What a pendant box has to do
A board sized to the drop, with a slit or hook that matches the bail thickness. Too wide and the piece travels; too fine and the bail will not pass.
The moment it is opened
A pendant presented upright reads as jewellery; laid flat it reads as stock.
The mistake we correct most often
A slit cut to a nominal bail size. Bails vary more than the pieces do, and a slit that is a fraction fine will not take the chain at all.
Leatherette (PU) on a pendant box, specifically
A leatherette board is smooth, so a chain laid on it slides. A shallow moulded channel under the wrap fixes that, and it is invisible once the piece is in place.
What varies between versions
A board that presents the pendant upright, or a flat channel that lays the chain out. Upright reads as jewellery; flat reads as stock.
Why leatherette (pu) for this
Leatherette is a polyurethane skin over a woven backing. It gives the grain and the weight of leather at a consistent colour, batch to batch — which matters when a jeweller is reordering a house box for years.
Putting your logo on leatherette (pu)
Leatherette is the most forgiving surface for a logo. Hot-stamp, blind deboss and metal plate all sit well on it, and a fine typeface holds its detail.
Cutting the interior in leatherette (pu)
The skin is wrapped over a rigid shell, so corners stay square and the lid closes on a defined line rather than a soft one.
Wipe with a barely damp cloth. Avoid solvent cleaners, which can lift the surface.
