Packaging that protects formulas and tells your ingredient story
Fragile glass
Fitted inserts hold dropper bottles and jars so they survive shipping and shelf handling.
Regulatory panels
We plan INCI lists, volume marks and PAO symbols into the dieline from day one.
Clean-beauty look
Uncoated, soft-touch and recycled boards signal the minimal, clinical aesthetic buyers expect.
Line consistency
One dieline family scales across 15 ml serum to 100 ml cream so the shelf reads as one brand.
What skincare packaging do we offer?
- Fitted inserts — keep droppers and jars centered and protected.
- Compliance-ready layout — INCI, volume, PAO and barcode planned in.
- Clean finishes — uncoated, soft-touch, foil accents on recycled board.

What skincare brands say about our packaging
Skincare founders use our fitted-insert cartons to ship fragile glass safely and make small-batch products look clinical-grade on the shelf.
“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.”
Glass arrives intact
The fitted insert grips the bottle shoulder and base, so dropper bottles and jars survive DTC shipping without bubble wrap — and unbox beautifully. Send us your bottle spec for a free insert design.

INCI and PAO built into the dieline
We reserve regulatory real estate before the design phase, so ingredient lists, volume marks and open-jar symbols never get squeezed in as an afterthought. Ask for our skincare layout checklist with your quote.
