A house box beats a range
Most designers are better served by one box that suits everything than by a box per piece type. It reads as a brand; a mixed set reads as whatever was available.
Where a range genuinely needs two — a ring box and a long box, say — they should share a material and a colour so the pair still reads as one.
It will be photographed more than it is handled
Designer packaging appears in product shots, on social media and in press. Interior colour, the way the lid opens and how the box sits in frame matter as much as the material.
It is worth photographing the sample before approving it.
Small quantities
A designer starting out does not want a pallet. Quantities are agreed per project, and we will tell you what is workable rather than quoting a fixed floor.
Growing into it
A box specified now will be reordered in two years if the brand works. Choosing a material that repeats consistently — leatherette rather than hide — makes the second order match the first.

Frequently asked questions
Can you make small runs for an independent brand?
Quantities are agreed per project. Tell us what you have in mind and we will say what is workable.
Should I have one box or several?
One house box unless your range genuinely forces two. A mixed set reads as unbranded.
Will my reorder match my first order?
With a consistent material it will. Leatherette repeats batch to batch; real hide varies by nature.
Can I see it before committing?
Yes — a physical pre-production sample, and we suggest photographing it before you approve.
