Custom fragrance and beauty packaging made to fit your bottle, jar or dropper precisely. As a cosmetic box manufacturer in Bulgaria, we produce folding cartons with fitted inserts and rigid presentation boxes for perfume, skincare, make-up and supplements, finished with foil, embossing, spot UV and windows.
Why the carton carries so much weight in beauty
On a fragrance counter or a pharmacy shelf the shopper usually cannot open the product. The carton has to tell them, in a second or two, whether the scent is fresh or warm, whether the serum is clinical or botanical. It must also survive distribution with a glass bottle inside, stay pristine under bright shop lighting, and leave space for the information regulations require – all without crowding the brand.
We manufacture perfume boxes and cosmetic packaging for fragrance houses, skincare and make-up brands, private-label producers and supplement companies across Europe. For fashion brands launching their first fragrance, we can also align the box with the colours of their clothing labels, since both come from our production.
Constructions we produce
Folding cartons
The everyday format for beauty. A single sheet of folding boxboard is printed, finished, die-cut, glued and delivered flat. Typical closures are reverse tuck end, straight tuck end and crash-lock bottom, which can be erected quickly by hand or on a filling line. Cartons suit perfume bottles, cream jars, serum droppers, lipsticks, mascaras and supplement tubs.
Rigid presentation boxes
For prestige editions, discovery sets and seasonal gifts we build rigid boxes from greyboard wrapped in printed or textured paper: lid and base, magnetic flap or drawer. They give weight on the counter and are often kept for years.
Sleeves and multi-product sets
A printed sleeve over a plain rigid box, or a box with several cavities for miniatures or a cream-and-serum duo, lets you create gift editions without developing a completely new box every season.
Typical sizes by container
Each box is drawn to your container, including cap, collar or pump. The inside dimensions below (length × width × height) are common starting points.
| Container | Starting size (mm) | Usual construction |
|---|---|---|
| Perfume, 30 ml | 45 × 45 × 110 | Folding carton with insert |
| Perfume, 50 ml | 55 × 55 × 130 | Folding carton with insert |
| Perfume, 100 ml | 65 × 65 × 150 | Folding carton or rigid box |
| Serum or dropper bottle | 40 × 40 × 120 | Folding carton |
| Cream jar, 50 ml | 75 × 75 × 55 | Folding carton |
| Lipstick or mascara | 25 × 25 × 100 | Folding carton |
| Supplement tub | 70 × 70 × 120 | Folding carton |
| Discovery or gift set | To your products | Rigid box with cavity insert |
Inserts that protect glass
- Die-cut board inserts in the same board as the carton – the simplest option to recycle.
- Folded board cradles that hold a bottle at the neck and base.
- Foam or flocked inserts for rigid presentation boxes and sets.
Please send the actual container with its closure before we draw the dieline. Caps, collars and droppers vary more than drawings suggest, and a few millimetres decide whether a bottle sits snugly or moves.
Finishes for fragrance and beauty
| Finish | What it adds |
|---|---|
| Hot-foil stamping | Gold, silver, rose gold, holographic or coloured accents |
| Embossing / debossing | Tactile logo or pattern, alone or registered with foil |
| Spot UV | A glossy logo or texture on a matt surface |
| Lamination | Matt, gloss or soft-touch for depth and scuff resistance |
| Windows | Show the bottle colour or the product itself |
| Metallic or pearlescent board | A reflective base without foiling the whole surface |
Finishes can be combined on one carton – for example foil registered with embossing on the logo and spot UV on soft-touch lamination. Colours are matched to Pantone references, which is essential when a box colour identifies a fragrance within a line.
Mandatory information on the panels
Cosmetic and fragrance cartons usually show the product name, nominal content, ingredient list, batch number, the responsible person, a period-after-opening symbol or best-before date, and recycling marks. Your regulatory team provides the text; we lay it out across the panels so it stays legible at small point sizes and leaves the front panel for the brand. If you want to offer extended information, a QR code or QR label can link to it.
Our process
- You send the container, quantity per variant and your logo or artwork.
- We draw the dieline and insert and send a digital proof.
- A physical sample can be made before production.
- Production typically takes 10–20 working days after approval, depending on finishes.
- We deliver anywhere in the EU, flat-packed for cartons.
What to prepare
- One sample bottle or jar with its cap, pump or dropper.
- Artwork or logo in vector format, with Pantone references.
- Legal text per variant and per language.
- Quantity per variant (scent, shade or size).
- Finishes you are considering, or reference photos.
Sustainability
FSC-certified paper is available on request. A board insert instead of foam keeps the package in one material, and windows can be left open rather than filmed where the product allows. Selective foil on the logo, rather than full-surface foiling, gives a premium look with less material.
Printed boxes are typically produced from 1,000 pieces per design; the exact minimum depends on construction, size and finishes. Complete the set with paper bags for the counter, seals and stickers for closing boxes and logo ribbon for gift editions.

Should our perfume go in a folding carton or a rigid box?
Most perfumes ship in a folding carton with a board insert. Rigid boxes are usually chosen for prestige editions, gift sets and discovery sets.
Can several finishes appear on one box?
Yes. Foil can be registered with embossing, and spot UV can be applied on matt or soft-touch lamination on the same carton.
Will the insert fit our specific bottle?
Send us the bottle with its closure and we draw the insert and dieline around it, then confirm fit with a digital proof and, if needed, a physical sample.
Do you lay out the ingredient list and legal text?
Yes. You supply the regulatory content and we place it on the panels with batch code fields, symbols and recycling marks so it stays legible.
What quantity is needed per design?
Printed boxes are typically produced from 1,000 pieces per design; we confirm the exact minimum with your quote.
