Custom eyeshadow boxes are cartons made to hold compacts and palettes, which are typically flat and wide rather than tall. Because pressed powder can crack under pressure or when it slides, the carton is sized to hold the palette snugly and keep it flat during handling.
Protecting a flat palette
A palette that shifts in a loose carton can knock its edges and fracture the pans inside. A close fit, or an insert that seats the palette, keeps it still and cushioned. Since palettes often have a mirror in the lid, avoiding movement also protects that from cracking in transit.
Print on the lid
The flat lid is the natural print surface.
- Size the interior to hold the palette flat
- Consider an insert to seat the product
- Use the lid as the main print face
Ordering across a range
Palettes vary in size, so agreeing which share a carton keeps stock manageable while a shared print ties them together. Where a mirror or fragile pans are involved, an insert adds a production step worth raising early. Share the palette dimensions, whether an insert is needed and your lid artwork when you request a quote, so the fit and print can be planned together.
These boxes are made to your custom size. A sample with your palette confirms the fit and that the pans stay protected.
