Overview
Your lotion bottles deserve packaging that sells them. Our custom lotion boxes combine practical details, like pump bottle inserts and window options, with premium printing that makes your brand recognizable at a glance.
Whether you sell from a studio in Brooklyn or ship to boutiques across the country, we make custom lotion boxes from 100 units, with free design help, a digital proof before production, and turnaround in 8 to 12 business days after approval.
Packaging is part of the product experience. For lotion bottles, it protects the formula, communicates what's inside, and creates the first impression that turns browsers into buyers. Well-designed custom lotion boxes look great on shelves and in social media unboxings, reduce damage in shipping, and give you space for ingredients, usage tips and your brand story.

Protection and performance
Beauty products face humidity, handling and shipping. For custom lotion boxes, we typically recommend pump bottle inserts and window options, matched to the weight and shape of your lotion bottles. Glass bottles benefit from inserts, soaps from breathable or open designs, and bathroom products from moisture-resistant coatings. Tell us how and where your product is sold and we'll suggest the right build.
- Pump bottle inserts: holds the product upright and prevents rattling in transit.
- Window options: lets shoppers see the product, which builds trust on the shelf.
- Moisture-resistant coatings: helps packaging hold up in humid bathrooms.
Sustainable options
Want a lower-impact option? We can make custom lotion boxes from recycled or FSC-certified board, print with soy or water-based inks, and replace plastic windows with plant-based films or open die-cuts.
