Teal in board, specifically
Teals are difficult to hold in print because the eye is sensitive to blue-green shifts, and a small ink change reads as a different colour. Start and end of run are compared before shipping.
What teal does for the piece
A blue-green that reads contemporary and photographs strongly, and one of the few saturated colours that does not look seasonal. It is a deliberate brand colour rather than a default.
What teal shows
Little at depth. Like navy and forest green it darkens toward black under warm shop light, so it should be approved under the lighting the shop actually uses.
Which metals and stones teal suits
Silver, white gold and pale stones, which it lifts. ⛔ Not behind turquoise, aquamarine or blue-green tourmaline, where the ground takes the stone's colour.
Why rigid board
Board wrapped in paper or textured stock. The lightest and most shippable of the constructions, and the one that gives the widest colour and texture range.
Putting your logo on rigid board
Board is the best surface of all for print. Foil, deboss, spot varnish and flat colour all work, and fine typography holds.
Cutting the interior in rigid board
A board box is built around its insert; the insert is usually a die-cut foam or board platform wrapped in the lining material.
Keep dry. Board recovers from a light knock better than lacquer, but a wet mark is permanent.
