Custom Makeup Boxes

Material Matters: Choosing for Makeup Boxes

Cardboard Stock:

• Lightweight and cost-effective, making it an economical choice for inner packaging components like inserts and dividers
• Can be easily die-cut into custom shapes and sizes to fit specific cosmetic products, such as lipstick or eyeshadow containers

Corrugated Cardboard:

• Provides excellent cushioning and protection for fragile cosmetic products during shipping and storage
• Customizable flute directions create flexibility in design, allowing for both vertical and horizontal orientations

White Card Stock:

• Bright and clean appearance enhances the visual appeal of cosmetic packaging, especially for high-end or luxury brands
• Smooth surface allows for easy printing and labeling, providing ample space for branding and product information, ingredients, and usage instructions

SBS Paperboard:

• Solid bleached sulfate (SBS) paperboard offers a bright, white, and smooth surface, perfect for premium cosmetic packaging
• Durable enough to hold up to frequent use and handling, yet still lightweight and portable, making it suitable for compacts, palettes, and other makeup products

Kraft Paper Stock:

• Natural brown color gives kraft paper a rustic, earthy look that can add warmth and personality to cosmetic packaging, particularly for organic or natural beauty products
• Can be used for both outer and inner packaging, providing a cohesive brand image throughout the product line

Rigid Board:

• Extremely durable and resistant to bending or warping, making it ideal for storing and transporting heavy cosmetic items like perfumes, lotions, and creams
• Can be wrapped in decorative papers or foils for added elegance and branding opportunities, enhancing the overall unboxing experience

Chipboard:

• Cost-effective alternative to rigid board, providing similar protective qualities at a lower price point, making it suitable for budget-friendly cosmetic lines
• Can be laminated with various materials, such as paper or film, to enhance its appearance and functionality, adding moisture-resistance or UV protection

Plastic Stock:

• Waterproof and impermeable, ensuring that cosmetic products remain safe and dry inside the package, even when exposed to humidity or liquids
• Flexible and moldable, allowing for creative designs and custom shapes that can enhance brand recognition and customer engagement, such as transparent blister packs or hanging displays.

Unlock Extra Options for Your Custom Makeup Box

After printing the makeup box, various finishing options can be applied to enhance its appearance and functionality. Some common finishing options include:

• Lamination: Applying a thin layer of plastic film on the surface to protect the printing, add gloss or matte finish, and increase durability.
• Spot UV: Using a special varnish to create a glossy, raised effect on specific areas, adding texture and highlighting certain design elements.
• Embossing/Debossing: Creating raised (embossed) or recessed (debossed) designs on the surface of the box for a tactile and visually appealing effect.
• Foil Stamping: Applying metallic or colored foil to specific areas, adding a luxurious and eye-catching shine.
• Die-Cutting: Using a custom-shaped blade to cut out specific patterns or shapes on the box, allowing for unique and creative designs.
• Varnishing: Applying a clear coating to protect the printed surface and enhance the color vibrancy.
• Window Patching: Adding a transparent plastic window to the box, allowing customers to see the product inside.
• Matte or Glossy Coating: Choosing between a matte or glossy finish to suit the brand's desired look and feel.
