What this construction is
A hexagonal box has six sides rather than four, which gives more faces to brand and a footprint that reads as considered rather than standard. It also sits in a display without a clear front, so it can be turned to any angle.
Lacquered wood on this construction, specifically
A rigid hexagonal shell has six machined faces and no wrapped joins anywhere, so the shape reads as carved rather than folded. It is the version of this construction that justifies its own cost.
Getting the fit right
Six corners mean six wrapped joins, and the material has to fold at an angle rather than square. That is more work than a rectangle and it is where the price difference sits — not in the shape itself.
The mistake to avoid
A hexagon wastes interior space at every corner. A piece that fits a rectangular box of the same width may not fit the hexagon, because the usable interior is the circle inside the six sides.
Where it is used
Gifting, seasonal ranges and brands that want a shape customers recognise on a shelf. It suits round and coiled pieces better than long ones.
Why lacquered wood
A wood carcass built up in layers of lacquer and polished back to a piano finish. This is the heaviest and most formal thing we make.
Putting your logo on lacquered wood
Lacquer is engraved, or carries an inlaid metal plate. Foil does not bond reliably to a polished lacquer surface.
Cutting the interior in lacquered wood
The interior is a separate lined tray dropped into the carcass, so the lining material is chosen independently of the shell.
Dust with a dry microfibre cloth. Polish only with a product made for lacquer.

Frequently asked questions
Is lacquered wood a good choice for a hexagonal box?
A rigid hexagonal shell has six machined faces and no wrapped joins anywhere, so the shape reads as carved rather than folded. It is the version of this construction that justifies its own cost.
How does lacquered wood wear on this construction?
Dust with a dry microfibre cloth. Polish only with a product made for lacquer.
Can it be made in our colour?
Yes — the lacquered wood is matched to a Pantone reference or a physical swatch, and confirmed on a sample.
What logo methods suit lacquered wood?
Lacquer is engraved, or carries an inlaid metal plate. Foil does not bond reliably to a polished lacquer surface.
Can I see it before ordering?
Yes. A physical pre-production sample is made to your specification and the bulk run is held to the sample you approve.
