Custom Printed Bath Bomb Display Boxes for Counters and Sets

It is sent to the retailer, or used by the maker on a stall.

The photos show the two kinds we make. One is a counter display with a printed header card and twelve open cells. The other is a lidded box with a three by four grid, used as a presentation set.

Both are built from board with a divider. The counter unit has no lid, so the front is cut low to show the stock.

The header carries the brand and the product name, and sits above the bombs at eye level.

Cells are formed by a slotted card divider, three across and four deep in the photo. Each cell is sized so the bomb sits still but lifts out with two fingers.

The unit ships flat with the divider separate. The retailer folds the tray, drops in the divider and fills it. Lipsticks and balms use the same build, which is on our cosmetic display boxes page.

The lid lifts off and the full set is seen at once.

This is the box for a large gift set, a wholesale sample box, or a sampler tray for a spa. It can be rigid greyboard with a printed wrap, or a heavier folding board.

A thumb notch on the lid front, as in the photo, makes it open without a struggle. Card, foam or tissue inserts are available on request to replace the crinkle. Makers who sell soap the same way can look at our soap gift boxes for sets.

The bomb diameter sets the cell size and the footprint on the counter.

A counter unit should sit within about 300 mm wide, or it takes too much till space and the retailer moves it to a shelf. Mould sizes and weights are set out in the bath bomb packaging guide.

They are also used on the maker's own stall.

The rest of the maker's range, soap and salts included, sits in our bath and body packaging pages.

• Bath makers supplying gift shops, farm shops and garden centres
• Market and fair traders with a tiered table
• Spa and salon reception counters
• Pharmacies and health shops with an impulse line by the till
• Boutique hotels selling a house scent in the lobby

A thin folding board tray bows under that and the header leans forward.

A heavier folding boxboard or a thin corrugated tray is the option we suggest, with the header in the same board laminated to a printed sheet. Board, rigid and finish options are available on request.

The divider does structural work too. It braces the tray walls, so a divider cut from the same board thickness keeps the unit square.

The header needs the product name in large type and one line on the scent.

The tray front is seen at a glance, so a colour block with the brand is enough. Inside the cells, a pattern in one colour makes empty cells look planned rather than sold out.

Full colour CMYK on a white board is the usual print. A matt lamination option stops the header scuffing when it is wiped. Lamination choices are compared in our print finishes guide for beauty boxes.

Most makers shrink wrap each bomb and put the scent on the wrap.

Keep a few spare dividers. Retailers lose them when they clean the counter, and a display without a divider becomes a bowl of bombs.

Plan the display to be refilled from a plain stock box. The display is the branded piece, the stock carton is not, and that keeps the cost down. Retail-ready singles that sit in the cells can come from our single bath bomb boxes.

Keep it under about 150 mm above the tray unless it stands on a shelf.

The cells are cut for one bomb size and the maker changes mould. A new mould means a new divider, so ask us for spares cut to both sizes.

The tray front is too high and hides the product. Cut the front to half the bomb height so the colour shows. If you are unsure of the front height, send a photo of the counter through our contact us page.
