Cosmetic packaging that looks premium on shelf and online

Beauty shoppers judge a product by its box. Good cosmetic packaging protects the bottle or jar inside, shows your brand at a glance and leaves room for the ingredient list and label information your product needs. Online, it also has to look good in photos and survive the trip to the customer.

In The Bag has designed custom packaging for more than 30 years. Our Toronto team helps skincare, makeup and beauty brands choose the right carton style, board and finish for each product in their line, then manages production for you. We make custom printed boxes for first launches and full product ranges.

Want a complete look? Add branded tissue paper, labels, ribbon and stickers so your boxes, bottles and shipments all match.

Cosmetic boxes sized to your bottles, jars and tubes

A snug fit keeps glass from moving and makes your product look premium. Send us your product sizes and we will build the box and insert around them.

1. Measure your product

Measure the height and the width or diameter of your bottle, jar or tube, including the pump or cap.

2. Choose an insert

Paperboard inserts hold bottles and jars upright and keep them off the box walls. Gift sets get a separate space for each item.

3. Approve your dieline and proof

We create a dieline, a flat template of your box, for your artwork. You approve a proof before anything goes to print.

    Custom Cosmetic Box and Skincare Packaging FAQs

    What is the best material for cosmetic boxes?

    SBS paperboard is the most common choice for skincare and makeup cartons because it prints sharp, bright colour. Rigid board suits luxury lines and gift sets, and corrugated mailers are best for shipping online orders.

    How do I measure my product for a cosmetic box?

    Measure the height and the width or diameter of your bottle, jar or tube, including the pump or cap. Share those sizes in the quote form and we will add the right clearance for the box and any insert.

    Do you leave room for ingredient lists and label information?

    Yes. Your team supplies the ingredient list and label text, and we help plan the box so there is clear space for it. You approve a proof before printing.

    Can you match boxes across my whole product line?

    Yes. We size cartons for each product and keep colours, finishes and branding consistent from minis to gift sets.

    What is the minimum order for custom cosmetic boxes?

    It depends on the box style and finish. Tell us your quantity in the quote form and we will suggest options that fit, including smaller runs.

    Can you help design my cosmetic box?

    Yes. Our packaging consultants help with box structure, sizing and dielines. You approve a proof before anything is printed.

    Are your cosmetic boxes sustainable?

    We offer FSC®-certified paperboard, kraft and recyclable paper options, and In The Bag is a carbon-neutral packaging company.

    Can I match my boxes with labels, tissue and ribbon?

    Yes. We also supply branded labels, tissue paper, ribbon and stickers, so your whole packaging program can match.
