Lipstick Boxes

Custom lipstick boxes are packaging solutions designed around your specific lipstick product—its size, shape, and branding. Instead of using generic cartons, you get lipstick packaging that protects the tube, reflects your brand’s style, and makes your product stand out in retail and online listings.

Lipstick is often a hero product in any makeup line, and the packaging is the first thing customers see. Well-designed lipstick boxes:

• Highlight your logo and brand colors
• Suggest quality before the product is even opened
• Help your lipsticks stand out on crowded shelves
• Create a memorable unboxing experience

In short, strong lipstick packaging supports both brand perception and sales.

Custom lipstick boxes can be tailored for more than just classic bullets. They can be designed for:

• Traditional lipstick tubes
• Liquid lipsticks and glosses
• Lip balms and tinted balms
• Lip crayons and pencils
• Lip care duos or sets

We size and structure each box to match your exact container or bundle.

The ideal material depends on your brand and product positioning. Popular options include:

• Cardboard / paperboard for everyday retail lipstick packaging
• Kraft for natural, eco-conscious lipstick brands
• Corrugated for shipping-focused outer packs or larger sets
• Rigid board for luxury lipstick gift boxes and limited editions

Each material offers different levels of strength, print quality, and perceived value.

Yes. Eco-friendly lipstick boxes can be produced using recyclable and more sustainable materials, such as kraft or responsibly sourced cardboard. Paired with smart design and minimal plastic, this helps align your lipstick packaging with cleaner, greener brand values.

Custom lipstick packaging is built to:

• Hold the tube securely in place
• Shield it from scratches, dents, and dust
• Add a layer of protection against moisture and handling
• Reduce the chance of damage in transit or on shelves

By fitting your product properly and using sturdy materials, the box helps your lipsticks reach customers in perfect condition.

Absolutely. You can customize:

• Base colors and patterns
• Logo placement and typography
• Finishes like matte, gloss, or soft-touch
• Special effects like foil, embossing, or spot UV

This means every lipstick box can look and feel like a direct extension of your brand identity.

There are several popular lipstick box styles, such as:

• Straight tuck-end and reverse tuck-end cartons
• Slide-out or drawer-style lipstick boxes
• Two-piece rigid boxes for high-end lipsticks
• Magnetic-closure boxes for luxury sets or PR kits

Each style can be tailored to your product size, budget, and desired unboxing experience.

You can combine different techniques to get the look you want, including:

• Digital or offset printing with CMYK or Pantone colors
• Matte, gloss, or soft-touch lamination
• Foil stamping for metallic logos or accents
• Embossing and debossing for raised or recessed details
• Spot UV to highlight certain areas with selective shine

These touches make lipstick packaging feel more premium and giftable.

• Add window cut-outs to show the lipstick bullet or shade label
• Use custom inserts to hold one or more lipsticks in place

These features improve visibility, organization, and overall presentation.

Yes. Lipstick boxes wholesale are available for brands, retailers, and subscription services that need consistent, branded packaging at scale. Bulk orders help bring down the per-unit cost while keeping quality and printing standards high across your entire lipstick range.

Most brands include a mix of:

• Brand name and logo
• Product name and collection
• Shade name or number
• Key features (matte, satin, long-wear, vegan, etc.)
• Net weight or volume
• Ingredient list and required warnings

We help you organize this information so it’s easy to read without cluttering the design.

Yes. A common approach is to create one master design and then customize:

• Shade names and numbers
• Small color accents or labels
• Barcodes or batch details

Minimum order quantities are set to keep custom printing efficient while still being realistic for smaller beauty brands and new launches. Whether you’re testing a few shades or rolling out a full lipstick collection, you can share your expected volume and we’ll suggest options that fit your stage and budget.

Production time depends on your design complexity, chosen finishes, and order size. The basic flow is:

1. You share your lipstick details, box style preferences, and branding.
2. A dieline is created or confirmed.
3. Artwork is finalized and approved.
4. Printing, finishing, and box production begins.

Yes. Samples or prototypes can be produced so you can check the size, fit, material feel, and print quality in real life. This is especially helpful for luxury lipstick boxes, unique finishes, or new structural designs.

We can support you with dielines, layout guidance, and artwork preparation. If you already have a design team, we’ll provide accurate box templates. If not, you can share your logo, colors, text, and inspiration, and we’ll help you turn that into a clean, professional lipstick packaging design that’s ready for print.
