What a signet ring box has to do
A signet shank is two to three times the width of a band, and the face sits proud. Both the slot and the lid clearance change.
The moment it is opened
Signets are heritage pieces and the box is expected to have some weight to it.
The mistake we correct most often
Cutting the slot to a band width. A signet shank is two to three times wider and the face sits proud, so both the slot and the lid clearance change together.
Rigid board on a signet ring box, specifically
Board is honest but light, and a signet is heavy. If the box is meant to feel like the ring, this is the wrong material; if it is a delivery box for a piece that goes into a customer's own box, it is the right one.
What varies between versions
A flat pad that shows the face, or a slot that holds the shank upright. Engraved signets are usually shown face-up, which argues for the pad.
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.
