Packaging that sells before the bottle is opened
In fragrance and cosmetics the box is often the only part of the product a shopper can touch before buying. It has to communicate the scent family or skin benefit at a glance, protect a glass bottle or jar through distribution and still look perfect on a shelf under strong light. It also carries legally required information, so the layout must leave room for ingredients, batch codes and symbols without crowding the brand.
We produce custom perfume boxes and cosmetic boxes with your logo in Bulgaria for fragrance houses, skincare and make-up brands, private-label producers and supplement companies across Europe.
Box constructions
Folding cartons
The standard for perfume and cosmetics: a single sheet of folding boxboard, printed, finished, die-cut and glued, delivered flat. Common constructions are reverse tuck end, straight tuck end and crash-lock bottom cartons, which close quickly by hand or on a filling line. Folding cartons suit perfume bottles, cream jars, serum droppers, lipsticks, mascaras and supplement containers.
Rigid presentation boxes
For prestige fragrances, discovery sets and gift editions we make rigid boxes from greyboard wrapped in printed or textured paper, with a lid and base, a magnetic flap or a drawer. They give weight and presence on the counter and are often kept by the customer after use.
Sleeves and sets
A printed sleeve over a plain rigid box, or a box with several cavities for a set of miniatures, a cream with a serum, or a fragrance with a body lotion, lets you build gift editions without designing a completely new box.
Inserts
An insert holds the bottle or jar in place and prevents breakage. We make die-cut cardboard inserts in the same board as the carton, folded cardboard cradles for bottles, and foam or flocked inserts for rigid presentation boxes. A cardboard insert keeps the package in one material, which makes it simpler to recycle.
Finishes for fragrance and beauty
- Hot-foil stamping in gold, silver, rose gold, holographic or coloured foil.
- Embossing and debossing of the logo or a pattern, alone or registered with foil.
- Spot UV varnish for a glossy logo or texture on a matt surface.
- Matt, gloss or soft-touch lamination for colour depth and scuff resistance.
- Windows that reveal the bottle colour or the product inside.
- Metallic and pearlescent boards for a reflective base without full foiling.
Colours are matched to Pantone references, which matters when the box colour is part of a fragrance line or a product range.
Tip: send us the actual bottle or jar, including cap or pump, before the dieline is drawn. Caps, collars and droppers vary, and a few millimetres decide whether the product fits snugly or rattles.

Information on the box
Cosmetic and fragrance boxes typically carry the product name, nominal content, ingredient list, batch number, the responsible person, the period-after-opening symbol or best-before date, and recycling marks. Your regulatory team supplies the text; we make sure it fits the panels and stays legible at small sizes. A QR label or printed QR code can link to extended product information.
Completing the set
A perfume or cosmetic box often travels with other branded items: a paper bag with logo for the counter, stickers and seals for closing boxes, and ribbons with logo for gift editions. For textile brands launching a fragrance, the box can follow the same colours as the clothing labels.
Ordering, MOQ and lead time
Send us the container, the quantity per variant and your logo or artwork. We prepare a dieline and digital proof, and a physical sample can be made before production. Printed boxes are typically produced from 1,000 pcs per design. Production usually takes 10–20 working days after approval, depending on the finish, with delivery anywhere in the EU and no customs formalities. A dedicated contact person supports you at every step. FSC-certified paper is available on request.

Frequently asked questions
Which box type is most common for perfume?
Most perfumes are packed in a folding carton with a cardboard insert that holds the bottle. Rigid presentation boxes are used for prestige editions, gift sets and discovery sets.
Can you combine foil, embossing and spot UV on one box?
Yes. Foil can be registered with embossing, and spot UV can be added on matt or soft-touch lamination, so a single box can carry several finishes.
What is the minimum order for perfume or cosmetic boxes?
Printed boxes are typically produced from 1,000 pcs per design. The exact minimum depends on construction, size and finishes.
Do you design the dieline for our bottle?
Yes. Send us the bottle or jar with its cap or pump, and we draw the dieline and insert to fit it, then send a digital proof and, if needed, a physical sample.
Can the box include ingredients and legal text?
Yes. You supply the regulatory text and we lay it out on the box panels so it stays legible, together with batch code fields, symbols and recycling marks.
