In today’s competitive beauty market, packaging is more than a container—it’s a brand ambassador; a reflection of
your brand’s values, quality, and style. Cosmetic brands need boxes that are on-trend, eco-friendly, and strong
enough to protect delicate products. At DIYPack, our corrugated custom cosmetic boxes combine durability,
sustainability, and design flexibility, helping you stand out on retail shelves, deliver memorable unboxings for
e-commerce and subscriptions, and create richer influencer experiences.
Why Cosmetic Brands Should Consider Customized Corrugated Packaging
- Eco-Friendly Advantage: Corrugated boxes are among the most sustainable options available.
They’re made with 99% recycled content, are 100% recyclable, and can be produced with FSC®-certified
materials—meeting the highest environmental standards.
- Superior Protection: Thick, multi-layered construction helps prevent damage to fragile
products like glass jars, droppers, and palettes.
- Customizable Branding: Full-color, edge-to-edge digital printing turns plain boxes into
high-impact brand experiences. Print your logo, brand colors, and custom artwork inside and out for a
premium unboxing. (See our artwork guidelines for minimum requirements.)
3 Best Practices for Designing Cosmetic & Beauty Packaging
1. Let Your Audience Guide the Design
Before starting your design, understand your target audience. Luxury buyers may prefer sleek, minimal designs
with premium finishes, while clean beauty shoppers often connect with natural color palettes, recycled
materials, and sustainability messaging.
2. Align with Your Brand Identity
Your custom cosmetic box should reflect your brand story. If your products are cruelty-free or organic, weave
those values into your design through icons, text callouts, or earthy design elements. Consistency across
packaging and marketing builds trust.
3. Integrate Current Beauty Trends
Today’s consumers value sustainability, transparency, and functionality. Highlight certifications (FSC®,
cruelty-free), emphasize reusability, and choose right-sized packaging to reduce waste.
