What makes these Foundation Boxes a smart choice
- Built to the exact bottle or compact size to stop rattling and scuffing

Materials for reliable foundation packaging
TheBoxesSupplier offers SBS (16–24 pt), kraft, and metallized board. SBS gives bright, crisp color. Kraft supports natural brands. Metallized board adds a reflective look. For gift sets or fragile glass, E-flute micro-corrugate is available. All materials are cut and scored for tight, repeatable folds. This keeps foundation packaging neat from factory to customer.
Shapes and inserts that fit
- Straight tuck and reverse tuck boxes for most bottles and tubes
- Crash-lock (auto-bottom) bases for quicker packing and added strength
- Lock-bottom for heavier glass or dropper bottles
- Window options to show shade or compact design
- Paperboard collars or trays to hold droppers and pumps in place
These structures give brands flexible choices for foundation packaging boxes across different SKUs.
Branding made simple with custom foundation boxes
The design team starts with a dieline based on product size. A CAD sample can be supplied for a line test before printing. Brands can add inner print for care tips or shade charts. QR codes can lead customers to tutorials or shade finders. With custom foundation boxes, small layout tweaks—like moving the shade name to the top flap—can speed up picking and packing in busy warehouses.
Sharp color with printed foundation boxes
Offset CMYK with optional Pantone spots delivers accurate brand colors. Text for ingredients and warnings stays sharp at small sizes. Soft gradients for skin tones print cleanly. Spot UV and foil can highlight brand marks or shade bands. If needed, a white under-print on metallized board keeps neutrals true. These details make printed foundation boxes look premium and consistent across shades.
Finishes and touches customers notice
- All types of trending laminates.
- Aqueous or UV coating
- Foil in gold, silver, rose, or custom colors
- Emboss or deboss on logos and shade badges
- Tear-proof tabs for repeat opening on testers
- Tamper seals or labels for retail compliance
Each option is selected to match the use case and the budget for foundation packaging boxes.
Sustainable choices
Many beauty buyers ask for greener packaging. TheBoxesSupplier.com supports FSC®-certified boards, soy-based inks, and water-based coatings. Window films can be removed or changed to plant-based films. Glue-less locks are possible on some structures. These changes keep custom packaging boxes attractive while reducing waste.

Built for retail and e-commerce
Store shelves need strong color and clean edges. Online orders need protective mailers. TheBoxesSupplier.com supplies inner cartons for retail and outer mailers for shipping.
