Made-to-order bath Bomb Boxes in 12pt sbs paperboard, printed to your artwork and cut to your dimensions.
No obligation
Name, email, phone and what you are packing and the finish you have in mind. Attach artwork if you have it. We reply with a specification and a written price, usually within one business day.
Bath Bomb Boxes hold a pressed sphere that is fragile, crumbly and reacts to any moisture. That is the starting point for the specification, because a snug fit and a moisture-resistant inner face are both required. These products fail from movement and from humidity.
In service they are used for bath and body retail, frequently sold as gifts and shipped direct.
Shelf presence is decided at arm's length, not close up. Contrast, the front panel hierarchy and how the pack sits next to competitors matter more than a finish that only reads in the hand.
If bath bomb boxes will be faced on a shelf, tell us the facing orientation so the strongest panel is the one the customer sees.

16pt SBS with a moisture-resistant inner coating, since ambient humidity starts the reaction these products are designed for.
The options we would consider for this format are below; a snug fit and a moisture-resistant inner face are both required. These products fail from movement and from humidity.
A window sells the colour and swirl, which is much of the appeal. Position it over the widest part of the sphere.
Offset lithography, Digital press, Flexography are all available for this format. Run length usually decides which is cheapest: digital removes the plate cost on short quantities, offset and flexo overtake it at volume.

Every finish listed here is its own pass through the line, so each one is priced on its own rather than folded into a single figure.
Sized closely to the sphere, since a bath bomb rolling inside a carton abrades itself.
Send the contents rather than a box size. Clearance is left for easy packing, and that clearance is what lets a fragile pressed sphere abrade itself.
Supply artwork on the dieline we send you, with 3 mm bleed past every trim edge and all text held 4 mm inside the fold lines.
Supply a print-ready PDF or vector file with fonts outlined and images at 300 dpi. Our prepress team checks every file before a proof is issued. The check that catches most files is type sitting too close to a crease, which is easier to move at layout than at proof.
Send the product dimensions, the quantity and your deadline. What comes back is a board grade, a structure, a print method, a lead time and a written price — not a number on its own.
You approve the quote, we send the dieline, prepress proofs it, and production follows. The proof stage is where changes are still free.
Foil, soft-touch and deboss all read differently in person than on a screen, so we recommend a printed prototype rather than a digital proof alone for anything finish-led.
Sample costs are normally credited against the production order.

In practice
Sized closely to the sphere, since a bath bomb rolling inside a carton abrades itself.
The bomb crumbles at the edges from movement, and the carton arrives with loose powder inside it.
Specified for bath and body retail, frequently sold as gifts and shipped direct.
A snug fit and a moisture-resistant inner face are both required. These products fail from movement and from humidity.
This format sits in our custom cosmetic packaging range, alongside 24 other made-to-order formats.
Answers
Specification, minimums and lead times for bath bomb boxes.
Movement inside the carton. A pressed sphere with room to roll abrades itself into powder. A snug fit fixes it — and a moisture-resistant inner face stops ambient humidity starting the reaction early.
At the widest point, which is frequently not the base, and including the cap or pump. Send us the actual container if you can — a measurement from a drawing misses flex and applied label thickness, and both decide whether bath bomb boxes close cleanly.
More than most brands allow for. Ingredient copy and any warnings compete directly with the design, and adding them late usually forces a reflow. We block the area on the dieline before you commit design time.
Flat and glued along one seam, so they pop open on your packing line. That keeps freight cost down considerably compared with a pre-assembled structure.
Yes. Once a first run is approved we hold the board, structure, dimensions, print method and finishes against your account, so a reorder references the same specification exactly rather than being re-derived. That includes the ink formulation, which is what keeps a brand colour consistent between runs rather than drifting a shade each time.
Recycled grades are available across most of the substrates we run for folding cartons. Recycled content, kerbside recyclability and certified compostability are three different claims though, so tell us which one you intend to print.
A print-ready PDF or a vector file, with fonts outlined and any raster images at 300 dpi at final size. We supply the dieline to design onto, and prepress checks bleed, safe area and crease clearance before issuing a proof. The dieline we supply carries the crease positions, so keeping type clear of a crease is easier to solve at layout than at proof.
A flat 100 units on any format. Most folding cartons in this range are quoted from 100 units upward because unit cost falls sharply above that, but the minimum exists so you can validate a structure first.
3 to 5 business days after artwork approval, plus freight. Folding carton runs with applied finishes can take longer because each finish is a separate pass, and we confirm a firm date in writing with the quote.
Prices start from $0.30 per piece for large-volume orders. For this format the biggest levers are quantity, print route, board grade and how many finishing passes are involved. We quote each element separately so you can see where the money is going. Finishing passes are the lever buyers most often underestimate: each one is a separate run through the line.
Yes. We can send a plain unprinted sample so you can check the fit and structure, or a printed prototype for colour and finish. Sample costs are normally credited against the production order. Ask for the printed prototype rather than the plain sample if the question is finish — soft-touch, foil and deboss all read differently in the hand than on a screen.
Send the current specification or a physical sample and we will quote to match it rather than proposing an alternative you would then have to re-approve internally. A physical sample tells us more than a specification sheet — board caliper and coating are usually described loosely and measured exactly.
