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.
Saffiano leather on this construction, specifically
The cross-hatch has to align across six faces rather than four, which doubles the chances of a visible mismatch. It is worth checking two adjoining corners on the sample rather than one.
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 saffiano leather
Saffiano is leather finished with a fine cross-hatch press and a protective coating. It is the most hard-wearing leather finish we use.
Putting your logo on saffiano leather
The coating means foil sits on the surface rather than sinking in, so a hot-stamp stays crisp. Deboss is shallower than on plain calf, by the nature of the finish.
Cutting the interior in saffiano leather
Wrapped over a rigid shell, with the cross-hatch running square to the box edge.
Wipe clean. It tolerates handling far better than an untreated hide.

Frequently asked questions
Is saffiano leather a good choice for a hexagonal box?
The cross-hatch has to align across six faces rather than four, which doubles the chances of a visible mismatch. It is worth checking two adjoining corners on the sample rather than one.
How does saffiano leather wear on this construction?
Wipe clean. It tolerates handling far better than an untreated hide.
Can it be made in our colour?
Yes — the saffiano leather is matched to a Pantone reference or a physical swatch, and confirmed on a sample.
What logo methods suit saffiano leather?
The coating means foil sits on the surface rather than sinking in, so a hot-stamp stays crisp. Deboss is shallower than on plain calf, by the nature of the finish.
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.
