Custom Foundation Boxes
Slim paperboard cartons sized to a foundation bottle, with a fitted insert.
A foundation box has a narrow job: hold a glass bottle, survive the shelf, and read your shade clearly from arm’s length. We print the carton to your exact bottle size with an insert that keeps it from sliding.
Run a whole shade range on one order. Each box can carry its own shade name and number while the structure stays identical across the line.
- Sized to your bottle, with a board insert that holds it upright
- Soft-touch, matte or gloss with foil shade names
- Optional window to show the glass and the shade
- Consistent structure across an entire shade range
“We were burned by a supplier who ghosted after payment. These folks sent photos from the press run without being asked. Trust earned.”
“Child-resistant, compliant in two states, and it still looks premium in the case. Their prepress team caught a labeling issue our lawyer missed.”
A narrow box with a specific job
A foundation box doesn't have much room to work with. It holds a slim glass bottle, it has to stand up on a crowded beauty shelf, and a shopper needs to read the shade from a step back. Get those three right and the box has done its job.
We print the carton to your exact bottle dimensions, with a board insert that keeps the bottle upright and stops it rattling. A bottle that slides inside its box is a bottle that arrives with a scuffed label.
Printing a full shade range
Most foundation lines run a dozen shades or more, and the boxes need to look like one family while telling shades apart at a glance. The structure stays identical across the range; only the shade name, number, and sometimes a color band change.
Running them together on one order keeps the unit cost down and the look consistent. You can foil the shade names so they catch the light, or keep it flat and clean.
Finish options
- Soft-touch laminate for a matte, premium hand feel
- Foil or spot-UV on the shade name and logo
- A die-cut window to show the glass and the actual shade
- Recyclable paperboard stock if that's part of your brand
The same structure works for serums, primers, and concealers, so a full face range can share one packaging system. Pair it with a printed packaging insert for a set, and when you're ready to price a run, get a quote.
