Jewelry can be a personal style statement, a gift of love, or a special memento. And the packaging of that jewelry can be just as much of a statement as the jewelry itself. It’s hard to duplicate the anticipation a small jewelry package generates for the recipient. As the holidays draw closer and jewelry purchases increase, merchandising with stretch loop bows is a smart choice.

Many high-end jewelry shops choose pre-tied elastic bows for their jewelry boxes because they are classy, yet quick and easy to apply to the box in-store. We receive many questions about the size of the pre-tied bow loops that they need for their boxes, particularly as the trend toward larger, unconventional jewelry pieces continues to grow.

The following is a general guide for deciding the length of the finished pre-tied elastic loop you may need for your jewelry boxes:

• Earring, ring and bracelet boxes: For a box of 3″ x 2″ x 1″, a 3-inch pre-tied bow makes sense.
• Larger bracelets, small necklaces: A box of 3.5″ x 3.5″ x 1″ would require a 4-inch pre-tied bow.
• Necklaces: For a typical 6.5″ x 3.25″ x 1″ box, a 5-inch elastic loop would work.

For larger, unconventional pieces of jewelry:

• A box of 7″ x 5″ x 1″ would need a 7-inch pre-tied bow.
• A box of 10″ x 7 x 1.25″ would need up to an 8-inch loop.

All of these lengths are available in both 1.2mm and 1.7mm gauges, and those come in a wide variety of colors and finishes, including metallic gold, silver and several other gorgeous metallic colors. These are the loop sizes and gauges we traditionally stock, but we can also create custom pre-tied elastic bows for your boxes. So whatever your packaging and merchandising scheme, let us know and we can work with you.
