In short

About our lotion & cream boxes
Lotions and creams come in tubes, jars, pumps and bottles, and many are heavy for their size. The carton has to hold that weight without the bottom opening, keep a pump from being pressed in transit and carry a long ingredient list.
We make cartons sized to your container, with auto-lock bottoms and inserts where needed, printed with your brand, from 10 boxes.
Lotion and cream packaging
Choosing the board
| Board | Best for | Notes |

| SBS paperboard, 16 to 24 pt | Most retail cartons | Bright white for accurate color |
| SBS 24 pt | Heavy jars and pumps | Stiffer walls and base |
| Kraft paperboard | Natural brands | Organic look |
What affects the price of lotion & cream boxes
Every box is made to order, so each order is quoted individually. These are the things that move the price most, in order:
- Base. An auto-lock bottom for heavy jars and pumps adds gluing.
- Inserts. A collar or insert that protects a pump adds material.
- Finishes. Soft-touch, foil and embossing add steps.
- Quantity. The unit price falls steeply as quantity rises.
Send your size, quantity and artwork through the quick quote form for a firm price within 24 hours.
Protecting pumps and jars
A pump that is pressed in transit leaks. A collar insert or a snug carton height keeps the pump locked down, and an auto-lock base stops a heavy jar from pushing through the bottom.
Labeling
Cosmetics sold in the US need the product identity, net quantity, ingredient list and the name and place of business on the outer package, with a contact for adverse event reports under MoCRA. We leave room for it and print the content you supply. Products that make drug claims, such as sunscreens, follow FDA drug labeling rules instead.
How ordering works
- Send your specs. Product size, quantity and artwork (or just a logo). A packaging specialist replies with a firm quote within 24 hours.
- Approve the proof. We send a dieline and a 3D proof so you can see the box before it is made.
- Production. 8–12 business days in our own facility, or 5 days on rush.
- Delivery. Boxes ship flat to you anywhere in the USA, free of charge.
