Haircare packaging for bottles, treatments and gift sets.
Shampoo, conditioner and treatments are heavier than most beauty products, so the packaging needs to be strong as well as beautiful. We supply custom printed cartons, gift boxes, mailer boxes, labels and finishing touches for haircare brands and salon product lines.
Why it matters
Strong packaging for heavy products.
Haircare bottles are heavy and often sold in sets, so the packaging has to carry the weight and the brand.
Holds the weight
Snap lock and crash lock bases support heavier bottles better than a tuck end.
Builds shelf presence
Consistent cartons across your range look professional in salons and stores.
Sells more sets
Duos and gift sets lift the average order, especially at Christmas.

What haircare packaging must do.
Haircare packaging must hold heavier bottles and carry a lot of information.
A strong base
Choose snap lock or crash lock cartons for full-size bottles.
A snug fit
Size cartons to the bottle so it can't move inside.
Room for information
Leave space for ingredients, directions and hair type.
Range consistency
One carton style across your range makes a strong shelf display.
Transit protection
Heavier orders need a sturdy mailer and filler between bottles.

Tips from packaging experts.
Practical advice for haircare brands.
Choose the base for the weight
Full-size bottles are heavy. A snap lock or crash lock base is much stronger than a tuck end.
Measure with the pump or cap fitted
Measure your bottle's full height with its pump or cap on, and its widest point.
Start with labels
Many new brands use custom labels on stock packaging, then move to printed cartons as the range settles.
Pack bottles upright
In mailers, pack bottles upright with filler so pumps and caps aren't knocked.
