Description
Overview

Cosmetic Subscription Boxes

A shipper with no outer case — it takes the network alone and still has to open well.

Sortation, drops and stacked compression, then a reveal on camera. Every subscription box negotiates between those two, and the ones that fail optimised for the photograph.

The Library

Every surface, hand-selected.

What this product is built from, and the surfaces it takes. Below the build sheet, the full swatch library — every option applies across our range, and a physical swatch set is available on request.

Material
E-Flute Corrugated
The subscription standard. Enough protection for beauty-weight contents at a workable board cost.
Standard
B-Flute Corrugated
Thicker flute for curations containing glass bottles or heavier full-size product.
Glass contents
Litho Lamination
Offset sheet bonded to corrugated, giving photographic print quality on a shipping-grade box.
Print quality
PCW Recycled Board
Recycled content with FSC certification. Widely expected in a category with monthly repeat delivery.
Sustainable
Paperboard Insert
Folded platform holding items in fixed positions, controlling both protection and reveal order.
Layout
Finish
Interior Print
Printing the inside face. The cheapest meaningful upgrade in the whole category.
Highest impact
Matte Lamination
Low glare, which matters because these boxes are photographed under ring lights constantly.
Photographs well
Soft-Touch
Velvet hand on the outer. Noticed at the doorstep, before the box is even opened.
Premium
Spot UV
Selective gloss on the lid, usually over a monthly theme or seasonal graphic.
Monthly variation
Uncoated Kraft
No laminate at all, keeping the box straightforwardly recyclable — increasingly the deliberate choice.

Sizing & dieline.

Every Cosmetic Subscription Boxes is cut to a dieline built around your product — not pulled off a shelf. Send us the length, width and height of the item (or the item itself) and we return a measured dieline, free, before you commit to anything.

How to measure
01
Measure the product

Length, width and height of the item itself, at its widest points — not the box you happen to use today.

02
Add clearance

Allow 2–4 mm on each axis for a snug fit, and more if you are adding foam, a pillow insert or tissue.

03
Give us the order

We quote as Length × Width × Height. Tell us whether you are working in millimetres or inches and we match it.

✦ Not sure of your size? Send us the product — we measure it and build the dieline.

What It Costs

Pricing & minimums.

Cosmetic Subscription Boxes is priced per specification rather than from a fixed list — the same box in two different finishes can land at very different numbers. Below is what actually moves the price, so you can shape the spec before you request a quote.

What moves the price
Quantity

The single biggest lever. Unit cost falls sharply as volume rises, because setup and tooling spread across more pieces.

Material and thickness

Board weight and stock choice change both the raw material cost and the shipping weight of the finished run.

Finishing

Foil, spot UV, embossing and soft-touch each add a pass on press. One or two lift the box; five compound the cost.

Print coverage

Full-bleed print inside and out costs more than a one-sided design on natural stock.

Inserts and hardware

Foam, moulded pulp, velvet pillows, magnets and ribbon are priced per piece on top of the box itself.

Timeline

Standard production is the base rate. Rush moves you up the production queue and carries a surcharge.

— Frequently Asked Questions —

Questions, answered.

Everything you need to know about Cosmetic Subscription Boxes.

FDA cosmetic labeling requires product identity, net quantity, manufacturer or distributor name and address, and INCI ingredient list. For color cosmetics specifically, colorants used must be FDA-approved for cosmetic use. Any SPF claims transform the product into an OTC drug requiring Drug Facts labeling. State-specific requirements (California Prop 65) may add warning requirements for specific ingredients. Confirm your labeling requirements with a cosmetic regulatory consultant before finalizing packaging copy.
Color-accurate shade identification on packaging — through photography of the applied product, color swatch panels, or shade name and number systems — allows customers to navigate the range accurately. Shade-coded design systems (each shade has a corresponding background color family) create visual range navigation that experienced cosmetics buyers appreciate. The challenge is maintaining print accuracy for shades that must match the actual product.
Category convention should anchor the finish decision. Clinical skincare: matte with clean typography. Premium color cosmetics: gloss with vibrant photography. Prestige: soft-touch matte with foil accents. The finish should create expectations that the product inside validates — a matte box suggests a sophisticated, muted formula; a high-gloss box suggests bold, vibrant color performance.
