Solution
Cosmetics packaging carries two loads at once: a brand promise that has to survive a shelf or a screen, and a legal panel that has to fit ingredients, warnings and batch information without looking cramped. Both have to work on a carton that is often narrower than a business card is wide.
The kit we build for beauty brands
| Folding cartons | 300–400 gsm bright white SBS board, offset print, precise dielines for 15–200 ml bottles, jars and tubes. |
| Rigid set boxes | Greyboard wrapped in art paper with EVA or board inserts for serum, cream and fragrance sets. |
| Counter & checkout bags | 210–300 gsm card with ribbon handles, colour-matched to the carton. |
| E-commerce shippers | E-flute mailers with printed interior and inserts that protect glass without inflating freight volume. |
| Window cartons | PLA or PE window patching for products that should be seen before they are bought. |
| Tester & sample sleeves | Small-format cartons and sleeves for testers, gift-with-purchase and discovery sets. |
Where it is used
Skincare & serums
Small cartons with exact dielines, bright white board for true colour, and space for a full INCI panel.
Colour cosmetics
Compact cartons and palettes printed with accurate skin tones and smooth gradient artwork.
Fragrance & gift sets
Rigid boxes with foam inserts, foil detailing and matching bags for the holiday programme.
DTC beauty brands
Printed shippers that protect glass in transit and double as the unboxing moment.
What decides the specification
- Bright white board, not recycled grey: skin tones and pastel shades only print true on a neutral base.
- Colour management with a retained proof — beauty brands change artwork often, and drift shows immediately.
- Structural accuracy on small formats: a 0.5 mm dieline error is visible on a 30 mm wide carton.
- Legal panel planning: we lay out the ingredient and warning block at artwork stage, not after approval.
- Finish chosen for handling, not just for photos — soft-touch and matte laminations that do not fingerprint on a counter.
- Drop-tested packing for glass: insert type, carton board and shipper specification agreed together.

Frequently asked questions
Can you print on very small cartons?
Yes — cartons down to roughly 30 × 30 × 80 mm are routine. Small formats need tighter dieline tolerances and simpler finishes, so we confirm both before quoting.
Do you handle the legal panel layout?
We lay out the panel from the text you supply and show you where the ingredient list, warnings and batch code will sit. Wording and regulatory compliance stay with your brand — we make sure it fits.
Which finish looks most premium?
Soft-touch matte lamination with a single foil element, used sparingly. Full-coverage spot UV and heavy embossing usually read cheaper than one restrained detail.
Can you supply bags and cartons together?
Yes — bags, cartons and gift boxes are produced to the same artwork and shipped consolidated, which keeps one lead time and one set of export documents.
