What topical brands say
CBD topical and skincare brands use our boxes to deliver a clean, premium unboxing that matches their formulas.
“Our folding cartons print beautifully — the SBS surface makes CMYK pop and the foil came out crisp. Dieline was free and the proof was right first time.”
“We moved our whole subscription line to these cartons. Crash-lock assembly saves my packers real time and the kraft option looks great.”
“The window patch cartons let customers see the product without opening. Retail buyers loved it and re-ordered for three seasons.”
Soft-touch and matte coatings that feel premium
CBD topicals compete with skincare, so we use soft-touch laminate, matte varnish and foil accents that match the sensory expectation of creams, serums and balms. The finish also resists fingerprints and shelf dust. Order finish samples to compare textures with your formula bottles.

Boxes sized for pumps, tubes and wide-mouth jars
Topicals come in pumps, squeeze tubes, jars and tins, so we design cartons and rigid boxes around the exact container geometry. Inserts hold the primary package upright and prevent cap damage during shipping. Send us a sample container and we will return a fitted dieline.
Start customizing →Ingredient panels that stay legible
We reserve generous side and back panels for full INCI lists, usage directions, batch codes and QR-linked lab results. Small text stays sharp because we print on smooth SBS or art-coated board. Provide your label copy and we will stress-test readability at print size.
