What a watch box has to do
A cushion sized to the strap and clearance for the clasp. A deployant needs more room under the cushion than a pin buckle.
The moment it is opened
A watch box is often kept for the life of the watch, so construction matters more than on a gift box.
The mistake we correct most often
A cushion sized to the case and not to the clasp. A deployant needs more room under the cushion than a pin buckle, and it is the clasp that fouls first.
Leatherette (PU) on a watch box, specifically
The most common watch-box specification we make. A leatherette-wrapped cushion holds its shape under a steel bracelet for years, and the exterior takes a blind deboss cleanly.
What varies between versions
A single cushion, a cushion with a document recess, or a roll for travel. Ask how the customer will use it before choosing.
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.
