01The delivery
Plan the outer layer
Start with the complete packed item, then review the folds, handling and print areas.
View this designGood packaging
starts with the contents.
Then comes the opening, the material and the brand detail. Work through them together.
Talk through an ideaEvery layer
has a job.
Choose each role around the piece and the way it will be presented or delivered.
02The presentation
Give the piece its setting
Compare the opening and the way the insert supports the jewelry.

Look a little closer
Four details.
One considered opening.
Open a detail to see what to discuss when reviewing a sample.
1Outer wrap
Look at the surface, turned edges and corner alignment when comparing the finish.
2Soft lining
Review the lining color and texture together with the piece it will hold.
3Ring support
Check how the ring sits, how easily it can be removed and how much clearance it needs.
4The opening
Review the lid position and the view of the piece when the box is open.
Surface and finish
Look at the material.
Then the mark.
Bring the covering and the surface treatment into the same conversation.
Begin with the sample.
Bring the contents, the dimensions and the proposed structure together.
From the piece
to a clearer sample.
Structure, finish and sample scope are separate decisions. Work through them in order.
Start with the piece
A product photo, a rough size or a short question is enough to begin.
Choose the format
Compare the opening, insert and size around the actual piece and its use.
Refine the brand detail
Work from the selected structure when discussing color, print and logo placement.
Agree the sample scope
Confirm the design revision, sample checks, quotation and lead-time starting point together.
Fit first.
Finish with intention.
Review the contents, insert and closure before refining the artwork. A finish should support the design rather than hide a structural problem.
Follow the making.

A useful sample checks
more than the outside.
Agree which structure, dimensions, artwork revision and finish the sample represents. Review opening, removal and assembly with the intended contents.
