What makeup brands say about our packaging
Indie and prestige makeup lines use our Pantone-proofed cartons and magnetic palettes to make shelf color match swatch color.
“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.”
Pantone-proofed before press
Nothing kills a lip line like a box that is the wrong red. We proof every shade against your Pantone spec and send a physical sample for sign-off — request a color proof with your quote.

Rigid weight in the hand
A magnetic rigid palette with a glued mirror weighs and opens like a prestige compact, even at indie volumes from 300 units. Ask us to spec one against your current palette.
