Overview & Specifications
What Are Jewelry Pillow Boxes?
Jewelry pillow boxes are pillow boxes used for light jewelry: a curved folding box with the piece on a card, in a pouch or in tissue. They give a gift presentation without the structure of a rigid box.
Jewelry Pillow Boxes sit in the Pillow Boxes range and under Jewelry Packaging.
What it has to do
What Jewelry Needs from a Pillow Box
Jewelry in a pillow box needs a way to hold the piece, a size that fits the pouch or card, light presentation and separate protection for shipping. Each need below is matched to the option that meets it.
01
Way
A Way to Hold the Piece
Earrings sit on a card, chains in a pouch and bracelets in tissue. The holder keeps the piece from sliding.02
Size
A Size That Fits the Holder
The box is sized to the pouch, card or wrapped piece, not to the jewelry alone.03
Retention
Retention From the Insert
A pillow box is a folding carton. Retention depends on the fitted insert; rigid boxes offer another presentation format.04
Separate
Separate Shipping Protection
The pillow box does not protect jewelry in the mail. Parcels ship in an outer box such as Jewelry Shipping Boxes.

| Piece | Type and size |

Check the Piece on a Sample
Pack a sample with the piece in its holder and close both ends. Check that it does not slide and the box closes without pressing it.
What to Check Before Bulk Production
Review a sample packed with the piece in its holder and printed with the final artwork. Record the approved size and holder on the signed-off sample.
| If the sample shows | Review before approval |
|---|---|
| Piece slides inside | Use a card or pouch, or reduce the size |
| Pouch pressed flat | Review size and board on a new sample |
| Ends will not stay closed | Review the dieline and board on a sample |
| Logo distorted on the curve | Move it to the central area of the bowed panel, checked on an assembled sample |
Seven days covers standard production from approved proof once the specification is confirmed; delivery timing is confirmed separately.
