Materials and GSM Specifications
Understanding paper weight is crucial for selecting the right corrugated packaging for your cosmetics. The GSM (grams per square meter) measurement determines the strength and durability of your boxes. For cosmetic packaging, we offer several options to match your specific needs.
- Single Wall Corrugated: Available in 32 ECT (Edge Crush Test) rated stock, suitable for lighter cosmetic products like lipsticks, mascara, and sample sizes
- Double Wall Corrugated: 48 ECT rated, ideal for heavier cosmetic sets, fragrance bottles, and multi-product bundles
- Kraft Linerboard: 100-200 GSM options provide excellent printability for brand graphics and product information
- Test Linerboard: Cost-effective alternative with 100-150 GSM, suitable for budget-conscious cosmetic brands
- White Linerboard: Premium 150-250 GSM options for vibrant full-color printing and luxury cosmetic presentations
All our corrugated materials are available with FSC-certified paper options by specification, ensuring responsible forest management practices. The combination of quality linerboard and fluting provides cushioning that protects delicate cosmetic formulations during shipping and handling.
Customization Options
Your cosmetic brand is unique, and your packaging should reflect that.
We offer comprehensive customization options for corrugated cosmetics boxes, allowing you to create packaging that truly represents your brand identity. From dimensional variations to finishing techniques, every element can be tailored to your specifications.
Print capabilities include flexographic printing for cost-effective single-color designs, offset printing for photorealistic imagery, and digital printing for short runs with complex artwork. You can incorporate your logo, brand colors, product benefits, and decorative elements that capture attention on retail shelves.
Beyond printing, we offer additional customization features such as custom die-cut windows to showcase products, magnetic closures for premium unboxing experiences, tissue paper inserts, and custom foam or cardboard partitions to secure multiple items within a single box. These details elevate your packaging from functional to extraordinary.

Sustainability Commitment
Modern consumers increasingly prioritize environmentally responsible brands, and your packaging choices demonstrate your commitment to sustainability. Corrugated cosmetics boxes from Teal Packaging align with eco-conscious values without compromising on quality or presentation.
All our corrugated materials are available with recyclable options by specification and compostable. The paper-based construction breaks down naturally in composting environments, reducing landfill waste. We use soy-based inks exclusively for all printing, which are derived from renewable resources and produce vibrant results without harmful chemicals found in traditional petroleum-based inks.
Choosing corrugated packaging also supports circular economy principles. These boxes can be recycled multiple times, and the fibers retain their quality through several recycling cycles. By selecting sustainable packaging, you reduce your brand's environmental footprint while appealing to environmentally conscious consumers.
