White in board, specifically
White board prints the cleanest of any ground and it scuffs the most obviously — a handled white box shows grey along every edge. Matte lamination is not optional here, it is the specification.
What white does for the piece
White throws light back at the piece, which lifts diamonds and pale stones and makes a small piece read larger than a dark ground does. It suits bridal and contemporary ranges.
What white shows
Everything — hand oils, denim transfer, the mark of a shelf edge. A white box on an open counter has a working life measured in weeks.
Which metals and stones white suits
Diamonds, pale stones and bridal. It is a poor ground for anything warm or antique, which it makes look like a reproduction.
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.
