Jewelry boxes are made of majorly 4 kinds of materials, cardboard, plastic, metal and wood and usually wrapped with paper, velvet, leather, and faux suede.
Cardboard Jewelry Boxes
Cardboard jewelry boxes are usually used for cheap jewelries, for example, steel jewelries, alloy jewelries and silver jewelries.
Cardboard is a kind of thick paper. Jewelry boxes made from cardboard paper generally wrapped outside with printed paper, special paper (paper specially made with textures) and leatherette paper(faux leather by paper).
To save cost and keep good quality, factories recommend special paper for their customers. Most of large brands, especially economic brands do this kind of jewelry boxes. Boxes glued with cheaper printing paper are generally poorer quanlity.
Paper boxes with leatheretter paper are rare to see on market, as this papers are expensive, which makes higher cost for a paper jewelry box.
Luckily, cardboard paper boxes can be designed to be different shapes, for instance, book-shape, heart-shape, square, round. If you preferred to customize a unique shape or a right-suitable size for your jewelries, they would be your best choice.
Their disadvantages are also can not be ignored. Cardboard is comparatively softer and lighter than plastic box or wood box. That means they are easily to dent or break. And they will be decomposed as time goes by.
Inside materials of the boxes are mostly sponge wrapped with velvet, as we talked before, to save cost. So it’s best match is cardboard+special paper+sponge inset.
Plastic Jewelry Boxes
To customize plastic jewelry boxes, the best material matches would be Plastic mould+outside (leatherette paper/faux leather/faux suede)+inside (velvet/faux leather/faux suede/microfiber/satin cloth).
Plastic jewelry boxes are mostly used nowadays. Not only are they high-quality and fashionable, but relatively cheap, duarable. If they were recyclable, they would be nearly no shortcomings.
Their price ranges from cents to a dozen (I mean wholesale price per unit) and quality from low end to high end. Luxury materials can be applied to them, like leather, velvet, microfiber, etc.
From their appearances, one couldn’t judge whether they are wood boxes or plastic boxes. Even for some plastic moulds, if one didn’t detach them from wrappings, he would believe them as wood boxes, as they are as heavy and thick as wood boxes.
Plastic jewelry boxes are good replacements for wood jewelry boxes. There’s only one disadvantage should be noted that plastic jewelry boxes are hand-crafted based on plastic moulds. These moulds have fixed sizes. That means you couldn’t customize your size and must follow on their present ones.
Metal Jewellery Boxes
Namely, a metal jewelry box is based on a metal base.
Similar to plastic jewelry boxes, metal boxes can use all kinds of materials for their insets, but for their outside, only soft materials are recommended, such as faux leather, velvet and etc. Metal jewelry box is also fixed on size. Prices are generally higher than plastic jewelry boxes, so does quality. Usually, metal base+faux leather/velvet+faux leather/velvet to make a box.
Wood Jewellery Boxes
Jewelry boxes crafted from wood are classic and stylish. Wood is durable, protective, natural, and attractive. When made with the right eye for design, jewelry boxes made of wood can fit wonderfully with modern décor. A simple bamboo, cube-shaped jewelry box looks lovely on a dresser, vanity, or countertop.
Lacquered Wood Jewelry Boxes
However, comparing to above jewelry boxes, wood jewelry boxes are much more expensive and have fewer choices. Customized shape is available but even higher cost and minium order would be up to 3000pcs. A wood jewelry box is generally no wrappings outside, sometimes faux leather. Plywood is most commonly seen on market and then bamboo, solid wood for higher end. Inside inset applies velvet or faux leather or faux suede.
