What a wedding band box has to do
Two slots, usually two different widths. A pair of identical slots holds one band well and the other loosely.
The moment it is opened
It is opened in a ceremony, under pressure, often by someone who has not opened it before.
The mistake we correct most often
Two identical slots. A pair of bands is rarely a pair of widths, and a slot cut for the wider one lets the narrower band turn in the ceremony.
Velvet on a wedding band box, specifically
Two slots in velvet can be cut to two different widths and still look like one pair, because the nap hides the join between them. On a harder lining the difference in width reads as a mistake; here it reads as intent.
What varies between versions
Slots side by side or one above the other. Side by side presents the pair; stacked makes a smaller box, which matters if it has to sit in a pocket.
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.
