Custom Folding Cartons for Soap & Bath

Soap and bath products need packaging that handles oils and moisture without going soft or blotchy. Coated and kraft stocks that hold up around oils, in small formats like pillow boxes and window cartons that suit a bar or a bath bomb.

100 boxes, which is a realistic first run for a growing soap & bath brand. You get a proper printed box without committing to thousands of them.

Folding Cartons start at 45 cents a box at volume. A first run of 100 to 250 lands higher per box, because the setup costs the same whatever the quantity. Use the estimator on this page for a range, then ask for a real number.

Yes. We print in full color to match your brand, and offer finishes like matte, gloss, soft touch and foil. The design help is free. Colour on press is close to a screen rather than identical, so send a Pantone reference if you have one and we will hold to it as tightly as the process allows.

A vector logo, so an AI, EPS or PDF file. If you only have a PNG, send it and we will tell you honestly whether it prints cleanly at that size. Redrawing a simple logo is part of the free design work, not an extra charge.

Production on folding cartons runs 10 to 14 days once you approve the digital proof, then a few days in transit anywhere in the lower 48. If you have a launch date, tell us the date and we will say honestly whether it is possible.

Usually, and plan for up to 10 percent either way. Over and under runs are standard across printed packaging, because sheets get used up getting the press dialled in. Tell us the number you cannot go below and we will run to that instead.

That is the sensible way to do it. Order 100 to prove the size and the artwork, then order properly once you know the box is right. We keep your artwork and your dieline on file, so a reorder is one message and the same box turns up again at the same specification.

Ordering before measuring. A box a few millimetres too big lets the product rattle around, and a box a few millimetres too small is scrap. Print our free dieline at full size, fold it around the actual product, then order. It costs an afternoon and it can save the whole run.

Flat in almost every case, which is good news for your freight bill, because flat board packs tight and you are not paying to ship air. Rigid boxes are the exception: they cannot be knocked down, which is part of why they cost more to send.

Yes, and you should. The sample pack is free, postage included, and board thickness and finish are the two things a screen genuinely cannot show you. For a soap & bath product the thing worth checking is how the board behaves at the size you actually need.
