Two sets of rules
The store usually has conventions about bags, wrapping and what can carry a logo on the shop floor. Your brand has its own.
Settle both before the box is specified. A box that fails a store guideline after production is an expensive lesson.
Shared counters and handling
Concession stock is handled by staff who also handle everything else on that floor. A finish that takes handling — saffiano, leatherette — outlasts a delicate one on a shared counter.
Stock space is tight
A concession has very little storage. A box that stacks square and a lid that does not bow matter more here than in a standalone shop.
Seasonal resets
Department stores reset displays to a calendar. Where your display furniture has to change with that calendar, ordering display and boxes in one specification keeps the set coherent across resets.

Frequently asked questions
Can boxes meet a department store's guidelines?
Yes — send us the guideline document with your brand specification and both are worked into the design.
What finish survives a shared counter?
Saffiano and leatherette. Suede and velvet belong inside the box.
Can you make display to match the boxes?
Yes, in the same covering material and colour.
Do you make seasonal variants?
Yes. Where the shell stays the same, a seasonal change is usually a lid card or a ribbon rather than new tooling.
