Shopping for Cardboard Gift Boxes

Cardboard gift boxes are a convenient way to wrap gifts for any holiday or celebration. When buying some, consider getting a few pieces of the various options you find in the store as opposed to obtaining only what you need. Containers in smaller sizes that hold jewellery can be made more decorative with a velour paper lining. Having a selection on hand is convenient for giving away hand crafted or purchased trinkets. These packaging items are also useful if you sell hand crafted accessories online or at craft shows.

Write a list of the jewellery boxes you need to buy. A big chunky necklace will fit in a box measuring 7 inches x 4 inches x 1 inch, while a choker with a matching pendant will easily fit into one that is 2 7/8 inches x 3 inches x 1 inch. Containers with proportions 1 x 1 7/8 inches x 1 3/8 inches are ideal for rings. Lastly, bracelets should go into boxes that measure 8 inches x 2 inches x 1 inch.

Do the rounds of jewellery shops or local jewellery counters in large retail stores. Inquire if they have any extra cardboard boxes left over after big jewellery holidays like Christmas or Valentine's Day. Go to the wedding favours section at your local department store as well. They might carry cardboard boxes for trinkets in bulk. To save money, look for flat boxes that you can assemble yourself.

Finally, take a trip to any local shipping store or wholesale box company. In these venues, the container size options will be wide. They might even offer you discounts for purchasing in big quantities.
