Ivory in board, specifically
Ivory prints and folds better than white — the creases show a cream line rather than a stark white one, which is far less visible. For a folded box in a pale colour, this is the better specification.
What ivory does for the piece
Ivory is what white should have been — the same lightness, but repeatable across materials and across reorders in a way a true white is not. It is the traditional ground for pearls.
What ivory shows
Less than white, because there is less contrast. It yellows with age rather than looking dirty, which is a slower and more forgiving way to wear out.
Which metals and stones ivory suits
Pearls above all, then bridal, antique and estate pieces that a bright white would make look new.
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.
