It gets handled hard
Airports, car boots, hotel rooms. A case for travelling is specified for abuse first and for looks second, which is the opposite of every other item in this catalogue.
Rigid construction, protected corners and a closure that will not open on its own are the three things that matter.
Laying out a range
The case has to open flat or nearly flat, and the range has to be visible at once. A case where pieces have to be lifted out to see what is underneath loses the buyer's attention while you are digging.
Trays that lift out as a unit are the usual answer — one movement and the second layer is visible.
Pieces must not move
A range that arrives shuffled looks careless before a word is said. Every piece has a seat, and the seats have to hold under the shaking a case takes in transit — which is a firmer fit than a counter tray needs.
Counting the range in and out
Where a case carries stock rather than samples, a layout that makes a missing piece obvious is worth more than a layout that looks elegant. A fixed seat per piece means one empty seat is visible instantly.
Security
A case that looks like a jewellery case is a target. Many people who travel with stock deliberately carry something that does not, and put the presentation inside rather than outside.
At a glance
| Requirement | What it means |
|---|---|
| Survives travel | Rigid, protected corners, a positive closure |
| Opens fast | Lays flat or nearly flat; lift-out trays for a second layer |
| Nothing moves | A firmer seat than a counter tray needs |
| Stock control | A fixed seat per piece — a gap is visible instantly |
| Security | A case that does not look like a jewellery case |
Frequently asked questions
Can you make a case that opens flat?
Yes, and for a selling case it is worth specifying — a buyer should see the range in one movement.
How firm should the seats be?
Firmer than a counter tray. A case is shaken in transit and a range that arrives shuffled looks careless.
Can the case carry lift-out trays?
Yes. It is the usual way to show a second layer without unpacking the first.
Should a sample case be branded?
Many people who travel with stock deliberately choose a case that does not look like one. It is a security decision.
