About our makeup & palette boxes
Makeup packaging sells color and personality. A palette sleeve is the cover of a collection, a kit box is the centerpiece of a launch or PR mailing, and both end up on social media. We make packaging for palettes, compacts, highlighters, lip products and full makeup collections.
Every box is sized to your component, from a slim single compact to a large palette or kit, and printed with your brand and artwork. Orders start at 10 boxes, so limited-edition shades and collaborations are easy to package.
Makeup packaging formats
Choosing the board
| Board | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SBS paperboard, 16 to 18 pt | Sleeves and compact boxes | Bright, accurate color |
| Holographic board | Bold, trend-led collections | Rainbow shine across the whole box |
| Metallic board | Glam and festive editions | Silver or gold base under the print |
| Rigid greyboard | Kits and collector editions | A keepsake box |
What affects the price of makeup & palette boxes
Every box is made to order, so each order is quoted individually. These are the things that move the price most, in order:
- Format. A printed sleeve over a palette is the most economical; full cartons and rigid kit boxes cost more.
- Special board and finishes. Holographic and metallic board, foil and soft-touch are popular in makeup and each add to the price.
- Inserts. Kits with several products need a multi-cavity insert.
- Quantity per shade. Shared structures with different printed designs per shade keep costs lower than unique boxes.
- Quantity. The unit price falls steeply as quantity rises.

Color-true printing for makeup
Makeup buyers expect the box to hint at the shades inside. We print brand and shade colors as Pantone spot colors where accuracy matters and proof the color before production. If your palette pans have a specific color story, send swatches or the product and we match the box to it.
Launches, collabs and PR kits
- Short runs for limited editions and influencer collaborations
- Kit boxes that present every product when the lid opens
- Inside printing for a message or launch artwork
- Matching mailers so kits arrive in perfect condition
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.
