Description
Overview

Nail Polish Boxes

Dense glass in a small footprint — and a shade that four-colour printing cannot reach.

A 15ml bottle carries thick glass and a weighted base on 1.4 inches square, so the base takes real load. Metallic and glitter lacquers defeat CMYK entirely, which is why windows are common.

Crafted to specification

Every detail. Intentional.

Auto-bottom for the density

Weight concentrated on a small base.

CMYK misses metallics

Pearls and glitters cannot be printed.

A window is the honest answer

It shows the actual lacquer colour.

Or spot colour per family

Matched to the shade rather than approximated.

The diamond goes on the shipper

Not on the retail carton.

Gloss matches the lacquer

A glossy carton reads consistent, not loud.

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
18pt SBS
The standard. Bright coated white, and enough caliper to take the concentrated weight of a glass polish bottle.
Standard
20pt SBS
Specified for multipacks and for bottles with heavy weighted bases, where the extra stiffness pays.
Heavier
Metallised Board
Reflective substrate that gets closer to a metallic lacquer than four-colour process ever will.
Metallic shades
Holographic Board
Diffraction surface matched to glitter and duochrome polish ranges.
Glitter ranges
Window Film
Clear PET or plant-based PLA panel showing the actual bottle colour. Solves shade accuracy outright.
Shade honesty
Finish
Gloss Lamination
Matches the product. Lacquer is glossy, so a glossy carton reads as consistent rather than loud.
Most popular
Spot UV
Selective shine over matte, frequently used to make a printed shade swatch look like wet lacquer.
Swatch device
Cold Foil
Inline metallic that accepts CMYK on top, which is the closest print gets to a pearlescent shade.
Metallic shades
Die-Cut Window
An aperture showing the bottle. Removes the colour-matching problem instead of trying to solve it.
Honest option
Matte Lamination
The counterpoint. A flat carton makes the gloss of the bottle inside look deliberate.

Sizing & dieline.

Every Nail Polish 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.

Nail Polish 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 Nail Polish Boxes.

Photography of the applied nail color is the most accurate representation. Color-matched background panels (matching the polish shade) create immediate visual connection to product. Paint brush or swatch imagery showing the actual formula opacity and finish (sheer, cream, glitter) sets accurate expectations. Relying on ink color alone to represent polish color is risky — CMYK print reproduction of metallic, glitter, or sheer polish finishes rarely captures the formula character accurately.
Nail polish is classified as a cosmetic by FDA and requires: product identity, net quantity, manufacturer or distributor name and address, INCI ingredient list, and any required warnings (flammable, keep out of reach of children for solvent-based formulas). Many state regulations (California Prop 65) require additional warnings for certain chemical compounds. A compliance review of the specific formulation against your distribution states is essential before label finalization.
A system design where the shade number and name change across SKUs while the structural and graphic architecture remains constant. Color-coded backgrounds in the shade's approximate hue communicate the color family while allowing precise photography to communicate the exact shade. Digital printing at low quantities per shade allows large shade ranges to be managed without excessive inventory commitment on any single SKU.
