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.
Our Eco-Friendly Packaging Options
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
We’ll help you choose the right format, material and finish for your product, whether you’re shipping, gifting or selling on-shelf.
Why Sustainable Packaging Matters More Than Ever
Over 95% of cosmetic packaging is thrown away after use, and only a small fraction is actually 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.
Premium Finishes. Without the Footprint.
Eco doesn’t have to mean plain. Our packaging can include:
Foiling and metallic inks
Compostable lamination options
Vegetable based inks
Recycled board grades
Custom cutouts, textures, and clever openings
Take our Popbox – a clever structural design with built-in fitment that speeds up assembly and co-packing. It's sustainable, efficient, and ideal for premium, hand-packed cosmetics. Because premium isn't just how it looks – it's how it works too.

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.

Emily B – Marketing Manager "We used to source all our skincare packaging from the Far East, but we needed a more ethical approach due to changing times. Transitioning to FMB as our UK supplier has been a remarkable difference, not only in fast lead times and consistency but also in the overall level of service. It's been a transformative experience for our company and our customers."
