About our soap boxes
Soap packaging has to look good at a market stall or in a bathroom-goods aisle, keep the bar clean and, for many natural soaps, let the scent come through. We make soap boxes and sleeves for handmade soap makers, natural skincare brands and hotel and spa amenities.
Every box is sized to your bar, so it sits snugly without crushing the edges, and printed with your brand, ingredients and scent. Orders start at 10 boxes, which suits small-batch makers testing new scents.
Soap packaging styles
Choosing the board
| Board | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Kraft paperboard | Handmade and natural soap | Organic look; takes dark inks and white ink well |
| SBS paperboard, 14 to 18 pt | Colorful retail soap boxes | Bright white for full-color print |
| Grease-resistant coated board | Oily or high-butter bars | Stops oil marks showing through the print |
What affects the price of soap boxes
Every box is made to order, so each order is quoted individually. These are the things that move the price most, in order:
- Style. A simple printed sleeve is the most economical; full boxes, windows and rigid gift boxes cost more.
- Board. Kraft and white paperboard cost about the same; heavier board for large bars adds a little.
- Windows. A die-cut window with film adds a gluing step; an open cut-out without film costs less.
- Print and finish. One-color print on kraft costs less than full color with lamination.
- Quantity. The unit price falls steeply as quantity rises, and soap boxes are small, so larger runs are very economical.

Letting the soap breathe
Cold-process and natural soaps keep curing and releasing scent after they are packed. Sleeves, open windows and small vent cut-outs let air reach the bar and let customers smell it, while a fully closed carton keeps it cleaner for retail shelves. Tell us how your soap is made and sold and we recommend the right style.
Soap labeling
In the US, a bar that is true soap and is sold only for cleaning is regulated as a consumer product, while a bar marketed with cosmetic claims such as moisturizing or deodorizing is treated as a cosmetic and needs cosmetic labeling, including an ingredient list. We leave room on the box for ingredients, net weight and your contact details, and print the content you supply.
How ordering works
