Compact Boxes are small-footprint folding cartons built for compacts, pressed powders, blushes, and pocket-size cosmetics, printed full-color on your choice of SBS white or kraft paperboard. Custom-printed to your exact artwork, they protect a slim product without adding bulk to a handbag or shelf.
A tight, well-fitted carton keeps a thin compact from rattling or flexing in transit, and the printable inside panel gives you space for shade names or usage tips. Brands use them to make a low-cost item feel considered - a refill compact, a travel mirror, or a single-pan eyeshadow that needs a clean, branded home.
