Bespoke watch Boxes manufactured to order, with material and finish chosen around how the product ships.
No obligation
Name, email, phone and what you are packing and the finish you have in mind. Attach artwork if you have it. We reply with a specification and a written price, usually within one business day.
A bolster the strap wraps around, with clearance above the crystal. Measure the case at its thickest point, including the crown and any pushers.
Watch Boxes are built from greyboard wrapped in a printed or specialty paper, assembled by hand so the walls stay rigid and the lid holds its shape.
Watch Boxes hold a watch head and strap where the case depth varies far more than the diameter does. That is the starting point for the specification, because a bolster the strap wraps around, with clearance above the crystal. Measure the case at its thickest point, including the crown and any pushers.
In service they are used for watch retail and gifting, where the box is frequently kept and reused as storage.
Device packaging is an insert problem before it is a box problem. The cavity is cut to the geometry of the item, and once the contents cannot move, the outer rarely needs to be heavier than a standard grade.
Rigid board with a wrapped sheet and a firm cushion — the cushion has to hold shape under a heavy watch rather than compress under it.
The options we would consider for this format are below; a bolster the strap wraps around, with clearance above the crystal. Measure the case at its thickest point, including the crown and any pushers.
The lid presses on the crown or the crystal because the box was specified from the face diameter and the case thickness was never measured.

Around 4.5 × 4.5 in on the footprint, but the depth is the live number — a dress watch and a dive watch differ by half an inch or more through the case.
Send the contents rather than a box size. Watches are compared by face size in the trade, so the depth — which is what actually decides the box — is the measurement nobody sends.
Interior finish and the feel of the hinge carry this category. A box that is going to be kept is judged on how it closes.
Finishes are costed one at a time because each is a separate operation — that way you can see which one is carrying the price.
Foil, soft-touch and deboss all read differently in person than on a screen, so we recommend a printed prototype rather than a digital proof alone for anything finish-led.
Sample costs are normally credited against the production order.
Start with dimensions and quantity. If you already run something similar, a physical sample tells us more in a minute than a specification does in a page.
A dieline template follows, then a proof. For finish-led work we usually recommend a physical prototype at this point, because foil and soft-touch do not read accurately on screen.

Answers
Specification, minimums and lead times for watch boxes.
Case thickness at its thickest point, including the crown and pushers, plus the lug-to-lug length. Face diameter is the figure most buyers send and it is the one that matters least — depth is what determines whether the lid clears the crystal.
Rarely without compromise. A box built to present is not built to survive a carrier network alone. A presentation box inside a plain protective outer usually costs less overall than one box trying to do both.
Because they are hand-assembled rather than machine-glued, and because the wrap, corner finish and interior lining are each separate operations. They also ship assembled rather than flat, which raises freight. The trade is a structure that feels substantially different in the hand.
Ones that read from arm’s length. Soft-touch lamination and deboss change how the whole pack reads; a small foil detail often does not survive the distance between shelf and eye. We quote each pass separately so you can judge.
We can specify boards and liners appropriate for electronics handling and cut inserts to component geometry. Tell us the exact requirement your process operates under, since it varies considerably between component types.
Yes, which is part of why their freight cost is higher than a folding carton. Collapsible rigid constructions exist and ship flatter, at some cost to the feel of the finished box.
3 to 5 business days after artwork approval, plus freight. Rigid box runs with applied finishes can take longer because each finish is a separate pass, and we confirm a firm date in writing with the quote.
Prices start from $0.30 per piece for large-volume orders. For this format the biggest levers are quantity, print route, board grade and how many finishing passes are involved. We quote each element separately so you can see where the money is going. Rigid construction is hand-assembled, so labour is a larger share of the unit cost here than it is on a machine-glued carton and quantity discounts flatten out sooner.
Yes. We can send a plain unprinted sample so you can check the fit and structure, or a printed prototype for colour and finish. Sample costs are normally credited against the production order. Ask for the printed prototype rather than the plain sample if the question is finish — soft-touch, foil and deboss all read differently in the hand than on a screen.
Send the current specification or a physical sample and we will quote to match it rather than proposing an alternative you would then have to re-approve internally. Send the physical box rather than a photograph. Wrap stock, corner finish and interior lining are what make a rigid box feel the way it does, and none of them photograph.
All 50 US states, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, on the same timeline everywhere: 3 to 5 business days of production after artwork approval, then 5 to 7 business days in transit. Every run is made to order and shipped directly to your address rather than pulled from stock, so you receive current production rather than whatever has been sitting in a warehouse. Freight is costed separately by weight, volume and destination. Rigid boxes ship assembled rather than flat, so they take considerably more space in transit than a folding carton of the same finished size. It is worth factoring into the landed cost.
Every run is cut to your dimensions — there are no stock sizes here. Send the product measurements rather than a box size and we will build the rigid box around them, then send a dieline template you can design onto.
