Custom Earring Boxes & Earring Packaging
Earrings come in pairs, which sounds obvious but drives almost everything about the box. Two small pieces that have to stay together, stay aligned and stay undamaged, with posts and hooks that catch on anything soft. Lose one and the product is worthless. We produce a lot of earring packaging at ZEE Packaging and keeping the pair paired is the core of the job.
Pairs Have To Stay Together
An earring box has to hold both pieces independently.
- Two punched holes for posts, spaced to match your design
- Butterfly backs secured separately so they cannot roll loose
- Hooks and shepherd crooks need a slit rather than a hole
- Never let the pair sit loose in a cavity together
- Alignment matters, since a crooked pair looks careless when opened
- A backing card is usually the simplest and cheapest solution
Most complaints we hear about earring packaging involve a back that came off and disappeared inside the box.
Different Styles, Different Holds
The insert has to follow the fitting type.
- Studs need punched holes and a secured back
- Hoops need a slit and often a support underneath
- Drop earrings need depth so they hang without pressing
- Chandelier styles need clearance on every side
- Clip ons need a bed rather than a hole
- Heavy statement pieces need a firmer card so they do not sag
- Backing card with a printed design the most ordered earring packaging by far
- Card inside a clear sleeve protects the pair and still shows them
- Lid and base rigid box the gift tier earring box
- Window carton retail shelf presentation
- Drawer slide box a nicer reveal for a premium pair
- Mailer with a printed interior direct to customer earring packaging
Sizes We Print Regular
Every earring box is built to your pieces, though these run often:
- 2" x 2" for a small stud card
- 3" x 2" for a standard drop earring card
- 3.5" x 3.5" x 1" for a rigid single pair box
- 4" x 4" x 1.25" for a chandelier or statement pair
- 5" x 3" x 1" for a two pair set
- 2.5" x 2.5" x 1" for a compact gift format
Measure your longest drop, since that dictates the card height or the internal depth.
Board And Finish
- 18pt to 24pt card stock for backing cards, which need real stiffness
- Rigid greyboard 36pt with a printed wrap for the gift tier
- SBS C1S for vivid printed earring packaging
- Kraft board for a handmade or natural look
- Flocked or velvet touch pad for premium pieces
- Corrugated E flute for the shipping outer
Card stiffness is worth spending on. A flimsy card lets a heavier pair sag forward, which looks cheap on a display hook.
Choices That Waste Less
- Recycled kraft card with no lamination
- FSC certified stock, certificate available on request
- Soy based ink through the whole run
- Compostable sleeve instead of a poly bag
- Paperboard insert rather than foam
- A rigid earring box worth keeping, since jewellery boxes get reused

Frequently Asked Questions
Card or a box?
Card for markets and volume, since it costs a fraction and displays well on a hook. A box suits gifting and stockists who want a tidier shelf presence.
How do we stop backs falling off?
A secondary punch or a small slit that holds the butterfly separately. Relying on the back staying pushed onto the post is how they get lost.
What does a bracelet box cost?
Rough estimate is $0.05 to $0.20 per unit for a printed backing card, $0.35 to $0.90 for a folding carton with an insert and $1.60 to $3.80 for rigid with a wrap at moderate quantity. Volume moves it a lot. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Can you punch holes to my post spacing?
Yes, send us a sample pair. Spacing varies between designs and a generic punch rarely sits right.
Will a heavy pair sag on the card?
On thin stock it will. We would move you to 24pt for statement pieces, which holds the weight without bowing.
Do you add a hanging hole?
We do, punched and reinforced so it does not tear on a display hook.
Can you supply sleeves too?
Yes, in clear or compostable film. A sleeve keeps the pair clean and stops the card scuffing in a bag.
