Custom Eye Shadow Boxes are folding cartons built for cosmetic brands packaging single shades, palettes, or pressed-pigment compacts. Printed on SBS paperboard and made to your exact die line, each box presents the product cleanly on a shelf or in a kit.
A tuck-end carton holds the compact snug so it arrives without rattle, while full-color printing turns the panel into a place to show swatches and shade names buyers actually read. A custom insert keeps a multi-pan palette aligned, which matters when the box doubles as the merchandising tray on a beauty counter.

Palette Cartons, Trays and Volume Break Points
Palettes are flat, wide and heavy for their size, which makes the base panel the weak point. A supporting tray or a fitted platform spreads the weight and stops the carton bowing. Mirror equipped palettes add thickness that has to be measured with the lid closed. Wide flat panels also show every dent, so a laminate is worth specifying on darker artwork.
| Cartons ordered | Tray and finish notes |
|---|---|
| 50 | Fit check with the assembled palette and mirror. |
| 500 | One palette size with a supporting tray. |
| 1,000 | Single pan and palette formats from one system. |
| 5,000 | Soft touch laminate and foil become affordable. |
| 10,000+ | Beauty range supply from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Timing sits at about 7 business days for in-house eligible cartons and about 12 weeks once specialty imported board or a special finish enters the job. Mirror sourcing can stretch the latter. Tray cavity and closed lid clearance are drafted at no cost to you.
Provide palette footprint, closed thickness, weight, tray type, finish and cartons per launch.
