Material
SBS board
White, smooth board. Common for cosmetics and food cartons where vivid print and crisp detail matter.
Industry
Cosmetics & personal care
On the shelf, the first contact is the box. We design packaging for creams, serums, fragrances and care sets that protects the product, carries the brand and turns opening into a moment.
In cosmetics, packaging is the first proof of quality. The box must fit the bottle or jar exactly; a product rattling inside feels cheap however good the formula is. That is why we start by measuring the product and, where needed, designing an insert.
Soft-touch lamination, hot foil and embossing strengthen a premium feel, but every finish adds cost and lead time. We choose together which finishes truly add value to your brand.
For product ranges in several sizes, a single family of dielines keeps the shelf consistent and reduces tooling costs.

Materials & finishes
Materials and finishes to consider
We help you choose the board and finishes that suit your product, budget and brand — and say plainly when a finish is not worth its cost.
Material
Duplex board
Board with a white front and grey back. A more economical option; the inside of the box looks grey.
Material
Kraft board
A natural brown look. Printed colours appear darker and warmer on kraft.
Material
Micro-flute (E / F)
A thin fluted board, light but strong. Ideal for mailer boxes and can be printed inside.
Material
Corrugated board (B / C)
Thicker fluted board for shipping cartons, with higher stacking and transport strength.
Material
Wrapped rigid board
Rigid boxes made by wrapping thick board in coated or textured paper. Prestigious and long-lasting.
Finish
Matt / gloss lamination
A thin film over the print protects the surface. Matt looks calmer, gloss more vivid.
Finish
Soft-touch lamination
Gives a velvety, silky feel. A favourite for premium cosmetics and gift boxes.
