Hello all

Not sure if this is the best place to post this but I was hoping for some views on fancy/ expensive packaging. I am hoping to start selling jewellery shortly (for the first time) and I am sorely tempted to buy what seems to be comparatively expensive packaging as I love the way it looks and sets off my designs. Do any of you experienced sellers have a particular percentage of costs in mind that you allow for packaging ( over which you refuse to go)? The boxes I am looking at are £5 for a necklace box and I am hoping to sell those pieces at £65 and higher, and £2.50 for a universal box for items I hope to sell at £30 and higher.

To me this doesn't seem a lot but I have spotted other sellers of similar precious/semi precious jewellery using boxes that are below £1.

Will it make a big enough difference to the customer? I know it always does to me. Any thoughts?
