In reply to Debi. Hi Debi! If the box, pouch, and/or other contents inside the package are fragile, I would not mail them inside an envelope. I always lean toward shipping jewelry inside an outer box that can withstand a bit of abuse. :)

Love your tips! May I ask why you use a ziplock bag instead of wrapping in tissue then placing in box? Thank you.

I have a selection of boxes I like to make for my jewelry. Since I make origami jewelry, it works nicely when it comes in an origami box. But there are several easy patterns to be found on Pinterest so even beginniners can make their own. I finish the package off with a special sticker I’ve printed out with my logo. I have several versions, each with a different chiyogami paper pattern for a little extra color.

I added gift wrapping to my business at Rena’s suggestion. I use black organza bags and turquoise tissue paper (that matches my business color scheme). I secure the tissue paper with a silver medallion sticker that looks very elegant. The bags are just large enough to hold my business card and a thank you card. For those customers buying multiple pieces (especially as gifts) they wrote the name of the recipient on the back of the business card to keep track. This was a great hit at my last show and on a few occasions it made the sell! When my customers found out that they didn’t have to wrap it, they were thrilled. Thank you Rena for the idea!

I have special business card punches I use so I can mount earrings on them before I put them in mini zip-lock bags. Then I wrap it in tissue paper and in bubble wrap. Then I make an origami box and pack it in that next. Then I put it in a cardboard box. Ships safe and sound.

One thing you do need to worry about is that Crystals will cut a plastic bag so maybe a strip of painters tape across the bag so that the crystals don’t slice thru it during shipping.

Sometimes I will even tape the bag to a bit of cardboard for extra safety.

Do you know where to buy the mini jars ? I just love them! Online shops, since I am from Denmark : )

Great ideas!!! Makes me want to start using that extra fabric I have stashed away to make or cover boxes. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Lynne, by “perforated business cards” I meant the sheets of cardstock that are made with 8 or 10 blank business cards you can print up from your computer’s printer.

The sheet of cardstock has perforated lines so you can separate the business cards by tearing along those perforations.

They’re available in most office supply stores, usually in a box with several sheets of these blank business cards.

And of course besides being used for business cards, they’re a good size for lots of other things – such as earring cards, gift tags, etc.

Lovely ideas, but I am confused by your reference to “perforated business cards.
