    What hair extension boxes have to cope with

    Hair Extension Boxes hold hair wefts or bundles that are long, soft and must not be creased or tangled. That is the starting point for the specification, because long flat packs cost more to ship than folded ones, and for this product that cost is worth paying.

    In service they are used for hair retail and salon supply where the product is inspected closely before use.

    Presentation on the shelf

    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 hair extension boxes will be faced on a shelf, tell us the facing orientation so the strongest panel is the one the customer sees.

    Where hair extension boxes are actually used

    Hair Extension Boxes are specified for hair retail and salon supply where the product is inspected closely before use. Long flat packs cost more to ship than folded ones, and for this product that cost is worth paying.

    • Hair retail and salon supply where the product is inspected closely before use
    • Shelf display in specialty retail
    • Subscription and gift sets
    • E-commerce inner packaging

    The substrate for hair extension boxes

    A rigid or heavy folding carton long enough to hold the hair flat, with a window for inspection.

    The options we would consider for this format are below; long flat packs cost more to ship than folded ones, and for this product that cost is worth paying.

    • 12pt SBS paperboard
    • 14pt SBS paperboard
    • 16pt SBS paperboard
    • 18pt kraft board
    • recycled CCNB board

    Printing hair extension boxes

    Length and texture are the buying criteria. A window showing the actual product does more than any printed claim.

    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.

    Finishing hair extension boxes

    Finishing is applied in the same production run, so stock is not shipped between vendors.

    The finishes below are quoted line by line. Each is an additional pass, so dropping one is a real saving rather than a rounding difference.

    • Gloss lamination
    • Matte lamination
    • Soft-touch lamination
    • Spot UV
    • Foil stamping
    • Embossing
    • Debossing
    • Aqueous coating

    Sizing hair extension boxes

    Long and shallow, sized to the hair length laid flat — commonly 20 to 30 in long.

    Send the contents rather than a box size. The pack is sized to fold the hair for shipping economy, and the fold shows in the product afterwards.

    Artwork for a finished pack

    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.

    Ordering hair extension boxes

    Tell us what goes inside, how many you need and when. Those three answers are enough for us to specify and price the job properly.

    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.

    Proofing before the run

    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.

      Answers

      Hair Extension Boxes: finish and presentation

      Specification, minimums and lead times for hair extension boxes.

      Can hair extensions ship folded?

      They can, but the crease shows in the finished install and customers notice. A long flat pack costs more to ship and avoids the one complaint that matters in this category.

      How do I measure a bottle for its carton for hair extension boxes?

      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 hair extension boxes close cleanly.

      How much panel space do ingredient lists need for hair extension boxes?

      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.

      Do hair extension boxes arrive flat or assembled?

      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.

      What do hair extension boxes cost?

      Ordered online, hair extension boxes start from $0.30 per unit on our standard build, with free shipping to the US, UK, Canada and Australia. For special sizes, materials or large runs we quote, and for this format the biggest levers are quantity, print route, board grade and how many finishing passes are involved. Finishing passes are the lever buyers most often underestimate: each one is a separate run through the line.

      Can I see a sample of hair extension boxes first?

      Yes. We can send a plain unprinted sample so you can check the fit and structure, or a printed prototype for color 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.

      Can you match the hair extension boxes we already use?

      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.

      Where do you deliver hair extension boxes?

      All 50 US states, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, on the same timeline everywhere: 3 to 5 business days of production after artwork approval, then 5 to 7 business days in transit. Every run is made to order and shipped directly to your address rather than pulled from stock, so you receive current production rather than whatever has been sitting in a warehouse. Freight is costed separately by weight, volume and destination. Tell us at quoting if the delivery point cannot take a pallet, and we will break the consignment into cartons instead.

      Can I order hair extension boxes in a custom size?

      Every run is cut to your dimensions — there are no stock sizes here. Send the product measurements rather than a box size and we will build the folding carton around them, then send a dieline template you can design onto.

      What happens after I approve a quote for hair extension boxes?

      We issue a dieline template sized to your product, prepress checks your artwork against it, and a proof comes back for sign-off. Nothing runs until you approve that proof, and folding cartons then take 3 to 5 business days.

      Can you hold our hair extension boxes specification for repeat orders?

      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 color consistent between runs rather than drifting a shade each time.

      Are recycled or recyclable hair extension boxes available?

      Recycled grades are available across most of the substrates we run for folding cartons. Recycled content, curbside recyclability and certified compostability are three different claims though, so tell us which one you intend to print.
