What a bangle box has to do
A bangle is rigid and round, so it needs a circular well or a raised centre post that holds the ring of it upright. Laid flat in a rectangular cavity it rolls and knocks its own edge.
The moment it is opened
Bangles are often bought in pairs or worn stacked, so a box that takes two side by side sells better than one that takes a single.
The mistake we correct most often
A rectangular cavity. A bangle is a rigid ring — laid in a rectangle it rolls onto its own edge and knocks against the wall of the box.
Velvet on a bangle box, specifically
A velvet-covered centre post is what stops a bangle rattling on it — the pile takes up the play between the post and the inside of the bangle. On a hard post the same bangle knocks every time the box moves.
What varies between versions
A circular well, or a raised centre post the bangle sits over. The post holds it upright and shows the profile; the well is quieter.
Why velvet for this
Velvet is a cut-pile fabric with a longer, softer nap than microfibre suede. It is the traditional jewellery lining and still the one most buyers associate with a gift.
Putting your logo on velvet
Velvet does not hold a hot-stamp the way board or leatherette does. A metal plate, or a lid card, is the more reliable way to carry a logo on a velvet exterior.
Cutting the interior in velvet
A velvet slot closes on the shank under its own spring. The pile hides the cut edge, so the slot can be made slightly generous without looking loose.
Brush with the pile. Avoid pressing a heavy piece into the same spot for months at a time, or the pile takes a set.
