A shampoo box is an outer carton built to hold and present a shampoo bottle, whether that bottle is sold on its own or as part of a haircare range. Unlike a label alone, a full box gives 360 degrees of printable space, letting a brand tell a fuller story about ingredients, scent, or hair type on the packaging itself.
Why Brands Choose a Box Over a Label Alone
A well-designed label can carry a brand a long way, but a box adds structure, protects the bottle from scuffing in transit, and gives extra surface area for ingredient lists, usage instructions, or a wider brand story than a label alone can fit.
Styles We Make
Shampoo boxes are usually built as folding cartons with a tuck end or auto-lock bottom closure for a sturdier base, particularly for taller or heavier bottles. A window can be added if you want the shampoo's colour visible.
Materials and Finishes
Coated folding carton board is standard, and kraft board is a popular alternative for natural or sulphate-free shampoo ranges wanting a more organic look. Matte or soft-touch lamination gives a smooth, premium finish that suits bathroom shelf packaging well.
Order Sizes We Support
Custom shampoo boxes are available from around 50 to 100 units, suiting an indie haircare brand's first bottle range.
Average Shampoo Box Prices
As a general guide, custom shampoo boxes typically cost between £0.30 and £1.00 per unit, depending on size, material, print colours and finish.
Sustainability
Folding carton and kraft board are both widely recyclable, and a correctly sized box reduces the padding needed to keep the bottle steady in transit.
