Earring Packaging: Boxes, Inserts and Pouches

Earrings are sold every day in almost every jewelry store, from a pair of silver studs to diamond drops. They are also the piece that is hardest to present well: two small items that have to stay together, face forward and not get tangled. The right earring boxes, inserts and pouches solve that. This guide explains how a jeweler or jewelry brand can choose them.

What earring packaging has to do

Good earring packaging does four jobs at once:

• it keeps the pair together, side by side and at the same height;
• it holds each earring still, so posts, hooks and stones do not move or scratch;
• it shows the design as soon as the lid opens;
• it carries your brand, because earrings are often bought as a gift.

For an overview of every format, see our guide to the types of jewelry boxes.

Cardboard or luxury earring boxes

Cardboard earring boxes for everyday pairs

Cardboard earring boxes are light, easy to store and simple to customize with your logo. They suit silver studs, fashion earrings and pairs sold in volume. Many models are designed for a ring or a pair of earrings, so one format can cover two types of piece. Our guide on how to choose ring boxes explains that shared format from the ring side. You will find the whole cardboard range among our jewelry boxes.

Luxury earring boxes for high-value pieces

For gold, diamonds or a pair sold as a keepsake, choose a covered box with a padded interior and a firm hinge. Browse our luxury jewelry boxes and keep the same collection for your rings, pendants and necklaces.

Choosing the insert by type of earring

The insert matters more for earrings than for any other piece, because each style is held in a different way:

• Studs: a cushion or a card with two holes, so the posts go through and the backs stay behind. The pair looks neat and the backs are not lost.
• Drop earrings: an insert with two slits or holes near the top, so the earrings hang straight and the stones face forward.
• Hoops: a slit cushion that holds the hoop upright, or a deeper box if the hoops are large.
• Climbers and ear cuffs: a flat foam insert that holds the piece in its shape.

Replacement inserts let you adapt one box to several styles. You will find them among our inserts and accessories.

Earrings sold as a set

Earrings are often sold with a matching pendant or necklace. In that case, one box for the whole set looks better than two separate boxes:

• an earring and pendant box holds both pieces in one insert;
• a larger box for a jewelry set fits earrings, a pendant and a chain together;
• matching boxes in one collection work when the pieces are sold separately but in the same style.

See our pendant boxes and our luxury boxes by collection to keep the whole line consistent.

Jewelry pouches for earrings

A pouch is a lighter option than a box, and it travels well. It suits earrings sold online, small gifts and pairs that the customer will carry in a bag. Choose by material:

• microfiber pouches, soft and suitable for polishing silver;
• faux suede pouches, with a warmer, more classic feel;
• cotton pouches, simple and natural.

You can see every model in our jewelry pouches range. Many jewelers use both: a box for the gift and a pouch inside it to store the earrings later.

Color, size and a sustainable option

• check the inner dimensions on the product sheet, especially the depth for long drop earrings;
• keep two or three earring formats instead of many similar ones, so stock stays simple;
• choose a color that does not compete with the metal: black and white suit almost every piece.

If your customers ask for more sustainable packaging, our FSC jewelry boxes include models for earrings.

At the counter: displays for earrings

Packaging starts before the sale. Earring displays and stands keep pairs together in the window, and display trays let the customer compare models at the counter. See our jewelry displays.

Your logo on earring packaging

Earring boxes can be customized with your logo, usually on the lid. On a small box, a simple one-color version of the logo reads best. For a finishing touch, add a custom printed ribbon and a paper bag in the same color.
