Blush in board, specifically
Blush prints cleanly and it is the cheapest way to put this colour in a customer's hands. The creases show white, which on a pale pink is far less damaging than on a dark colour.
What blush does for the piece
A warm, pale ground that sits in the same family as rose gold without matching it, which is what makes that pairing work. It photographs well, which is most of why contemporary brands choose it.
What blush shows
Pale colours show dye-lot variation more than dark ones, because there is less pigment to hide behind. Two runs of the same blush will look further apart on a shelf than two runs of black.
Which metals and stones blush suits
Rose gold, strongly. Against white metals it can read slightly cheap, which is worth testing before committing a range.
Why rigid board
Board wrapped in paper or textured stock. The lightest and most shippable of the constructions, and the one that gives the widest colour and texture range.
Putting your logo on rigid board
Board is the best surface of all for print. Foil, deboss, spot varnish and flat colour all work, and fine typography holds.
Cutting the interior in rigid board
A board box is built around its insert; the insert is usually a die-cut foam or board platform wrapped in the lining material.
Keep dry. Board recovers from a light knock better than lacquer, but a wet mark is permanent.
