Consider the details

Why do UK beauty and skincare brands choose custom cosmetic cartons?

In the cosmetics and beauty industry, the box is the primary canvas that communicates your formulation’s quality, efficacy, and premium nature. Whether you produce facial serums, beard grooming oils, botanical lip balms, or anti-ageing creams, custom folding cartons protect delicate glass dropper bottles from light degradation and impact while delivering the tactile luxury consumers expect. QPack manufactures custom cosmetic packaging from high-rigidity 350gsm–400gsm virgin SBS paperboard. Because these cartons ship 100% flat-packed, 1,000 units occupy minimal shelf space and cost virtually nothing to transport. Minimum orders start from just 100 units with fast 5–7 working day UK production.

Useful answers

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Boxes

Ask us a question ↗
Can you make boxes for my specific bottle or jar dimensions?

Yes! While we offer standard sizes for popular 10ml, 30ml, and 50ml dropper bottles, we can custom cut your boxes to within a millimetre of your container. Send us your bottle dimensions (height, diameter, and cap size) and we will generate a free tailored dieline template for your designer.

What card stock do you recommend for skincare products?

We recommend 380gsm Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS) board. It provides crisp white surfaces for razor-sharp text (crucial for ingredient lists, batch numbers, and barcode readability), high rigidity to protect glass containers, and a smooth base for foils and soft-touch laminates.

What is the difference between Reverse Tuck End (RTE) and Straight Tuck End (STE)?

On a Straight Tuck End (STE) box, both the top and bottom closure flaps fold in the same direction towards the rear. On a Reverse Tuck End (RTE) box, the top flap tucks to the rear while the bottom flap tucks to the front. Both assemble in seconds and look sleek on retail display shelves.

Do you offer inner inserts for heavy glass bottles?

Yes, we can produce internal cardboard insert collars or shock-absorbing fitments that hold delicate glass droppers firmly in the centre of the carton, preventing movement and rattling during shipping.

How are cosmetic boxes packed and shipped to me?

All cosmetic cartons are pre-glued along the side seam and delivered completely flat-packed in compact cartons. 1,000 units occupy barely any room on your workbench and pop open into rectangular shape with a single gentle push.

What is the minimum order quantity for cosmetic boxes?

Our minimum order starts from 100 units. This allows beauty startups and indie brands to launch seasonal batches without heavy capital outlay. Per-unit costs drop significantly at 500, 1,000 and 2,500 units.
