Cosmetic Jar Boxes

Cosmetic Jar Boxes are custom-printed paperboard folding cartons sized for a single cosmetic jar, made for skincare, balm, and beauty brands that need shelf-ready packaging. Each carton uses 300-400gsm SBS or kraft board with full-color CMYK printing.

A clean folding carton turns a plain jar into a finished retail product, keeps the lid seated during shipping, and gives ingredient lists and directions a printed home. Beauty brands use these for face cream and moisturizer jars, lip and body balms, and curated skincare gift sets.

Skincare Carton Ordering at Brand Volume

Glass jars are heavy for their size, so the fitment matters as much as the carton. A folded paperboard platform lifts the jar off the base, a corrugated collar absorbs drop shock, and unsupported jars will fret against the print face in transit. Soft touch lamination hides fingerprints on darker artwork better than gloss does.
