Made-to-order false Eyelash 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.
False Eyelash Boxes hold a delicate lash strip on a curved tray, where the shape must be preserved exactly. That is the starting point for the specification, because height clearance above the curved tray is the whole specification. Flattened lashes are unsellable.
In service they are used for beauty retail where the product is examined through a window before purchase.
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 false eyelash boxes will be faced on a shelf, tell us the facing orientation so the strongest panel is the one the customer sees.
A window is effectively mandatory in this category — customers buy on lash style, which cannot be described.
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.
A window is effectively mandatory in this category — customers buy on lash style, which cannot be described.
Finishes are costed one at a time because each is a separate operation — that way you can see which one is carrying the price.
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.
16pt SBS with a clear window and enough internal height to clear the tray curve completely.
The options we would consider for this format are below; height clearance above the curved tray is the whole specification. Flattened lashes are unsellable.
Flat and shallow, sized to the tray rather than to the lashes themselves.
Send the contents rather than a box size. The carton is sized to the tray footprint without allowing height for the curve the lashes sit on.
Four things drive a quote more than anything else: the quantity, the print route, the board grade and the number of finishing passes. Dimensions matter too, but usually through how efficiently the shape nests on the press sheet.
Prices start from $0.30 per piece for large-volume orders. If a cheaper route exists we say so at quoting rather than after the invoice.
Start with dimensions and quantity. If you already run something similar, a physical sample tells us more in a minute than a specification does in a page.
A dieline template follows, sized to your product. Prepress checks your artwork against it and issues a proof; nothing runs until you sign that off.
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.

What you get
Flat and shallow, sized to the tray rather than to the lashes themselves.
The lash strip is crushed flat because the carton has no clearance above the curved tray.
Specified for beauty retail where the product is examined through a window before purchase.
Height clearance above the curved tray is the whole specification. Flattened lashes are unsellable.
This format sits in our custom cosmetic packaging range, alongside 24 other made-to-order formats.
Answers
Specification, minimums and lead times for false eyelash boxes.
Clearance above the curved tray. A carton sized to the tray footprint with no height allowance flattens the lash strip, and a flattened lash is unsellable. Send the tray including its curve height.
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 false eyelash 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.
