a large share of your margin. Price the box into the item, or add a gift-box option to the listing and let the buyer decide whether to pay for it. ## Common mistakes - Pack the presentation box inside a plain carton. Posted on its own, it arrives with dented corners. - Put the courier label on the outer carton. - An oversized box lets the item slide around, so add an insert or tissue. - Loose boxes in a cupboard scuff, so stack them flat with the lids closed. - Keep premium boxes for items selling at £50 or more. ## Guides - [Small business packaging ideas that look professional](https://sellersetups.com/guides/look-professional): Thank-you cards, stickers, a QR code and tidy mailers: small touches that make a home-packed parcel look like it came from a real shop. - [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 ### Do I need an outer box for a presentation box?
