Custom Size Jewelry Trays — A Complete Guide to Choosing the Right Dimensions

introduction

Jewelry displays are never “one size fits all.” Every brand, wholesaler, and exhibition team has unique presentation needs based on product categories, tray layout preferences, and showcase dimensions. This is where custom size jewelry trays become invaluable.
Whether you manage a retail counter, prepare for a trade show, or operate a wholesale showroom, choosing the right tray size ensures better presentation, smoother workflow, and a more professional buying experience.

This guide walks you through how to select the ideal dimensions, insert types, and materials for your custom-sized trays.

Why Custom Size Jewelry Trays Matter for Professional Presentation

Standard trays often fail to match the exact needs of large assortments, multi-collection setups, or unique showcase fixtures. Custom-sized trays solve these issues by offering:

  • Perfect fit for your display cabinets
  • Better product grouping for rings, earrings, necklaces, etc.
  • Consistent visual layout across different collections
  • Improved efficiency for wholesalers and trade shows
  • Optimized use of space in storage, drawers, and shelving systems

When dimensions match your display system, your presentation becomes cleaner and more efficient.

How to Choose the Right Size for Your Jewelry Trays (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Measure Your Display or Storage Area Carefully

Before customizing tray dimensions, measure the following:

  • Counter width and depth
  • Drawer interior size
  • Showcase shelf height
  • Transport cases (for exhibitions)
  • Container-style shelving systems

Accurate measurements ensure trays slide in smoothly and stack neatly.

 


 

2. Choose the Internal Layout Based on Product Category

Custom size jewelry trays should match your product mix. Common insert layouts include:

  • Ring slots for high-volume ring displays
  • Earring card sections for studs and danglers
  • Necklace and bracelet compartments
  • Large-grid compartments for assorted items
  • Flat velvet trays for mixed or oversized pieces
  • Multi-layered stacking sets for wholesalers

Different layouts require different tray widths and depths—custom sizing ensures the inserts fit perfectly.

 


 

3. Select the Right Height and Depth for Your Use Case

Tray height directly affects usability:

  • Low-profile trays (2–3 cm) → ideal for retail counters
  • Medium-depth trays (3–4.5 cm) → suitable for general assortment
  • Deep trays (5–6.5 cm) → preferred by wholesalers & exhibitors for stacking

Proper depth reduces product shifting and maintains consistent presentation.

 


 

4. Consider Material Thickness When Customizing Dimensions

Different materials change the finished size:

  • Wood frames add structural thickness
  • PU leather trays maintain sleek profiles
  • Acrylic trays require precise laser-cut sizing
  • Paperboard trays offer lightweight flexibility

Your external dimension must account for internal insert size plus frame thickness.
