Eyeshadow Boxes are compact folding cartons for makeup brands packaging single shadows, pressed palettes, and quad sets, built from SBS paperboard and custom-printed to carry your color story onto the shelf.
A snug paperboard carton cradles pressed powder pans so they survive transit without cracking, and a foil-stamped logo gives a small box outsized presence in a crowded beauty aisle. For palette launches, an auto-bottom carton speeds hand-packing on short production runs so you ship a new collection faster.

Palette Carton Runs for Beauty Brands
Pressed powder cracks under point pressure, so a palette needs support across its whole face rather than at the corners. A close fitting carton with minimal free movement does more than a thicker board with slack. Soft touch lamination suits deep colors, and a spot gloss over a logo gives contrast without adding another print pass.
