Short answer: measure the tallest setting in your range and size the lid clearance to it, then pick the insert and let that set the footprint. There is no industry standard ring box dimension, so the number is genuinely yours to decide, and because the die is included, deciding it exactly costs no more than rounding it.
Answer three things and you have the size
- How tall is your tallest setting? Top of the band to the top of the stone. A high solitaire will not close in a box specified around a plain band, and that is the single most common failure on this product.
- Upright or flat? A ring presented upright in a slot needs height. A ring lying flat in a recess needs area. These are different boxes, not different sizes of the same box.
- One ring or a pair? An engagement and wedding set in a double slot doubles the footprint but not the height.
Picking by scenario
| What you sell | What tends to work |
|---|---|
| Solitaire and raised settings | Upright split-foam slot, generous lid clearance, hinged or lift-off lid |
| Plain and wedding bands | Flat recess, shallow box, which photographs well and posts cheaply |
| Stacking or multi-ring sets | Multiple slots or a tray, sized across rather than up |
| Proposal pieces carried in a pocket | Drawer or magnetic closure, slim profile, because a sprung hinge is conspicuous |
| Ecommerce shipped direct | Inner ring box plus a corrugated shipper, because a rigid box alone is not a mailer |
Internal versus external, which matters more here than usual
On a wrapped rigid box the greyboard wall is typically about 2 mm per side, so roughly 4 mm separates the internal and external figures on each dimension. On a box this small that is a meaningful share of the cavity. Ask the quote to state whether the dimension given is internal or external, and specify yours as internal, in length x width x depth order.
What to send for a quote
The tallest setting height, the band width, whether the ring presents upright or flat, and whether you want hinged, lift-off, drawer or magnetic. A photo of a competing box you like is also useful, as a reference for proportion rather than as something to copy. Design support is included, so a sketch is enough to start, and a digital proof goes out before anything prints.
Minimum order is 100 boxes, and pricing starts from about $0.48 per unit at bulk volumes, confirmed on your written quote. The die, the plates, design support, US shipping and a digital proof are included. We make in West Chicago in the US and Guangzhou in China, and turnaround is quoted per product in three lanes: rush (expedited production plus air freight), standard (air) and cost saver (sea), from about 7 business days plus 2 to 5 for delivery. Wrapped rigid work sits at the longer end and specialty imported constructions can run up to about 12 weeks.
The longer method, with the insert options set out in full, is on how to size a ring box, and you can order at custom ring boxes.
Send the setting height and your preferred construction through the quote form and we will come back with an internal dimension and a written price. There is no sample kit to buy; samples are arranged through the quote conversation.
