What the market buys
South Sea and freshwater pearls, gold, and devotional pieces, sold through malls, independents and a large overseas-Filipino gifting channel.
What that means for the box
Pearls set the brief. Nacre abrades against anything textured, so the channel needs to be smooth and the clasp needs a keeper. This is the single most common mistake we see corrected.
Practical considerations
A great deal of jewellery here is posted abroad as a gift. A box that fits a standard mailer without an outer carton saves the retailer money on every parcel.
Getting it to the Philippines
Sea into Manila for a run, air into Manila or Cebu for samples. Island distribution inland is a separate leg. Typhoon season affects the schedule more than it affects the sailing itself.
Working with buyers in the Philippines
Pearls and gold, with a large overseas-Filipino gifting channel that posts abroad. Retailers who post a lot will ask for a box sized to a standard mailer, and working the exterior dimensions back from the mailer is the right way round.
Made to your brand
Every box we make carries your name, your colours and your logo, and nothing on it identifies us. Where you are supplying a client under their brand, that is standard OEM work for us.
