Packaging Range By Fantastic Mr Box Sustainable Packaging Design Production Experts UK Skincare Packaging

PLASTIC FREE PACKAGING

Plastic Free Packaging That Protects Products

Most “eco” swaps fall over at the last hurdle, protection. We replace foam and plastic trays with engineered card fitments that hold products firmly, pass sensible drop tests, and look premium on unboxing. Designed, prototyped and made in the UK using FSC materials and water based inks, no plastic films, no foam, no vac forms.

Replace Foam With Engineered Card Fitments

Foam looks neat, but it sheds microplastics and is hard to recycle. We design die cut card fitments that lock each product by shape, height and weight, so they survive shipping and still present beautifully. Single wall, micro flute or solid board, always sized off real products for a snug, rattle free hold.

  • Zero foam, zero plastic

  • Sampled and tested for precision

  • FSC sustainable board materials

  • Built to fit your SKUs exactly

  • Eco-friendly packaging

Protection Without Plastic or Foam

Most soft touch effects use a plastic laminate. We avoid films, using water based inks and tactile varnishes for a premium feel that still recycles easily. Surfaces are specced for scuff resistance, so sets arrive in store and to creators looking sharp, without hidden plastic layers.

  • No laminations

  • Water based inks

  • Tactile varnish options

  • Recyclable finish, premium feel

Why Sustainability Is Essential in Skincare Packaging

Skincare customers are more conscious than ever about what they put on their skin – and the same mindset extends to packaging. Recyclability, plastic-free materials and ethical sourcing are now essential parts of the buying decision.

In this context, well-executed sustainable packaging isn’t just a compliance box to tick – it’s a brand asset. Packaging can elevate perceived product value, reinforce your environmental stance, and increase the chances of word-of-mouth or social sharing. With growing pressure on brands to demonstrate environmental responsibility, sustainable packaging is both an ethical and commercial advantage.

FAQ: Sustainable Packaging for Skincare Brands

What makes your skincare packaging sustainable?
We use FSC-certified boards, plastic-free windows, and compostable coatings. Our inks are water-based, and everything is designed for recyclability – without sacrificing finish or quality.

Can I still add foil or soft-touch coatings?
Yes. Many of our most premium finishes are available in eco-friendly forms. We’ll guide you to finishes that match your brand without undermining sustainability claims.

How do I get a sample?
We start with CAD design and a plain prototype. If you need a printed sample, we can provide that too for an additional cost.

What’s the lead time?
Typically 3–4 weeks from design sign-off, as all production is handled here in the UK.

Absolutely. We’re used to working with growing skincare businesses and can scale your packaging as your range expands.

Thomas L – Sales Director "As a packaging manufacturer dealing with high-demand clients, efficiency is paramount. We consulted with Fantastic Mr Box about incorporating one of their designs to drastically reduce assembly and co-packing for some of our packaging. The product has been a top seller for us, and Steve and Adam are always a pleasure to work with."
