What this construction is
A multi-compartment box divides one interior into separate seats, so a set travels and presents together without the pieces touching each other. It is the difference between a set box and a box with several things loose in it.
Rigid board on this construction, specifically
Board dividers are the economical answer and they work if the pieces are light. Under a heavy chain or bangle a board divider bows, and the compartment stops holding anything.
Getting the fit right
Divider height decides whether it works. Too low and a chain lifts over into the next compartment; too high and the pieces sit in wells and cannot be lifted out with one hand.
The mistake to avoid
Sizing every compartment the same is the standard error. A set is rarely made of equal pieces, and equal compartments mean one piece is held and the others rattle.
Where it is used
Bridal and gift sets, travel cases, and retail where a customer buys three pieces that will be worn together.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Is rigid board a good choice for a multi-compartment box?
Board dividers are the economical answer and they work if the pieces are light. Under a heavy chain or bangle a board divider bows, and the compartment stops holding anything.
How does rigid board wear on this construction?
Keep dry. Board recovers from a light knock better than lacquer, but a wet mark is permanent.
Can it be made in our colour?
Yes — the rigid board is matched to a Pantone reference or a physical swatch, and confirmed on a sample.
What logo methods suit rigid board?
Board is the best surface of all for print. Foil, deboss, spot varnish and flat colour all work, and fine typography holds.
Can I see it before ordering?
Yes. A physical pre-production sample is made to your specification and the bulk run is held to the sample you approve.
