Purpose-Built for Fragile Beauty Vials
Serum bottles are small, often glass, and top-heavy with a dropper cap — a poor fit for generic boxes means rattling, scuffed labels, or breakage in transit. We build the interior dimensions around your specific bottle, with insert options that hold the vial snug against the box wall so it doesn’t shift during shipping. For a broader look at custom skincare carton options, see our Custom Serum Boxes line.
Common Use Cases
- Facial serums and oils: single-bottle retail cartons with a premium unboxing feel.
- Subscription boxes: serum SKUs packaged for recurring beauty box shipments.
- Gift sets: serum cartons designed to nest inside larger gift packaging.
- Sample and travel sizes: smaller-format cartons for trial-size serums.
Material and Finish Options
SBS paperboard is the standard for its smooth, print-ready surface, with rigid two-piece board available for a heavier, more luxurious feel on premium SKUs. Foil stamping, embossing, and spot UV are popular finishes for serum lines competing on a beauty shelf.
