Hair Spray Boxes

Custom Hair Spray Boxes for Aerosol Cans, Pump Sprays, and Sets

What custom hair spray boxes are used for

Hair spray is a styling product that sits next to dry shampoo, texture sprays, and setting mists, so the box has to show the hold, the finish, and the size. Custom hair spray boxes hold aerosol cans, pump spray bottles, travel sizes, and mini sprays, as well as styling sets that pair a spray with a mousse, a gel, or a brush. Brands use hair spray packaging for retail shelves, salon counters, online orders, and gift sets. A good box carries the product name, the hold level, the directions, and the warnings, and it protects the can or bottle and its cap on the way to the customer.

Sizes and how to measure

Measure the can or bottle, not the label. Take the outer diameter at the widest point and the full height with the cap on. Many cans have a wider cap than body, so measure the cap too. 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):

• Travel size spray, 2 oz: 1.5 x 1.5 x 4.5
• Pump spray bottle, 4 oz: 1.75 x 1.75 x 6
• Aerosol can, 8 oz: 2.5 x 2.5 x 8
• Aerosol can, 10 oz: 2.75 x 2.75 x 9
• Styling set, spray and brush: 8 x 3.5 x 9

Box styles and closures

A straight tuck end carton is the standard choice for hair spray boxes, because it ships flat and fits a tall can snugly. A reverse tuck end keeps the front panel clean for the product name. An auto lock bottom holds the weight of a full can without tape. A sleeve box slides over a tray and suits a pair, a window carton shows the can, and a magnetic closure rigid box suits a styling gift set. These styles can be made as hair spray 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 tall can 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 styling set or a gift box. 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. Styling products are often sold as a range by hold level, so many brands use one layout with a color band that changes by product, which keeps cost lower. 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 hair spray boxes can also carry a barcode, directions, and a list of ingredients.

Inserts and windows

A paperboard or corrugated insert holds the can or 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 can, which helps in retail. If your can is plain, a solid front with a foil logo may look better. A clean white insert makes a dark can stand out.

Labeling and shipping notes

Hair spray is often sold in an aerosol can, and aerosols are flammable and under pressure, so carriers and regulators have strict rules for labeling and shipping them. Check these rules before you sell and ship. 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.
