What to look for

What perfume packaging must do.

Fragrance packaging has to feel luxurious and protect glass at the same time.

✓

A premium feel

Rigid board, foil and matt or gloss lamination all add perceived value.

✓

A snug fit

Bottles should sit firmly in the box so they can't move or chip.

✓

Brand consistency

Matching cartons across your range make the collection recognisable.

✓

Gift presentation

Discovery and gift sets need structure to hold several bottles neatly.

✓

Shipping protection

Online orders need an outer mailer and filler for glass.
