Mascara boxes are slim, upright cartons made for the tall, narrow tubes mascara comes in. The proportions are unusual for a carton, so the interior is sized closely to the tube to keep it standing straight and to stop it sliding around in a box that is too generous.
Holding a slender tube
A narrow tube tips easily in a loose carton, so a close fit is the priority. Measure the tube including its cap, since the brush handle adds height, and size the interior so it stands without rattling. A snug fit also keeps the printed carton looking crisp rather than bowed.
Print on a narrow face
The slim panels limit the printable area.
- Measure the tube including the cap
- Size the interior for a close, upright fit
- Keep key branding within the narrow panels
Ordering and print
The slim faces limit how much artwork fits, so plan branding around the narrow panels from the start. If you offer more than one mascara in the same tube, a shared carton with a changing label keeps stock simple. Share the tube dimensions including the cap and how you pack 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 it stands straight and the print fits the slim faces.
