Green in board, specifically
Greens are among the harder colours to hold consistently in print across a long run, because the eye is unusually sensitive to green shifts. Start and end of run are compared before shipping.
What green does for the piece
A deep green is the traditional alternative to burgundy and it flatters both gold and silver without clearly favouring either. A muted sage reads contemporary and photographs well.
What green shows
Little at forest depth. The risk is the opposite one — under warm shop light a deep green reads as black, the same trap navy has.
Which metals and stones green suits
Yellow gold, silver and pearls. ⛔ Never behind an emerald, tsavorite, peridot or green tourmaline — a green ground takes the colour out of a green stone.
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.
