Square-format cartons for jars and airless pots
Cream Boxes
Wide, low cartons for 30ml–100ml jars where the print area is the top face and the shelf impression is made in the first second. Board stiffness matters more here than in tall formats, because a wide panel dents easily.

Cream Boxes FAQ
Specific answers for this category, plus the questions we are asked on every project.
Folding cartons are lighter and far cheaper to ship and store. Rigid boxes give a heavier unboxing moment for prestige price points but cost several times more per unit and take more warehouse space.
Increase board weight, add an internal platform under the jar lid, and specify a shipper with enough compression strength. We test the combination rather than the carton alone.
It depends on the specification. Stock containers with labelling start low; custom colour, decoration and moulds raise the minimum. For custom paper boxes the standard minimum order quantity is 5,000 pieces per design, and selected paper box projects may start from a few hundred pieces subject to evaluation of the structure, material, printing method and finishing. Send the item and target quantity and we will quote the real minimum for that exact configuration rather than a generic figure.
Yes — standard samples, decoration samples and pre-production samples. Standard samples are usually available quickly; customised samples are quoted with the project because they require set-up.
Yes, through masterbatch resin colour, spray coating on glass or plastic, or printed colour on cartons. Coating gives full Pantone freedom at a lower minimum; masterbatch is more durable but needs a larger volume.
