Custom Printed Eyelash Boxes for Strip Lashes and Lash Studios

The box exists to keep that tray flat and the lash band from bending.

The box is shallow, usually 20 to 25 mm, because the tray only needs a few millimetres of air above the lash. Any deeper and the tray slides about.

Studios that sell lashes at the chair want the lash visible, so a round or oval window above the tray is the usual choice. The pink box in our photos does exactly that, with foil around the window.

A tech who applies lashes all day sells strip pairs for nights out, and a branded box makes that a product rather than an afterthought.

Lash brands selling online need a box that posts flat and unboxes well on camera. Beauty salons, brow bars and bridal makeup artists order smaller runs for their retail shelf.

Lashes sit with lipsticks and polish in our makeup, lash and nail range, so a studio can match its lash box to a gloss carton.

• Lash studios selling strip pairs at reception
• Lash technicians with a retail line under their own name
• Online lash brands posting single pairs and multipacks
• Bridal and occasion makeup artists with a client kit
• Beauty salons adding lashes beside brow products

The carton that fits one is roughly 105 x 55 mm and 22 mm deep. That leaves 5 mm each side for the insert and a little above the lash.

Dramatic 25 mm lashes come on a longer tray, so the box grows to about 115 x 60 mm. Measure the tray, not the lash, because the tray is what has to sit flat.

The table lists sizes we are asked for most. Other small cartons are on our cosmetic box sizes for UK brands page.

It is a folding tuck end with a round or oval cut-out, cheap enough to sell a single pair and quick to pack.

A drawer box, like the white ones stacked in our photos, slides open to show the tray. It costs more, but it stacks neatly on a counter and feels like a keeper.

A rigid magnetic lid box is for premium pairs and multipacks. The lid snaps shut over the tray and the box stays on the dressing table. Our cosmetic box styles guide covers the three builds.

A card insert with a cut-out the size of the tray does that. It also lifts the tray so the lash sits level with the window.

Without an insert the tray slides and the lash band can catch on the box edge, which bends it. A bent band is a returned lash.

If you supply your own trays, send one with your enquiry. We cut the insert to that tray rather than to a guessed size.

It is stiff enough for a box this small and folds a clean edge around the window.

Drawer boxes and magnetic boxes use rigid greyboard with a printed wrap. That is why the white drawer boxes in our photos have such square corners.

Soft touch lamination with rose gold foil on the name is the finish most lash brands ask for. Pink, white and black boards are the usual bases, and other boards, rigid builds and finishes are available on request.

The top panel carries the brand, the style name and the window, and that is all it needs.

Style names matter more than people think. A customer who liked a pair last month asks for it by name. Print the name large on the top and again on the end panel for stacking.

The back panel can carry fitting instructions and the glue advice. For a line-up of styles, our counter display units for small boxes hold 12 lash boxes on their edge.

A 22 mm deep window carton fits most letterbox-size mailers, which keeps postage low for a single pair sold online.

Twin packs and magnetic boxes are deeper, so they go in a small mailer box instead. Keep the lash box from sliding inside the mailer with a tissue wrap or a card divider.

For multipacks posted together, our cosmetic mailer boxes for lash orders are cut to hold three or five lash boxes flat.

Lashes vary by style but the tray is fixed, and the tray is what has to fit.

The second is a window that is too large. A big window weakens the top panel of a small carton and shows the tray edges, so keep the window inside the tray outline.

The third is leaving the end panels blank. Lash boxes are stacked and stored on their edge, and a blank end means nobody can find the style they want.

Boxes are quoted per order, from £0.25 per unit, and the written quote confirms the figure for your size and finish.
