FAQ: Cosmetic Box Packaging

What’s the most sustainable cosmetic box packaging?

Recyclable paperboard boxes, FSC-certified materials, and minimal finishes that can be easily separated for recycling. All our packaging follows these principles.

Do I need to sacrifice luxury for sustainability?

Not at all. We specialise in premium packaging that looks and feels high-end, while remaining plastic-free, biodegradable and fully recyclable.

How fast can I get my packaging?

Because we manufacture everything in the UK, our lead times are shorter than most overseas suppliers. We also offer fast-turnaround sampling.

Do you offer packaging for primary cosmetic containers (like bottles)?

We focus on secondary packaging – the boxes that house your product. We can, however, create inserts or platforms to hold your primary containers securely inside.

What Is Sustainable Secondary Packaging?

When people talk about “sustainable packaging”, they often mean bottles, jars, and tubes – also known as primary packaging. What we do is different. We specialise in secondary packaging – the box your product arrives in. This is the first thing your customer sees, and it plays a huge role in brand perception, protection, and sustainability. All our cosmetic boxes are made from FSC-certified, biodegradable or recyclable materials. We use eco-conscious design principles, minimise waste, and manufacture right here in the UK to reduce transport emissions and lead-times. We offer a wide range of sustainable packaging formats for beauty and skincare products, including:

  • Presentation boxes for luxury unboxing

  • Rigid boxes with inserts for added protection

  • Sleeve-and-tray boxes for elegant, slimline gifting

  • Mailer boxes for ecommerce-ready cosmetics

  • Custom cartonboard solutions for lightweight ranges

Why Sustainable Packaging Matters More Than Ever

Over 95% of cosmetic packaging is thrown away after use, and only a small fraction is recycled. That’s why beauty brands are under pressure to rethink how their products are presented. Eco-friendly secondary packaging doesn’t just reduce waste – it sends a powerful message about your values. It builds trust, creates loyalty, and can even improve your bottom line. In fact, 43% of shoppers say they’re willing to pay more for products with sustainable packaging. Eco doesn’t have to mean plain. Our packaging can include:

  • Foiling and vegetable based metallic inks

  • Premium FSC & recycled or recyclable boards

  • Custom cutouts, textures, and clever openings
