They also hold a single coin, as long as it 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 stock two sizes. ## Inserts, lids and outer depth Pick kraft or plain paperboard boxes with a foam insert. Rings sit in a slit in the foam; earrings hang through holes in a card insert; chains and bracelets lie flat. Note the outer size, since a deep box makes a fat envelope that is easier to crush. Lids either lift off or slide. Lift-off lids look more like a store box, while slide-out boxes stay shut better in transit. Plain kraft takes a sticker or a stamp with your shop name. ## Packing a jewelry order Clean the piece, seat it in the foam, and wrap chains around a small card so they cannot tangle. Close the box and seal it with a sticker. Put the box in a #0 or #1 padded envelope or a small box, weigh it to the ounce, and buy a Ground Advantage label. Most single pieces stay in the lightest weight tier. Bag loose findings or a pair of studs in a small zip bag first, so a stud cannot slip out of the box. ## Presentation boxes, tissue or coin capsules Rigid presentation boxes suit higher-value pieces, such as gold, sterling or vintage watches, where the buyer expects a sturdier gift box. For low-priced costume jewelry, a small zip bag in a sheet of acid-free tissue paper costs less. For coins, capsules protect the surface better than foam. ## About 20 to 30 cents for a gift-ready box Fifty boxes at $10 to $16 works out at roughly 20 to 30 cents each. For a gift, a clean box sealed with a sticker saves your buyer hunting for wrapping paper. ## Common mistakes - Seat the ring in the slit. Dropped in loose, it rattles around the box. - Wrap a chain around a card first. Shipped loose, it arrives tangled. - A deep box bulges the envelope and invites crushing, so match the box to the piece. - 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 ship jewelry safely in the US](https://sellersetups.com/us/guides/post-jewellery-safely): Pick the USPS service and coverage that fits a ring or a gold coin, pack it so nothing rattles, and keep the proof you need if a claim comes. ## Questions ### Will a jewelry box fit in a padded envelope? Small boxes fit a #0 or #1 padded envelope. Check the outer size in the listing against the envelope. ### 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 jewelry. ### 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.
