What haircare brands say about our packaging
Bond-repair startups and salon brands use our carton systems to sell the full routine, not just one bottle.
“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.”
Built for the bathroom
Aqueous-coated board shrugs off steam and wet hands, so the box still looks new when the bottle is half empty — and gets rebought. Ask for a coated sample to test in your own shower.
