We recently provided a handy guide to gift box sizes, to help you figure out which gift boxes are right for your store or event. The size chart did not cover the very smallest types of gift boxes: jewelry boxes. In part, this is because we all know the primary uses of jewelry boxes. Heck, the use is right there in the name: jewelry. But of course, there are different kinds of jewelry boxes for different kinds of jewelry. Not only that, retail jewelry boxes* come in many shapes, sizes, and styles, and have myriad uses beyond just being attractive jewelry containers.

“Jewelry boxes showcase my work,” says Eleanor Kennell, designer and metalsmith for EleanorJane Jewelry, a maker of quality hand-crafted jewelry in the Philadelphia area. “These are pieces I’ve put a lot of effort and thought into,” she continues. “And I want my customers to know they mean as much to me as I hope they will mean to them. Jewelry boxes protect and personalize each piece.”

The style of retail jewelry boxes can say a lot about the jewelry you sell and the way you want your store or business to be viewed. Earth-conscious jewelers may choose natural-brown kraft jewelry boxes; sellers who want to communicate a carefree, fun-loving vibe might consider assorted colors of jewelry boxes; elegant white boxes are a good stand-by for jewelers of all types. Specially designed View-It jewelry boxes have a clear plastic top, so the jewelry pieces shine through the box and make great display packaging.

S. Walter Packaging offers retail jewelry boxes in all these styles, in sizes suitable for a variety of jewelry, from small earrings to large necklaces. All our boxes are made in part from recycled paperboard and are available at wholesale prices on orders as low as 50 boxes. Boxes can also be custom printed with store or business info or logos.

*When we talk about gift or retail jewelry boxes we mean the packaging, those miniature gift boxes that hold earrings, necklaces, broaches, and other adornments. Retail jewelry boxes are usually made of cardboard, perhaps with a see-through plastic face. The term “jewelry box” can also refer to those large wooden cases with lots of drawers and hidden compartments, but these are less than ideal for individual jewelry piece packaging and transportation. “Jewelry box” is also used to describe ring boxes, padded jewelry holders.
