Gold-weighted ranges
Turkish counters sell more 22k than most European markets. The pieces are heavier and the interiors have to hold that weight without the piece shifting when the box is carried.
Send the heaviest item in the range rather than a representative one.
Bazaar and boutique are different briefs
A bazaar counter turns over volume and the box is handed across constantly — it needs a finish that takes handling. A boutique box is opened fewer times and can carry a more delicate finish.
Saffiano and leatherette suit the first; suede, velvet and lacquer suit the second.
Export packaging
Turkish manufacturers exporting to Europe usually need the box to carry the buyer's brand. That is standard for us — logo, colours and lid card are specified per order and nothing on the box identifies us.
Sets and wedding ranges
Turkish wedding selling is set-led. A tray holding a full suite is a more common requirement here than a single ring box, and it is drawn to the set rather than taken from stock.
Getting it to Turkey
Sea into Istanbul (Ambarlı or Kumport) or Mersin for a run, air into Istanbul for samples. Turkey is a customs union partner with the EU but not a member, so the paperwork differs from an EU shipment.
Working with buyers in Turkey
A serious manufacturing country with the Grand Bazaar trade at one end and export manufacturers at the other. Manufacturers buy on specification and often need packaging shipped onward with the goods; bazaar buyers buy on price and want it now.
