Quick answer

What buyers should know first.

UPG manufactures the custom printed outer box around lipstick, lip balm, lip oil, and related slim beauty products. Individual products can use a tuck carton, while premium collections can be reviewed in a magnetic presentation box. Structure, print, finish, and inserts are confirmed from the product dimensions, quantity, artwork, intended use, and delivery country.

Buying decisions

Plan lipstick boxes around the real product.

These decisions help define the first useful packaging brief without treating a custom structure like a stock box.

Decision 01

Start with the finished product

Share the finished lipstick, lip balm, lip oil, or related product dimensions. The outer carton and any insert are planned around the real product rather than a generic beauty-box size.

Decision 02

Choose an individual carton or a presentation set

A tuck box is the starting format for an individual retail unit. A magnetic presentation box can be reviewed for a collection or multi-product set after the arrangement is confirmed.

Decision 03

Match the board to the print plan

SBS C1S supports one-side printing and SBS C2S supports printing on both sides. Brown, white, or black kraft, CCNB, chipboard, and corrugated board are also available for approved tuck structures.

Decision 04

Lock the structure before final artwork

Logo placement, copy, foil, spot UV, embossing, and debossing should be prepared on the approved dieline for the selected structure.
