Conditioner Boxes

Custom Conditioner Boxes for Bottles, Tubes, Bars, and Hair Care Sets

What conditioner packaging is used for

Conditioner usually sits next to a shampoo, and shoppers often buy the pair. The box has to show the hair type, the scent, and the size, and it has to look like part of a set. Custom conditioner boxes hold full size bottles, travel bottles, squeeze tubes, leave-in sprays, solid conditioner bars, and hair mask jars, as well as shampoo and conditioner sets and hair care kits. Brands use conditioner packaging for retail shelves, salon counters, online orders, and gift sets. A good box carries the product name, the hair type, the directions, and the ingredient list, and it protects the bottle and its cap on the way to the customer.

Sizes and how to measure

Measure the product, not the label. For a bottle or a tube, take the width and depth at the widest point and the full height with the cap or pump on. For a jar, take the diameter and the height with the lid on. 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):

• Conditioner bar: 3.5 x 2.5 x 1.25
• Travel bottle, 3 oz: 2 x 1.25 x 4.5
• Conditioner bottle, 8 oz: 2.5 x 2 x 7.5
• Hair mask jar, 8 oz: 3.5 x 3.5 x 3.5
• Shampoo and conditioner set: 6 x 3.5 x 8

Box styles and closures

A straight tuck end carton is the standard choice for conditioner boxes, because it ships flat and fits a tall bottle snugly. A reverse tuck end keeps the front panel clean for the product name. An auto lock bottom holds the weight of a full bottle or a jar without tape. A sleeve box slides over a tray and suits a pair, a window carton shows the color of the product, and a magnetic closure rigid box suits a gift set. These styles can be made as conditioner 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 holds a bottle firmly. Kraft board gives a natural look that many hair care brands like. 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. Conditioner is usually sold beside a shampoo, so many brands print the two boxes in a matched pair, with a color or an icon that tells them apart. 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 conditioner packaging can also carry a barcode, directions, and a list of ingredients.

Inserts and windows

A paperboard or corrugated insert holds a bottle upright and keeps the cap from rubbing the wall. For a set, the insert has an opening for each item. A die-cut window with clear film shows the product, which helps in retail. If your bottle is plain, a solid front with a foil logo may look better. A clean white insert makes a dark bottle stand out.

Labeling and shipping notes

Conditioner is a liquid, so check the rules of your carrier before you ship it. You supply the ingredient list, the directions, the warnings, and any required text, and we print it where you want it. We do not write or check this text for you.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline sized to your product. 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 side panels, and the back from your logo and brand colors. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
