What a bangle box has to do
A bangle is rigid and round, so it needs a circular well or a raised centre post that holds the ring of it upright. Laid flat in a rectangular cavity it rolls and knocks its own edge.
The moment it is opened
Bangles are often bought in pairs or worn stacked, so a box that takes two side by side sells better than one that takes a single.
The mistake we correct most often
A rectangular cavity. A bangle is a rigid ring — laid in a rectangle it rolls onto its own edge and knocks against the wall of the box.
Rigid board on a bangle box, specifically
A board well has to be built up in layers to get a circular seat, which is more work than it looks. Where cost is the reason for choosing board, a padded flat bed with a retaining band is the more sensible build.
What varies between versions
A circular well, or a raised centre post the bangle sits over. The post holds it upright and shows the profile; the well is quieter.
Why rigid board for this
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.
