Day Cream Boxes

Custom Day Cream Boxes for Jars, Pumps, and Tubes

What custom day cream boxes are used for

A day cream sits at the center of a morning routine: light on the skin, worn under makeup or sunscreen, and used every day. The box has to say that in one glance. Custom day cream boxes protect a jar, pump, or tube in transit, give you space for your logo, and tell the buyer what the cream does for daytime skin, such as hydrate, brighten, or protect. Brands use them for lightweight day creams, gel creams, tinted creams, and SPF day creams, and for day and night cream sets. Clear day cream packaging helps shoppers pick the right cream without opening anything.

Sizes and how to measure

Measure the container, not the label. For a jar, take the outer diameter at the widest point and the height with the lid on. For a pump, measure the diameter and the full height with the pump head and cap. For a tube, take the width, the thickness, and the height with the cap. 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 container sets the final size):

• 30 ml jar: 2.25 x 2.25 x 2.25
• 50 ml jar: 2.75 x 2.75 x 2.75
• 50 ml tube: 1.5 x 1 x 5.5
• 50 ml airless pump: 1.75 x 1.75 x 5.25
• Day and night cream set: 5.75 x 2.75 x 3

Box styles and closures

A straight tuck end carton is the usual choice for custom printed day cream boxes, because it is simple, flat-shipped, and fits a jar or tube well. A reverse tuck end opens from opposite sides, and an auto lock bottom holds a heavier jar without tape. A sleeve box slides over a tray and suits a gift pack. For a launch or a set, a magnetic closure rigid box or a lift-off lid rigid box gives a sturdier feel, and a drawer box suits a day cream sold with a sunscreen or a serum.

Materials and thickness

Folding cartons use paperboard of about 300 to 400 GSM, or kraft board for a natural look that suits clean skincare. For custom day cream box packaging that ships straight to customers, E-flute or B-flute corrugated mailers add crush protection. Rigid boxes use greyboard of about 1.5 to 2 mm under a printed wrap. 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 day cream suits a bright, fresh palette: yellow, coral, sky blue, and soft green all say morning, and white space keeps the look clean. Matte lamination keeps light colors calm, gloss adds shine, and soft-touch adds a velvety feel. Spot UV can pick out the product name, and foil in gold, silver, or rose gold adds a small accent. Embossing and debossing add texture to a logo. Day cream boxes with logo foil and a plain back panel keep the directions easy to read.

Inserts and windows

A jar or tube that slides inside its box can scuff or dent. A paperboard or corrugated insert with a die-cut opening holds the container centered. A die-cut window with clear film shows the jar or the cream color, which suits a tinted day cream. If your artwork is full of color and detail, a solid front often looks cleaner than a window.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline sized to your container. 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. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
