Packlogic produces face oil boxes for skincare, makeup and haircare brands across the United States. Every order is made to the dimensions you give us, so you are not paying for empty space or forcing a product into a stock size. You choose the material, the structure and the finish; we print your artwork and send you a proof to approve before anything goes to press. Below you will find the options in plain terms.
Who uses face oil boxes
Most orders for face oil boxes come from skincare, makeup and haircare brands. The right specification depends on how the product reaches the buyer. A pack that sits on a retail shelf needs a strong front panel and a barcode in an easy place. One that ships direct to the customer needs to survive handling. One that is given as a gift needs to open well. Tell us how you sell and we will point you to the structure and material that suit it.
Materials
The material sets the strength, the feel and the print quality of the finished box. These are the options we use most for face oil boxes.
- SBS cardstock (14pt to 24pt). A bright white board with a smooth coated surface. It holds fine type, skin tones and small ingredient text cleanly, which is why most beauty cartons use it.
- Natural kraft board. Unbleached brown board with visible fibre. It suits clean-beauty and organic lines and prints well in one or two dark ink colors.
- Rigid chipboard (2mm to 3mm). Thick greyboard wrapped in printed paper. Used for gift sets, PR kits and premium launches where the box is kept after opening.
- Corrugated E-flute. A thin fluted board for subscription kits and direct-to-customer shipments that need crush protection without a second outer carton.
Styles and structure
The structure you pick affects how the pack opens, how much weight it carries and how fast it can be filled. Common options for face oil boxes include straight tuck end, reverse tuck end, auto-lock bottom, sleeve and tray, two-piece lid and base and magnetic closure rigid. Simple tuck-style and fold-over closures are quick to assemble by hand and cost the least. Locking bases, inserts and two-piece or magnetic constructions add strength and presentation value. If you have a sample of packaging you like, send a photo and the measurements and we can work from that.
Printing and finishes
Artwork is printed in CMYK, with Pantone spot colors available for exact brand matches. You can print one side or both. A protective coating follows: gloss for brighter color, matte for a flat, glare-free look, or soft-touch for a smooth, velvet-like surface. For more impact you can add metallic foil, embossing or debossing, or spot UV on chosen areas. These are optional. A clean design on good material with a single well-chosen finish usually looks better than several effects competing on one panel.
Sizes
There is no fixed size list for face oil boxes; every order is cut to the dimensions you supply. The table shows common starting points so you can see what is typical. Use it as a reference, then measure your own product, because containers and products with the same stated capacity often differ by several millimetres.
| Size | Typical dimensions | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Lip and eye products | 0.875 x 0.875 x 3.5 in | lipstick, mascara, liner |
| 15 ml / 0.5 oz bottle | 1.25 x 1.25 x 3.5 in | serum, face oil |
| 30 ml / 1 oz bottle | 1.5 x 1.5 x 4.25 in | serum, foundation, toner |
| 50 ml / 1.7 oz jar | 2.75 x 2.75 x 2.25 in | cream, balm, mask |
| 100 ml / 3.4 oz tube | 2 x 1.5 x 6.25 in | cleanser, lotion, sunscreen |
| 250 ml / 8 oz bottle | 2.5 x 2.5 x 7.5 in | shampoo, body lotion |
What to check before you order
Beauty cartons carry a lot of required text in a small space: ingredient lists, net contents, directions, warnings and a batch or expiry area. Plan a panel for this before the artwork starts so it does not get squeezed into 4pt type later. If the product is fragile glass, a paperboard insert or a snug fit matters more than heavier board.
Custom packaging is worth the effort because small details add up. A pack that fits closely needs less filler and costs less to ship. A panel that states clearly what the product is reduces questions and returns. A consistent look across your range makes each product easier to find the next time a customer shops. None of this requires an expensive specification, only one that has been thought through.
Artwork
For the best print result, supply artwork as a vector PDF, AI or EPS file with fonts outlined and images at 300 dpi or higher. Add 0.125 in of bleed beyond every cut line and keep text at least 0.125 in inside it, so that small movements during cutting do not leave white edges or trim your text. If you do not have a dieline, we will send one in the correct size for your designer to work on.
How ordering works
Ordering is straightforward. Send us the size, quantity, material and any finishes you want, along with your artwork if it is ready. We reply with a quote. Once you approve it, we prepare a dieline, which is the flat template of your box, and place your artwork on it. You receive a digital proof showing every panel, fold and cut. Nothing is printed until you approve that proof, so check spelling, colors, barcodes and required text carefully. Unit price depends mostly on quantity, size, material and finishes, and it falls as quantity rises because setup costs are shared across more pieces. Minimum quantities and production time vary with the specification, so ask about both when you request your quote.
Questions about face oil boxes
What file format do you need for artwork?
A print-ready PDF, AI or EPS file is best, with fonts outlined, images at 300 dpi and 0.125 in bleed. If you need a dieline template, ask and we will send one.
What sizes do face oil boxes come in?
Any size. Each order is made to the length, width and height you give us. The size table on this page shows common dimensions, but your own product’s measurements should decide the final size.
Are there eco-friendly options?
Yes. Kraft and recycled materials, water-based coatings and plastic-free structures are available for most products. Ask for these when you request a quote.
Will I see a proof before printing?
Yes. You receive a digital proof on the dieline showing all panels. Production starts only after you approve it.
Can you match my brand colors?
Yes. Give us your Pantone references and we will print those as spot colors or match them as closely as CMYK allows.
