Eyelash Packaging That Sells
Eyelash extensions are small, valuable products that need packaging which protects the lashes, displays attractively at retail, and communicates brand quality. Our custom lash boxes are sized for common lash trays and finished with premium details. Pricing starts at $0.58 each for standard sizes at 1,000+ quantity.
Box Configurations for Lash Products
Different lash types need different packaging:
- Single lash tray box: 4x2x0.5 inches, holds one standard tray
- Multi-tray box: 5x4x1 inch, holds 2-3 trays
- Mink lash box: 5x3x0.5 inches, premium positioning
- Cluster lash box: 3x3x1 inch, for volume clusters
- Lash kit box: 6x4x2 inches, holds multiple products
- Sample card: 4x3 inches, for single pair samples
Standard lash trays are approximately 3.5 inches long, 1.5 inches wide, and 0.25 inches thick. Measure your trays for custom sizing.
Window and Display Options
Windows show lash product without opening:
- Full lid window: shows entire tray, premium look
- Partial window: front panel opening, balances visibility and branding
- No window: fully printed, lower cost
Windows are popular for retail display because customers want to verify lash length and quality before purchase.
Material Choices
Material affects appearance and cost:
- 16pt SBS: lightweight, cost-effective, $0.58 each at 1,000 qty
- 18pt SBS: standard strength, slightly more durable, $0.65 each at 1,000 qty
- Black paperboard: luxury positioning, adds drama, add $0.12 per box
Black paperboard with gold foil stamping is the most popular premium combination for eyelash extensions.
Premium Finishing Options
Special finishes add visual appeal:
- Gloss UV: shiny, standard finish

- Soft-touch: premium feel, popular for beauty
- Foil stamping: gold or silver, luxury positioning
- Spot UV: glossy accents on matte
Black paperboard with gold foil and soft-touch coating is the standard premium lash packaging combination.
Printing and Branding
Lash packaging should convey quality and style:
- Brand name and logo
- Lash style: natural, dramatic, volume
- Length and curl: 8-15mm, B, C, D curl
- Material: mink, silk, synthetic
- Quantity: number of lashes
Clear labeling of length and curl helps customers select the right product. This information should be visible on the box front.
