Brow Pencil Boxes

Custom Brow Pencil Boxes for Pencils, Twist-Ups, and Brow Sets

What custom brow pencil boxes are used for

Brow products are bought by shade, and a brow pencil is one of the thinnest items in a makeup line. It is easy to bend, easy to miss on a shelf, and sold in a long list of tones from blonde to black. Custom brow pencil boxes give each shade a clear front and protect the tip. They hold wooden pencils, twist-up pencils, micro-fill pens, brow pencils with a spoolie, and brow sets that add a gel or a powder. Brands use them for single pencils, shade ranges, duos, and gift sets. A good brow pencil box carries the shade name, the tip type, and the directions, and it helps shoppers match a tone from a peg or a shelf.

Sizes and how to measure

Measure the pencil, not the label. Take the full length with the cap on and the diameter at the widest point. If the pencil has a spoolie brush on the end, include it. For a set, measure each product and choose a layout. Allow 1/8 to 1/4 inch per side for clearance. Send us the numbers and we build the dieline around them.

Example sizes (examples only, length x width x height in inches; your product sets the final size):

• Wooden brow pencil: 7 x 0.6 x 0.6
• Twist-up brow pencil with spoolie: 6.5 x 0.75 x 0.75
• Micro-fill brow pen: 6.5 x 0.8 x 0.8
• Brow pencil and gel duo: 6.5 x 1.75 x 1

Box styles and closures

A tuck end carton is the standard choice for a brow pencil box, because it ships flat and fits a slim pencil snugly. A hang tab version lets a pencil sit on a retail peg, which suits a low-price item. A sleeve box slides over a tray and suits a duo. A window carton shows the color of the pencil, and a magnetic closure rigid box suits a gift set. These styles can be made as custom brow pencil box packaging for retail or for mailing.

Materials and thickness

Folding cartons use paperboard of about 300 to 400 GSM, which prints crisp color and keeps a long, thin box from bending. Kraft board gives a natural look. Rigid boxes use greyboard of about 1.5 to 2 mm under a printed wrap and suit a gift set. For mail, E-flute or B-flute corrugated mailers add crush protection. Exact thickness is confirmed for each order. Every box uses eco-friendly materials sourced from certified suppliers, and recycled paperboard and kraft board are available.

Printing, coatings, and finishes

Print full color CMYK or match your brand with Pantone spot colors, on the outside only or the outside and inside. A brow pencil box is long and narrow, so a vertical logo and a clear shade name work best. Many brands use one box design with a color band that changes by shade, which keeps cost lower across a range. Matte lamination looks calm, gloss adds shine, and soft-touch adds a velvety feel. Spot UV can pick out the logo, and foil in gold, silver, or rose gold adds an accent. Embossing and debossing add texture to a name. Custom printed brow pencil boxes can also carry a barcode, directions, and a short note on the tip type.

Inserts and windows

A paperboard or corrugated insert holds a pencil in place so it does not rattle or bend. For a duo, the insert has an opening for each product. A die-cut window with clear film shows the product, which helps shoppers see the shade. If your pencil is plain, a solid front with a foil logo may look better. A clean white insert makes a dark pencil stand out.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline sized to your pencil. Supply artwork as a vector AI or PDF file with fonts outlined and images at 300 DPI in CMYK. If you have no artwork yet, free design support and a free consultation are included, and our team can help lay out the front, the shade panel, and the back from your logo and brand colors. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
