Jewellery Packaging Stock: How Much to Keep and When to Reorder
Share
Displays are a one-off purchase — a good bust or tray sits on your counter for years. Packaging is different: every sale sends a box or pouch out the door. Run out mid-season and you're wrapping a £400 ring in tissue paper. This short guide covers how much jewellery packaging to keep on hand, and when to reorder.
1. Work out your monthly burn
Count last quarter's sales by category. If you sell ~60 pieces a month, you need at least 60 boxes/pouches a month — plus returns, gifts and the occasional crushed corner. Add 15–20% buffer.
2. The reorder point rule
Reorder when stock hits two months of burn, not when the shelf looks empty. International shipping takes time, and seasonal peaks (November–December especially) can double your usage. A simple note in your calendar beats an emergency.
3. Keep finishes consistent between orders
Customers notice when this month's box doesn't match last month's. Stick to one supplier and one finish family for your core line — jewellery boxes, bags and pouches in matching tones — so every order looks like the same brand.
4. What a sensible packaging stock looks like
- Ring boxes: your single fastest mover — stock the deepest.
- Pendant/necklace boxes: second priority.
- Earring boxes or cards: match to your sales mix.
- Pouches: the flexible backup that fits almost anything.
- Carrier bags: one size covers most boxed purchases.
5. Order a sample before you commit
Never bulk-order packaging you haven't held. We ship worldwide with no minimum order — order one box, check the finish and fit, then stock up. Every order is quality-checked before it ships, and repeat orders stay consistent because we check them against your previous one.
