Lipstick carton
Decision point: Tube length, cap overhang and square-versus-round tube shape.
Check the closed tube and avoid a carton that requires force to remove it.
PRINTING MATERIAL · SBS FOLDING CARTONS
SBS Cosmetic Boxes for Lipstick, Makeup & Beauty Brands
Build a coordinated retail-carton range without forcing every lipstick, compact and bottle into the same size or board specification.
Choose the format around the product
A lipstick tube creates a slender carton; a compact needs a wider face; a foundation bottle brings weight and cap-clearance questions. Keep the brand system consistent, but approve the dieline and packed-product fit for each format. SBS is a material choice, not a ready-made universal carton.
Structure and pack-out
Discuss straight or reverse tuck-end cartons for compact products, sleeves around a separate inner pack, or a reviewed locking base where the loaded product warrants it. Tall narrow cartons need an erection and stability check. A display carton is not automatically a courier-ready outer.
Print, GSM and finishes
Gold or silver foil can identify the logo or range; spot UV can highlight selected artwork; embossing adds relief. Keep shade identification, batch panels and small reading text clear. Confirm foil/UV/emboss layers independently on the approved dieline rather than applying every finish to every SKU.
Board GSM remains a reviewed choice, not an automatic load or thickness guarantee. Compare GSM and board properties.
18 specific applications to discuss
Each is a packing brief, not a claim that one standard box fits every product. Use an example to start your own request.
Liquid lipstick carton
Decision point: Long applicator pack and shoulder clearance.
Measure the widest cap or collar, not just the liquid container.
Lip gloss carton
Decision point: Tapered tube or irregular cap profile.
Review a simple holder only when the bottle moves inside the erected carton.
Lip balm carton
Decision point: Small pack with limited information area.
Confirm readable panels before reducing the carton to hit a price target.
Mascara carton
Decision point: Slender tall pack and brush-cap projection.
Check seam alignment and opening direction for the full assembled tube.
Eyeliner carton
Decision point: Pencil, pen or bottle format changes the dieline.
Share the actual format rather than requesting a generic eyeliner box.
Kajal pencil carton
Decision point: Length variation and removable end caps.
Keep both ends protected without trapping the product.
Brow pencil carton
Decision point: Slim geometry and dual-ended tools.
Include both caps in the measurement and removal test.
Foundation bottle carton
Decision point: Filled weight, pump or glass shoulders.
Review base support and the separate transit packing requirement.
Concealer carton
Decision point: Small tube with shade-specific artwork.
Separate quantity per shade from the total order volume.
Compact powder carton
Decision point: Wide thin shape, hinge and mirror housing.
Check face-panel stiffness and opening clearance around the compact.
Eyeshadow palette sleeve
Decision point: Flat wide footprint and existing inner pack.
Confirm whether a sleeve or full carton better retains the palette.
Blush compact carton
Decision point: Rounded compact corners and closure tabs.
Check whether an internal platform prevents the case rotating.
Bronzer duo carton
Decision point: Two pans or compacts in one pack.
State the count per carton separately from the total box quantity.
Makeup brush sleeve
Decision point: Long handles with a wider bristle envelope.
Measure protected bristles and plan clean removal without rubbing.
False-eyelash tray sleeve
Decision point: An existing transparent tray needs outer branding.
Supply the tray dimensions before deciding whether a sleeve will retain it.
Nail-polish bottle carton
Decision point: Glass base and projecting cap.
Check upright retention and packed weight on the filled sample.
Makeup starter set
Decision point: Mixed sizes and several shade variants.
Map every item and version so the quote includes the right inner holder.
Sample acceptance for this family
- Test the actual tube, jar or compact including its cap and any retail seal.
- Check shade names and barcode areas across all artwork versions.
- Approve the crease, tuck opening and scuff behaviour on a converted sample.
Sample approval, quotation acceptance and production authorization are separate. Review the artwork and sampling sequence.

Before you order
Can you recommend GSM without a final box size?
We can compare candidate boards, but the final choice needs actual product geometry, packed weight, closure and a sample. Leave the GSM field undecided rather than accepting a made-up specification.
Does the ₹3–4 starting price cover this whole product family?
No. It is a budget discussion for selected small basic cartons at suitable bulk quantities. The precise product, artwork, variants and finishes must be quoted. Read the pricing guide before comparing offers.
Can I send a requirement without final artwork?
Yes. Start with the product and quantity. The existing Studio prepares a draft, while print files, dieline, sample and commercial details are confirmed before production.
