What a men's chain box has to do
A deep channel and a keeper. A heavy curb chain has enough mass to move anything that is not held.
The moment it is opened
Frequently bought as a gift by someone who has not seen the piece, which puts weight on the exterior.
The mistake we correct most often
Underestimating the mass. A heavy curb chain has enough weight to move anything that is not physically held, and it will mark a lining doing it.
Rigid board on a men's chain box, specifically
A heavy chain will crush a light board box if the box is packed under others. Where a chain box in board is the brief, we specify a heavier board and say why.
What varies between versions
A deep single channel or a coiled seat. Coiling makes a much smaller box, which matters when a chain is long.
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.
