About this packaging

Beauty packaging that sells from the shelf

In beauty, the box is part of the product. Shoppers judge quality before they ever try what’s inside, so custom cosmetic packaging that matches your brand’s look and feel helps your products stand out on the shelf and online.

Sized for every product

Lipsticks, glosses, mascaras, serums, droppers, jars, palettes and perfume bottles all have different shapes. Each box is built to your product’s exact dimensions, with inserts to hold bottles and tubes securely so nothing rattles or breaks in transit.

Room for the details

Print ingredients, usage directions, barcodes and your brand story right on the box, and add a window to show off the product inside.

How to measure your box size

  1. Measure the product itself, not the shelf display.
  2. Measure the length, width and depth at the widest points, including caps, pumps and lids.
  3. Add a little room on each side so the box closes easily. If you plan to add a custom insert, add space for that too.
  4. Send us the numbers in the quote form. If you are unsure, we will help you pick the final size.

A window or a strong printed front helps people recognize your brand.

Seasonal and holiday sets

Eco-friendly

Eco-Friendly Packaging Options for Cosmetic Brands

Many beauty brands want packaging that looks premium and is easy on materials. Kraft is available as a material for cosmetic boxes, and ordering the right size cuts down on filler.

If you have a specific material need, mention it in the quote form and we will tell you what we can do.

Three simple ways to cut waste

1. Order the right size. A box that fits the product needs less filler.

2. Use fewer ink colors where your design allows it.

3. Choose kraft if you like a natural, uncoated look.

Custom Packaging Options for Every Industry

Choose the finish, print method, coating and material that suit your product. Our team will help you pick the right mix for your brand and budget.

Special Finishes

Finishing is what turns a good box into a memorable one. Add metallic hot foil, raised embossing, glossy spot UV or pressed-in debossing to highlight your logo and key details, the small touches that make customers stop, look and pick your product up. Finishes can be combined on the same box, for example gold foil on an embossed logo with a spot UV pattern, and our team will show you what works best for your artwork and budget before anything is printed.

Printing Methods

We match the print method to your quantity, artwork and budget. Offset printing gives sharp, color-accurate results for larger runs, digital printing is ideal for short runs and fast turnaround, screen printing delivers bold solid colors, and UV printing adds vivid, durable ink to almost any surface. We print in full-color CMYK or exact Pantone brand colors, inside and outside the box, and every order comes with a free digital proof so you can check colors and layout first.

Coating & Laminations

Coatings protect your print from scuffs, moisture and fingerprints while setting the look and feel of your box. Choose matte for a soft, modern finish, gloss for vibrant shine, soft-touch for a velvety premium feel, or eco-friendly aqueous coating for everyday protection. A coating also makes colors look richer and helps your boxes stay clean and sharp from the warehouse to the customer’s hands.

Materials / Paper We Use

Every box starts with the right board. Rigid chipboard gives a sturdy luxury feel, kraft paperboard offers a natural and recyclable look, corrugated board protects products through shipping, and SBS cardstock provides a bright, smooth surface for crisp full-color printing. We use recyclable materials wherever possible. Not sure which board is right for your product? Tell us what you are packing and how it ships, and we will recommend the best material for strength, look and price.
