Cosmetics packaging from Teal is a custom-printed folding carton for lipsticks, foundations, serums, palettes, and the rest of your beauty line, made from smooth SBS paperboard and printed in full color. It suits indie makeup brands and established skincare labels alike.
A crisp printed carton gives small products real shelf presence and protects glass and pumps through shipping. Consistent artwork across SKUs builds a recognizable line customers spot from across an aisle. Beauty brands often run a matched set of cartons so a foundation, primer, and setting spray read as one cohesive collection.

Beauty Packaging Runs from Sample to Shelf
Cosmetic lines mix formats: folding cartons for serums and creams, sleeves for palettes, and die cut inserts that hold glass steady. Finish drives perception in this category, so foil accents, soft touch coats, and embossing get specced early and proofed carefully.
