What the market buys
Filigree, gold, silver and religious pieces, sold both through domestic retail and a busy tourist trade.
What that means for the box
Filigree is fragile and open-worked. It catches on anything with a nap, so the interior needs a smooth pad or a shaped seat rather than a textured lining.
Practical considerations
Devotional pieces are frequently bought as gifts to be carried abroad. A box that travels flat in a suitcase is worth more here than one that displays well but crushes.
Getting it to Portugal
Sea into Leixões or Lisbon for a run, air into Lisbon or Porto for samples. Leixões serves the Porto filigree and gold trade directly, which is where most of the manufacturing sits.
Working with buyers in Portugal
A manufacturing country with a strong export trade, so buyers often need packaging that ships onward with the goods. Tell us at quotation and the carton count is planned for freight rather than for a shop.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Do you ship to Portugal?
Yes — we ship worldwide from Hong Kong.
What interior suits filigree?
A smooth pad or a shaped seat. Anything with a nap catches on open work and can distort it.
Can you make a box that packs flat for travel?
We can make a shallow, rigid box that suits a suitcase. Fully flat-packed constructions are a different product and we will tell you what is realistic.
Can the box carry our brand rather than yours?
Yes. Nothing on the box identifies us. That is standard for the OEM work we do.
How do you ship to Portugal?
Sea into Leixões or Lisbon for a run, air into Lisbon or Porto for samples. Leixões serves the Porto filigree and gold trade directly, which is where most of the manufacturing sits.
