Description

Custom lipstick boxes are cartons made to hold lipstick tubes, the small bullet-style containers with a twist mechanism. The tubes are compact and worth protecting, so the carton is sized closely to keep the tube upright and stop it knocking about in a box that is too generous.

Protecting the tube

A loose tube slides and can be jolted, which risks the twist mechanism or the lipstick itself. A snug interior holds the tube steady and cushioned, and where you sell sets, an insert with cavities keeps several tubes apart and upright. Measure the closed tube, cap included, when sizing.

Print on small panels

Lipstick cartons are compact but detailed.

  • Measure the closed tube including its cap
  • Size the interior for a snug, upright fit
  • Use an insert for multi-tube sets

Ordering across shades

Lipstick ranges run to many shades at one tube size, so a shared carton with a changing label keeps stock simple across the line. Where sets use an insert, raise it at the quoting stage since it adds a step. Share the closed tube dimensions, the count per box for sets and your artwork when you request a quote, so the upright fit and print can be planned together.

These boxes are made to your custom size. A sample with your tube confirms the fit and that branding reads on the small panels.

Buyer’s guide — before you ask for a quote

Honest answers to help you specify this box. Where a detail depends on your job, we say so rather than guess.

What size should I order, and can you make it to my dimensions?
This box is made to your own size. Measure your product's length, width and height and allow a little clearance for easy packing, then send us those internal dimensions. Unsure of the best fit? Confirm with our team and we can advise or arrange a sample.
Which material and board weight is right for my product?
The material shown for this product is Premium cardboard. Other boards and weights may also suit your product depending on how much protection and rigidity you need. Tell us what you are packing and we can recommend a suitable option — Confirm with our team if you would like to compare.
What printing and finishing options can I ask about?
When you enquire it helps to tell us how many print colours you need (or whether you have Pantone references) and whether you want a finish such as matt or gloss lamination, soft-touch, spot UV, foil or embossing. Availability and cost of each finish depend on your box and quantity, so Confirm with our team to check what is possible for this product.
How should I prepare my artwork, and will I see a proof?
Supply print-ready artwork as a vector PDF or AI file with fonts outlined, images at 300dpi and any brand colours specified. If you do not yet have a dieline, ask us for one for this box so your design lines up with the cut and fold. We share a proof for you to approve before anything is printed — Confirm with our team for current proofing timescales and file requirements.
How is the price worked out?
This product is quoted to your specific job — request a free written quote for an exact price. We will not confirm a figure until we have your size, quantity and finish. Price depends on your size, quantity, board, number of print colours and any special finishes — larger quantities usually lower the unit cost.
What is the minimum order and how do I place an order?
The listed minimum order for this product is 100 units. To order, send us your size, quantity, material and finish for a free written quote, approve your proof, then we move to production. If you need a different quantity, Confirm with our team.
How far ahead should I plan for delivery?
Production starts once you approve your proof, so plan your deadline back from there and allow time for artwork, proofing and delivery. Lead times vary by product, quantity and finish and are not fixed on this page — Confirm with our team for a realistic timescale for your order before you commit to a date.
Are there any compliance or safety points I should raise?
This product sits in our Cosmetic Boxes range. If your packaging has legal or safety requirements — for example food-contact suitability, child-resistant or tamper-evident features, or specific recycling and labelling marks — tell us at enquiry stage so we can confirm what is achievable for this box. We will not claim a certification or standard we cannot evidence, so confirm with our team about your specific requirements.
