Your cosmetic products deserve packaging that protects, preserves. And promotes. Our custom cosmetics packaging solutions connect your brand with manufacturing partners who understand the unique requirements of beauty product packaging, from moisture resistance to visual appeal. We deliver packaging that elevates your products and reinforces brand recognition.

The cosmetics industry demands packaging that balances multiple priorities: product protection, shelf appeal, regulatory compliance, and sustainability. Our custom cosmetics packaging addresses each requirement through thoughtful engineering and premium materials that reflect the quality inside.

Material Options and Specifications

Custom cosmetics packaging requires carefully selected materials that protect formulations while providing excellent print surfaces for branding. We offer diverse material options to match your product type and brand positioning.

  • Rigid boxes: 800-1000gsm paperboard for premium presentation
  • Folding cartons: 300-400gsm for cost-effective retail packaging
  • Corrugated shipping boxes: 32-48 ECT for e-commerce fulfillment
  • Paper tubes: 300-400gsm for creams, balms, and serums
  • Flexible pouches: Multi-layer laminates for liquids and travel sizes

Material selection depends on your product formulation, shipping requirements, retail environment, and budget. Our team provides material recommendations based on your specific product characteristics and market positioning.

Custom Design and Branding

Our free design support team collaborates with you to develop packaging that authentically represents your brand. Share your vision, and we translate it into production-ready artwork that maximizes visual impact.

Size Options and Dimensions

Custom cosmetics packaging is available in virtually any size to accommodate your specific product formulations and filling requirements. Standard sizes simplify tooling and reduce costs, while custom dimensions provide perfect fit for unique products.

  • Sample and tester sizes: 2 x 2 x 1 inches to 3 x 3 x 2 inches

Provide your product dimensions, and we develop packaging that fits perfectly. Proper fit prevents product damage during shipping and optimizes your packaging costs by eliminating excess material.

Can I get packaging that meets specific regulatory requirements?

Digital proofs provide preliminary color reference, with physical proofs available for final approval.

Production Checklist

How to Plan Custom cosmetics

Use this page to brief Teal before quoting. The strongest custom cosmetics requests include structure, size, artwork stage, material target, quantity, ship-to country, and any compliance or retail display needs.

1. Confirm structure and fit

Share the packed product size, preferred box style, insert needs, and whether the package ships directly or sits on a retail shelf. If you are unsure, Teal can suggest a mailer, folding carton, sleeve, rigid setup box, tray, or insert direction.

2. Choose board and finish

Match the material to weight, shipping risk, shelf life, and brand feel. Common choices include kraft, SBS, corrugated, rigid board, recycled paperboard, matte lamination, gloss lamination, foil, embossing, debossing, and spot UV.

3. Prepare artwork and proofing

Upload logos, dielines, color references, barcodes, warnings, ingredient panels, or compliance copy before proofing. Teal checks print placement, bleed, safe zones, panel orientation, and finishing details before production starts.

4. Lock quantity and timeline

Quote accuracy improves when you include target quantity, launch date, shipping destination, and rush requirements. Standard production can begin after proof approval, and sample kits help compare materials before a larger custom order.

For faster pricing, include photos of your current packaging, competitor references, retail display rules, shipping carton requirements, and any sustainability goals. Teal can quote the closest production-ready option first, then refine dielines, inserts, coatings, print coverage, and carton strength after your team reviews the proof.
