Keeping the two together
The paper is worth money only while it is with the piece. A recess in the base, a pocket under the interior or a sleeve in the lid all solve this, and which one suits depends on how often the document is taken out.
For a document that is filed and rarely seen, a recess under the interior is tidiest. For one a customer will show people, a sleeve in the lid is better.
Sizing
Certificate sizes vary by laboratory and warranty booklets vary by brand, so the recess is cut to the actual document rather than to a standard. Send us one, or its dimensions.
Protecting it
Paper against a raw board edge curls and eventually tears at the corner. A faced recess or a sleeve solves it, and it is a detail that separates a considered box from one that simply has a gap in it.
Separate folders
Where documents are substantial — a full appraisal, an insurance valuation, a service history — a separate matching folder is often better than forcing a thick document into a box. It can be made in the same material and colour so it reads as part of the set.
Digital does not replace it
Customers still expect the physical document with the piece, and a resale buyer certainly does. A QR code in the lid is a useful addition and not a substitute.
At a glance
| Document | Where it goes |
|---|---|
| Stone report | A recess under the interior, faced |
| Warranty booklet | A sleeve in the lid, if the customer will handle it |
| Provenance note | Inside the lid, or a card sized to the interior |
| Full appraisal | A separate matching folder, not forced into the box |
Frequently asked questions
Can you cut a recess for a certificate?
Yes, cut to the actual document rather than to a standard size. Send us one or its dimensions.
Where is the best place for a warranty booklet?
A sleeve in the lid if the customer will take it out; a recess under the interior if it is simply being kept with the piece.
Can you make a matching document folder?
Yes, in the same material and colour, made in the same run so it matches.
Will paper get damaged in the box?
Against a raw board edge, yes — it curls and tears at the corner. A faced recess or a sleeve prevents it.
