Custom skincare and cosmetic boxes

Skincare buyers judge a product before they read a word of the label. The carton is the first thing they touch, so color, board feel and finish matter more here than in almost any other category.

Questions about beauty boxes

What carton size do I need for a 30 ml serum bottle?

A typical 30 ml dropper bottle is about 33 mm wide and 105 mm tall. A good carton is 38 x 38 x 112 mm inside, which leaves room for the bottle and a thin insert. Measure your own bottle, then use the fit check on this page.

Which finish should I choose for a premium look?

Soft-touch lamination feels velvety and suits dark colors. Foil stamping adds metallic detail to a logo. Spot UV makes one element glossy against a matte base. Combining soft-touch with a small foil logo is a common premium pairing.

Are laminated boxes recyclable?

Plastic film lamination can make paper harder to recycle. Water-based coating is generally the easiest finish to recycle. Tell us the claim you want to make on pack and we will suggest a finish that supports it.

Can you match my brand color?

We print in CMYK and match as closely as the process allows. If a color is critical, order the sample pack first and compare it against your brand swatch before you commit to a full run.

Do you supply inserts for glass bottles?

Yes. Paper pulp and folded board inserts are available for most carton sizes. Ask for one when you request the quote and we will add it to the dieline.

How long does a beauty carton order take?

Standard production is about 12 working days after artwork approval. Express is about 7 working days and super express about 4, at a higher price. Shipping time is extra and shown before you pay.

Packing something specific?

Tell us your beauty product and the quantity. An adviser replies with a size, a board and a price, usually within one working day.
