Whether you are a men or women, everyone likes to use the cosmetic products. Even I have seen some people who are willing to open small business startups, sometimes choose cosmetic products. But have you ever focused on the packaging of cosmetic products? Let’s discuss about the packaging boxes for cosmetic in the detail.
About 20 to 30 years ago people were using blank boxes for the packaging of their items including the cosmetic products. Blank packaging means the plain one without any printing on them. Its usually white in color and were used in the old times. Now the technology and trends are changed and companies have introduced offset printing on the boxes. When these boxes are prepared for the makeup and other related products. They are known as custom printed cosmetic boxes.
Material and Stock that is Used for Cosmetic Packaging
Most of the time companies use cardboard and kraft card stock for the preparation of cosmetic boxes. Their thickness is usually kept from 14 to 16pt but for the heavier products you can increase the thickness of the stock. After selection of the stock the next phase is called offset printing. Once you have finalized and selected your stock, just start working on the artwork. This artwork can be printed on the boxes using offset printing machines.
Most of the people like cosmetic display boxes, cream boxes, lipstick and lip gloss boxes etc. Moreover, roll end tuck style is also very common for the packaging of beauty products.
After printing of the artwork, you have the option of lamination that is an interesting part if you are buying the boxes for cosmetic products. Most the companies like to choose gloss lamination of their products if they are using the cardboard stock. While the option of lamination is not available for the kraft boxes.
Another option is the use of luxury rigid boxes for the beauty and cosmetic products. If your product is bit expensive than the rigid box can be the one of the best options. Actually, it all depends on your budget and product types. Usually the products that are fragile are packed using rigid or corrugated stock.
Corrugated stock is also an acceptable option with offset printing for the packaging of cosmetic products. They are a good choice if your product is fragile and budget is low for the rigid stock. All these options are available for the people of the United States as there are many several packaging companies working there. They are offering competitive market pricing along with free design support and free shipping to the United States as well.
