Client Background
InBira Jewels is a boutique jewelry brand based in San Antonio, Texas, founded by entrepreneur Indira Thapa. Inspired by Southeast Asian traditions, her jewelry pieces combine cultural heritage with modern elegance. As a newly launched business with products priced under USD 60, Indira’s goal was clear — to create beautiful, premium packaging that reflects her brand identity without exceeding her startup budget.
The Challenge
On August 28, 2025, Indira first reached out to Pandapackage through WhatsApp. She had a strong creative vision but wasn’t sure how to bring it to life. She was looking for magnetic jewelry boxes in chocolate brown with her custom logo, available in several sizes for necklaces, bangles, anklets, and single jewelry pieces.
However, with multiple box sizes, small quantities, and custom printing, the cost of producing fully custom magnetic boxes was higher than expected. Indira needed a partner who could offer both design guidance and cost-efficient packaging alternatives — without compromising on quality or aesthetics.
Our Approach
Our sales consultant, Leslie Zhao, worked closely with Indira through WhatsApp to understand her exact needs. Through a series of messages, drawings, and photo references, Leslie helped refine the specifications step by step:
Discussed five initial jewelry box sizes and corresponding quantities.
Suggested more economical materials and box styles, including rigid mailer boxes as an alternative to magnetic boxes.
Shared live photos, color samples, and logo placement mockups to help Indira visualize the results.
Provided transparent quotations for each version and adjusted based on Indira’s budget.
After several iterations, the final plan was set:
Rigid mailer boxes in two sizes — 9.8 × 9.8 × 3.9 in and 7.8 × 5.5 × 3 in.
Quantity: 600 pieces in total.
Finish: Dark brown with a white logo printed on the lid.
Total price: USD xxx for production, including logo printing.
To help manage shipping costs from China to the USA, the Pandapackage team sourced multiple shipping quotes and successfully reduced the sea freight cost from USD xxx to USD xxx, with a 30-day delivery time.
Production & Communication
Pandapackage’s production team prepared a pre-production sample for internal approval, ensuring the color, logo, and structure met the client’s expectations before mass production.
Throughout the process, Leslie maintained clear communication — providing Indira with design previews, sample photos, packaging updates, and even vessel tracking once the shipment left the factory.
Production was completed in just 5 days, followed by careful packaging into nine protective cartons to ensure product safety during transit.
Delivery & Result
On October 19, 2025, Indira received her boxes — just in time for the launch of her online jewelry store. Her immediate reaction said it all:
“I love it, thank you!”
The boxes arrived in perfect condition, featuring her brand’s elegant logo printed in white on rich brown rigid boxes — a perfect match for her jewelry aesthetic.
Outcome
Brand consistency achieved: The packaging now aligns beautifully with InBira Jewels’ identity — premium yet accessible.
Cost-efficiency: By switching from magnetic boxes to rigid mailer boxes, the client saved nearly 40% in production costs.
Reliable logistics: End-to-end coordination ensured smooth sea freight delivery from China to Texas.
Customer satisfaction: Indira described the experience as “very kind and professional” and confirmed plans for future orders.
