Tincture boxes hold small glass dropper bottles, typically 15ml to 120ml. If you sell CBD oils, herbal supplements, essential oil blends, or homeopathic remedies, your tincture packaging needs to protect glass, comply with labeling regulations, and communicate the quality of what is inside. Custom tincture boxes from Teal Packaging start at $1.50/unit at 100+ pieces.
Sizing for Tincture Bottles
Tincture bottles come in standard sizes, and the box dimensions need to match precisely:
- 15ml (0.5oz): Box size approximately 1.2x1.2x3.5" with dropper cap
- 30ml (1oz): Box size approximately 1.5x1.5x4" (the most common tincture size)
- 60ml (2oz): Box size approximately 1.75x1.75x4.5"
- 120ml (4oz): Box size approximately 2x2x5.5"
Each box includes 3-5mm clearance around the bottle on all sides. Interior foam insert or corrugated divider holds the bottle centered and prevents movement during shipping. For related packaging needs, explore our eco-friendly kraft boxes.
Compliance and Label Requirements
Tincture packaging, especially for CBD and supplements, requires specific information on the box exterior:
- Product name and volume (ml and oz)
- Ingredients list (active and inactive)
- Supplement Facts panel (if applicable)
- Manufacturer name and address
- Batch/lot number and expiration date
- QR code linking to Certificate of Analysis (COA) for CBD products
- FDA disclaimer ("This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease")
- State-specific warnings where applicable
Our design team creates compliant layouts that fit all required text without looking cramped. We use 6-7pt minimum for body text and 8pt for supplement facts to ensure legibility. For related packaging needs, explore our retail packaging.
Materials
- SBS 14-18pt: Most common for tincture boxes. Clean white surface. Supports detailed printing for small text and compliance info.
- Kraft 18-20pt: Natural look for herbal and organic brands. Slightly harder to read fine text due to the brown surface, so use light-colored ink backgrounds for compliance panels.

Print and Finishes
Matte lamination with spot UV on the logo is the most popular finish for tincture boxes. It looks clean, feels premium, and hides fingerprints. Gold or silver foil stamping on the brand name adds a luxury touch without driving costs up significantly (adds about $0.15 to $0.25/unit).

Tincture Bottle Compatibility
Not all tincture bottles fit in all boxes. Beyond the basics (15ml, 30ml, 60ml, 120ml), variations in cap styles, dropper types, and glass thickness affect fit:
Standard dropper caps: Most common. Capped height ranges from 55mm to For related packaging needs, explore our CBD boxes.75mm depending on bottle volume. Box dimensions must accommodate the capped height plus 5mm clearance. For related packaging needs, explore our beauty packaging.
Child-resistant caps: Push-and-turn or squeeze-and-turn mechanisms are taller than standard caps by 5-10mm. Factor this into your box dimensions.
Euro dropper caps: Shorter, more compact. Popular in European markets. Allow for smaller box dimensions.
Pump dispensers: Used for some topical products. Taller than droppers. Requires custom box sizing. For related packaging needs, explore our shipping mailers.
