What a pair of cufflinks box has to do
Two level seats close enough to read as a pair, each with a recess for the fitting behind the face.
The moment it is opened
Menswear packaging tends to plates and blind debossing rather than bright foil, and the pair has to look like a pair.
The mistake we correct most often
Seats cut at different depths. A pair that does not sit level reads as two single cufflinks rather than as a pair.
Microfibre suede on a pair of cufflinks box, specifically
This is the standard menswear pairing. Suede takes a blind deboss on the interior card well, and two recessed seats in it hold a pair level without the plush look that jars against a tailored product.
What varies between versions
Two recessed seats or a single pad with the pair laid together. Recessed seats hold them level; the pad suits fittings that vary.
Why microfibre suede for this
Microfibre suede is a woven synthetic with a short, dense nap. It has the hand of real suede without the shading and water-marking that real suede brings, and it does not shed onto a polished piece.
Putting your logo on microfibre suede
Suede takes a hot-stamped or blind-debossed logo cleanly, because the nap compresses and holds the impression. Fine serifs need a slightly heavier die than they would on board, or the nap springs back and softens the edge.
Cutting the interior in microfibre suede
Inserts are cut a fraction under size on each face; the pile closes the gap and grips the piece without a visible squeeze.
Brush with the nap, never against it. Marks from a fingernail lift with a soft brush. It does not craze or crack with age.
