Overview
Your sunscreen tubes and sticks deserve packaging that sells them. Our custom sunscreen boxes combine practical details, like drug facts panel space and moisture-resistant coating, with premium printing that makes your brand recognizable at a glance.
Orders start at 100 units, so you can launch a new product, test a scent or run a limited edition without committing to a warehouse full of boxes. Every order includes free artwork checks and a digital proof.
Packaging is part of the product experience. For sunscreen tubes and sticks, it protects the formula, communicates what's inside, and creates the first impression that turns browsers into buyers. Well-designed custom sunscreen 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 sunscreen boxes, we typically recommend drug facts panel space and moisture-resistant coating, matched to the weight and shape of your sunscreen tubes and sticks. 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.
- Drug facts panel space: leaves room for required product information.
- Moisture-resistant coating: helps packaging hold up in humid bathrooms.
- Retail barcodes: keeps retail and wholesale ordering simple.
