An ointment box is a carton built to hold a tube or tub of topical ointment, cream, or balm, sized to the product and designed with clear space for usage instructions, ingredients, and any relevant warnings. Because ointments are often reached for during minor ailments, easy-to-find instructions matter to the end user.
Why Usability Matters as Much as Branding
An ointment box is frequently grabbed quickly, sometimes by someone dealing with discomfort or a minor injury. We design the layout so instructions and warnings are genuinely easy to find at a glance, rather than buried beneath decorative branding.
Styles We Make
We build tuck end cartons sized for tubes or tubs, with space for full usage and ingredient information as standard.
Materials
Coated folding carton board is standard, chosen for reliable, sharp print at both branding and instructional text scale.
Order Sizes We Support
Custom ointment boxes are available from around 100 to 250 units, suiting health and skincare brands.
Average Ointment Box Prices
As a general guide, ointment boxes typically cost between £0.20 and £0.70 per unit, depending on size, material, print colours and finish.
Sustainability
Recyclable folding carton board is standard, with FSC-sourced options available on request.
Getting Started
Send us your tube or tub's dimensions and the information it needs to carry, and we will suggest a suitable layout. We build a proof before production and UK-wide delivery.
