Foundation Boxes are custom-printed folding cartons built to protect and present liquid, powder, and stick foundation for cosmetic and beauty brands. Each carton is made from SBS or kraft paperboard and printed in full color to match your shade range and brand look.
A snug paperboard carton keeps the bottle or compact from rattling in transit and gives your shade name, ingredients, and SPF claims a clean place to live on every panel. Brands launching a wide foundation lineup use these boxes to keep packaging consistent across light-to-deep shade extensions while still printing each box on demand.
