Hair Dye Kit Boxes

Custom Hair Dye Kit Boxes for Color Tubes, Developer, and Tools

What custom hair dye kit boxes are used for

A hair dye kit is a small set of parts that must all fit in one box: a color cream, a developer, gloves, an applicator, and a leaflet. Shoppers choose by shade, so the box has to show the color clearly and list what is inside. Custom hair dye kit boxes hold boxed kits for permanent color, semi-permanent color, root touch-up, bleach, toner, and highlights. Brands use hair dye kit packaging for retail shelves, beauty supply stores, online orders, and salon take-home sets. A good box carries the shade name, a color swatch, the list of contents, the directions, and the required warnings, and it holds each item so nothing rattles in transit.

Sizes and how to measure

Start with the items, not the box. List every part of the kit and measure each one: tubes, bottles, a bowl or brush, folded gloves, and the leaflet. Choose a layout, flat in one layer or stacked in two. We size the box around that layout. Allow 1/8 to 1/4 inch per side for clearance. Send us the list and we build the dieline around it.

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

• Root touch-up kit: 5 x 2.5 x 6
• Semi-permanent color kit: 6 x 2.5 x 6.5
• Permanent color kit with developer: 7 x 3 x 7
• Bleach and toner kit: 8 x 3.5 x 7.5

Box styles and closures

A tuck end carton is the standard choice for a hair dye kit box, because it ships flat and fits a tall kit. An auto lock bottom holds the weight of a bottle and a tube without tape. A window carton shows a color swatch or the color of the cream. A sleeve box slides over a tray and suits a gift kit, and a magnetic closure rigid box suits a salon gift set. A hang tab version fits a retail peg for a small kit. These styles can be made as hair dye kit 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. Rigid boxes use greyboard of about 1.5 to 2 mm under a printed wrap and suit a gift kit. 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. Hair color is sold by shade, so many brands use one layout with a shade panel or a color swatch that changes by product, which keeps cost lower across a range of dozens of shades. 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. Hair dye kit boxes with logo and a shade chart on the back help shoppers compare. Custom printed boxes can also carry a barcode and the full directions.

Inserts and windows

A paperboard or corrugated insert holds each item in its own opening, so the developer bottle does not press on the color tube. A die-cut window with clear film shows a swatch or the product, which helps in retail. If your kit is plain, a solid front with a foil logo may look better. A leaflet pocket or a slot keeps the instructions flat and easy to find. A clean white insert makes dark bottles stand out.

Labeling notes

Hair dye kits carry required warnings, patch test directions, ingredient lists, and instructions, and you are responsible for that text. You supply the wording and any required labeling, 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 kit. 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.
