Material
SBS board
White, smooth board. Common for cosmetics and food cartons where vivid print and crisp detail matter.
Industry
Candles & home fragrance
Boxes for jar candles, room sprays and diffusers that protect fragile glass and are ready for gifting.
Candles and home fragrance are mostly glass and are often bought as gifts. The box has to protect the product and look considered enough not to need gift wrap.
We choose board thickness according to the weight and diameter of the jar and design inserts to hold it in place where needed. For diffuser sets we plan divided structures so the bottle and reeds sit neatly together.
Scent notes, product information such as burn time and safety warnings are placed as a natural part of the design.
Suitable box styles
Tuck-end carton
Rigid lid & base box

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.
