- Choose the Right Box & Size
It is said, “Knowing is half the battle,” the first thing to consider before diving into custom cardboard packaging is the types of boxes that exist and what your product needs.
Brands must also consider who they are designing the box for, meaning the target audience. For instance, Here are some boxes commonly used in the cosmetics industry and what products complement them best.
- Tuck Top or Tuck End Boxes
It is best used for small and thin products like lipstick, lip gloss, eyeliners, mascara, etc. These packages come in various sizes, starting at 1” x 1”x3” and going up from there.
- Two Piece or Sliding Or Tray Boxes
Most commonly used to store perfumes. Their sizes start from 3”x3”x6” and may go higher based on the shape and size of the fragrance bottle.
- Display Boxes
These boxes are usually made with rigid and sturdy materials in vibrant colors. They have compartments that give the products a sleek and tidy appearance and look attractive on the counter. These packages often cater to a wide range of products and can be made in any size. For example, a cosmetic display box is usually made with 8” x 8” x 8” dimensions but can be customized in any size and material to suit the brand’s needs.

Color Palettes That Resonate With Your Brand’s Voice
If you are on a tight budget, using minimal colors with brand logos is the best way to begin. For instance, picking out one or two colors from the CMYK palette (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key Black) will get the job done. However, if you want to market a product that needs a vibrant, eye-catching packaging design, expanding the horizons and adding more colors to the mix is best.
Finishing It With Class
There are many options regarding the final finishing of the cardboard shipping boxes you want to create, such as deciding what type of printing would be best for the package. Typically, there are paintings of packaging;
- Digital Printing
- Offset Printing
- Screen Printing
- Flexographic Printing (only suitable for plastic bags)
The best printing efficiency of the three is offset printing. Adding to that, we help you decide what type of imprinting coating, die-cutting, and style are best for the box of your dreams.
For instance, if you want a luxurious and elegant package finish, it is often best to choose matte or pearl finish lamination instead of UV Gloss or Soft Touch.
If you want your product package to last longer and not fade with time, choose an aqueous coating. This water-based coating helps increase the box’s life and protects it against damage from exposure to water.
