Foundation Boxes are custom-printed folding cartons made to hold liquid, powder, stick, and cushion foundations for cosmetic and beauty brands. Each carton is built from SBS or kraft paperboard and printed full color to your shade range and branding.
A precise carton cradles a glass foundation bottle or compact so it arrives intact and presents cleanly across a wide shade lineup. Auto-bottom construction speeds packing for heavier glass, while accurate CMYK reproduction keeps undertone names and shade swatches true to the product so customers pick the right match.
