Overview

Bold Boxes for a Bright and Bold Product

Lipstick has practically been a staple for many makeup kits since the dawn of civilization, and people can’t seem to get enough of them, as seen in the vast variety of colors and styles currently available through drugstores, supermarkets, department store beauty counters, and boutiques.

In a constantly – and increasingly – competitive market, however, what does it take for a brand to stand out from all others? While a good product is always a win for any brand, getting the product noticed at first sight is a challenge that should not be taken lightly and that calls for creative approaches in packaging. Eye-catching boxes designed either with a starkly minimalist look or with decadent colors and patterns tend to be snatched off shelves faster than products in plain, uninspired packaging.

The Need for Inspired Packaging

Custom packaging is a cosmetic maker’s best friend. The right product box should capture both corporate and brand identity through a carefully considered mix of colors, words, and images that convey the best qualities of the lipstick within.

Not only that: products need to get to customers in one piece, which means that packaging should serve as protection during transit as opposed to merely showing off a brand. Good packaging holds up well during transport and against the rigors of storage and display – which means it has to be stackable or, at the very least, easily arranged on a store shelf.

This is where Packola can give you a helping hand.

Designed by You, Customized for You

Packola enables you to create a unique box for your lipsticks in just minutes. Our easy-to-use online design studio helps you build your box based on your specifications: simply input the necessary details, and you can start working on your box.

This unique design tool lets you see how your custom box will look like in 3D, either with the lid opened or closed. You can add decorative details such as logos, images, color patterns, and text to put your brand’s stamp on your packaging, making it totally your own.

You can choose from a selection of high-quality materials for your box, build it within the range of several specific styles, add lamination to make it stand out, and even add custom details to create boxes that are as bold as the lipsticks they hold.

Whether your brand wants to present your products as cheeky and playful or bold and sophisticated, Packola takes the guesswork out of box-making – and the only thing limiting you is your own imagination.

The Style You Need for a Stylish Product

Our standard-sized lipstick boxes have the following interior dimensions:

  • Length: 0.75" x 30"
  • Width: 0.75" x 20"
  • Height: 1.75" x 20"

Construction of the actual box will depend on the dimensions of the product inside. You may choose any of the following styles for your boxes:

  • Straight Tuck End
  • Reverse Tuck End
  • Snap Lock Bottom (1-2-3 Lock)
  • Auto Bottom
  • Seal End

For custom sizes, email us at info@packola.com for a custom quote based on your specifications.

Great Materials Matter for Lipstick Boxes

High-Quality Cardstock which is light yet durable, making it ideal for packaging individual items. Available in the following thicknesses:

Q: How do I know what box size I need?
A:

Start by measuring the items you want to put inside the box. You can assemble and group the products together to simulate how it would look like packed inside. Measure the length, width, and depth of the space it occupies. Add an inch or two on the sides to make it easy to pack and unpack. 

Q: Can I order a sample?
A:

Yes. For a competitive price, you can order a sample with your own artwork and dimensions. Please set Quantity to "1 sample" on the configuration widget and proceed to order.

Q: Do you offer Free Samples?
A:

No. All samples are made to order with your own artwork and dimensions. We do not offer pre-made samples or material kits.

A:

We offer Standard (8-10 business days) and Rush (4-5 business days) production turnarounds for Cardstock Product Boxes while 4-15 business days production turnarounds for Corrugated Product Boxes.

Q: I am a reseller. Can you waive my sales taxes?
A:

Yes, however, we need you to submit your resale certificate before placing your order. We have limited ability to refund sales taxes after an order is placed.

Q: How can I design my box?
A:

We have an Online Design Studio that makes it super easy to add logo, texts, and graphics to your box within minutes. You may also design using a professional desktop application like Adobe Illustrator® and send us a complete artwork.

Q: Do you charge extra based on the number of colors and the amount of ink on the box?
A:

No. You may cover your box with as many colors as you want at no extra charge.

Q: Are shipping boxes reusable?
A:

Yes, our shipping boxes can be reused, repurposed, and recycled. We recommend upcycling the boxes in-house and not using them to ship products again to customers.  

Q: What is an RSC Box?
A:

RSC stands for regular slotted container. It is the most common box style for shipping and storage boxes. It’s characterized by two outer flaps that meet at the center and needs to be sealed with packaging tape. 

Q: What is an FOL Box?
A:

FOL stands for full overlap box. The flaps of the box extend all the way to the opposite side. This adds extra padding and increases durability and protection.

Everything I could have asked for

The Packola Team was everything I could have asked for when starting my subscription box company. Their customer service is excellent, they worked with me tirelessly to make sure I was getting everything I needed, and I was very impressed with their knowledge and ability to share their knowledge with me in a way I could understand with no previous box experience. The build your box feature on the website is top of the line, and would highly recommend them to anyone with their box needs.

Packola: Thank you very much, Chase! Learning about PeakFooty and working on your custom mailer boxes was a lot of fun and we are so glad that you guys were happy with the quality of the boxes and timeliness of delivery. We look forward to hearing great news about PeakFooty and having you as a customer for years!

Appreciate the support

My box looks wonderful, thank you so much. I had issues with the editing process, but in the end it worked out fine. Customer service helped me out each step of the way, even providing me with a design element when mine wasn't sufficient. I appreciate the level of the support. You all definitely have my business.

Strong and Durable

My order arrived in great shape today. I put a few of them together and they look and feel great! I'm very happy with the construction and the box feels very strong and durable for future journeys through the post. It was my first order with Packola and I'm very happy with the website, communication and quality. I'll definitely mention it to friends and will be back for more when I'm ready.

Awesome company

They make every effort to get your order exactly as you want it. I wanted a certain font that wasn't on their website and they went out of their way to add it to my order. Very happy and will definitely be using them again!
