What the market buys
Tanzanite above all, plus gold, silver and an artisan trade selling through lodges and city retail.
What that means for the box
Tanzanite is blue-violet and it reads badly against a warm lining. Cream, ivory and cool grey interiors let the colour show; a blue lining kills it.
Practical considerations
Much of the trade sells to visitors who fly home. Compact, rigid boxes that survive hold luggage matter more than display boxes.
Getting it to Tanzania
Sea into Dar es Salaam for a run, air into Dar or Kilimanjaro for samples. The lodge and visitor trade is spread across the north, so plan onward distribution inside the country rather than assuming the port is the last leg.
Working with buyers in Tanzania
Tanzanite sets the terms. Buyers want packaging that shows the stone's colour and protects it in a suitcase, and they will judge a lining by putting a stone on it. Send us a colour reference and we match to it rather than to a description.
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 Tanzania?
Yes — we ship worldwide from Hong Kong.
What lining suits tanzanite?
Cream, ivory or a cool grey. A blue lining takes the colour out of the stone.
Do you make boxes for loose stones?
Yes — plain, small and protective, with a pad or folded paper seat rather than a display interior.
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 Tanzania?
Sea into Dar es Salaam for a run, air into Dar or Kilimanjaro for samples. The lodge and visitor trade is spread across the north, so plan onward distribution inside the country rather than assuming the port is the last leg.
