Custom Cosmetic Boxes

Custom Cosmetic Boxes That Elevate Your Beauty Brand

In the beauty industry, packaging is the first impression. Before a customer ever tries your product, they judge it by the box. At Teal Packaging, we create custom cosmetic boxes with luxury finishes that match the quality of what is inside, from skincare serums and foundation to lipsticks and eyeshadow palettes.

Our cosmetic packaging is built on 350gsm to 500gsm SBS paperboard, giving you a smooth, bright white surface that reproduces colors with photographic accuracy. For luxury lines, we offer rigid setup boxes with magnetic closures, soft-touch lamination, and custom foam or velvet inserts that cradle each product.

Finishes That Make Beauty Packaging Pop

• Foil Stamping: Gold, silver, rose gold, or holographic foil for logos and accents
• Embossing/Debossing: Raised or recessed textures that customers can feel
• Spot UV: Glossy highlights on a matte background for contrast
• Soft-Touch Lamination: A velvety finish that screams luxury
• Holographic Paper: Rainbow-shifting substrate for trend-forward brands
• Window Cutouts: Clear PET windows so customers can see the product inside

Cosmetic Box Types We Produce

Foundation and serum boxes (tuck-end with insert), lipstick boxes (slim tuck-end, typically 1"x1"x3.5"), eyeshadow palette boxes (book-style with magnetic closure), skincare set boxes (rigid boxes with dividers), makeup brush sets (drawer-style boxes), and subscription beauty boxes (custom mailer boxes with branded interior).

What Sets Our Cosmetic Packaging Apart

We work with indie beauty brands launching their first product line and established brands refreshing their packaging. Our design team provides free mockups and 3D renders before production so you can see exactly how your box will look. We handle everything from structural design to print-ready files.

Every cosmetic box is produced with food-grade safe materials and non-toxic inks. For brands selling in the EU or through retailers like Sephora, Target, or Ulta, we ensure compliance with packaging requirements including barcode placement, ingredient panel sizing, and tamper-evident features.

Sustainability in Beauty Packaging

Consumers are demanding sustainable beauty packaging. We offer FSC-certified paper options, soy-based inks, recyclable inserts (replacing plastic), and eco-friendly packaging options that reduce your environmental footprint without sacrificing shelf appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What material is best for cosmetic boxes?

SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) paperboard in 350gsm to 500gsm is the industry standard for cosmetic packaging. It provides a smooth white surface for high-quality printing. For luxury lines, rigid board (1200gsm+) wrapped in specialty paper gives a premium weight and feel.

Can you make custom inserts for cosmetic boxes?

Yes. We produce die-cut cardboard inserts, EVA foam inserts, flocked (velvet) trays, and molded pulp holders. These keep products like glass bottles, compacts, and tubes secure during shipping and create an upscale unboxing experience.

What is the minimum order for custom cosmetic boxes?

100 units. This makes it accessible for indie beauty brands doing small batch launches. Pricing improves significantly at 500 and 1,000+ units.

How long does production take?

7 to 14 business days from approved artwork to delivery. Rush production is available for an additional fee. Free shipping to all US addresses.

Do you offer Pantone color matching?

Yes. We match Pantone colors for brand consistency. This is especially important for beauty brands where packaging color must precisely match your brand guidelines.
