Lipstick Boxes

Lipstick Boxes That Stay Closed and Look High-End

The first thing a customer does with a new lipstick is try to open the box. If the cardboard feels like a cheap toy or the tuck-flap is loose, it ruins the “prestige” feel immediately. At BoxBaba, we build custom lipstick boxes that have a tight, snappy fit. We do all our manufacturing in the USA, so you get your packaging quickly without the bent corners and weird smells that usually come with bulk shipments from overseas.

Cardboard That Won’t Bend in a Makeup Bag

Lipstick boxes are tiny, which means they are easy to crush. We use high-density, reinforced paperboard that keeps its shape even when it’s tossed into the bottom of a heavy purse. We can also create custom internal “sleeves” if you have a particularly heavy metal lipstick tube that needs extra support. This prevents the tube from rattling around and keeps the box from leaning or bulging on a retail shelf.

Finishes That Resist Greasy Fingerprints

Lipstick is an oily product. If a customer is trying on shades and touches your box, a standard glossy finish will show every single smudge. We offer soft-touch matte coatings and oil-resistant finishes that stay looking clean. If you want a luxury look, we can do metallic foil stamping, embossing, or spot UV to make your logo stand out. Our inks are cured so they won’t flake off, even if they get a little cosmetic oil on them.

Precision Color Matching for Every Shade

If you have twenty different shades of red, the box needs to help the customer find the right one fast. We offer precision color matching so the swatches on your packaging actually look like the lipstick inside. We can also die-cut “peek-a-boo” windows so the customer can see the actual tube or the shade sticker on the bottom. This reduces the number of boxes that get opened and ruined by customers in the store.

Fast USA Shipping for New Collection Launches

When a new color goes viral, you need to get it on the shelf while the hype is still there. You can’t wait three months for a shipping container. Since BoxBaba is based in the USA, our lead times are much faster than international suppliers. We work with boutique brands on low minimum orders for limited-edition drops, but we also have the capacity for massive wholesale runs when you’re ready to scale.
