Lotion Carton Formats: Bottle, Pump & Tube
Custom lotion boxes are sized to the assembled sell unit — bottle plus pump, flip cap, or overcap — not the bare container. Undersized cartons stress pumps; oversized cartons read cheap on shelf.
| Product form | Typical carton | Sizing note |
|---|---|---|
| Pump bottle | Tall tuck-end or sleeve | Measure pump height extended; add 2–3 mm clearance |
| Squeeze tube | Slim tuck or tray | Width to crimp seal; length to cap |
| Jar + lid | Lift-off lid carton | Diameter + thread height for secure fit |
| Gift / duo set | Multi-cavity insert | One dieline per kit configuration |
Share CAD or a photo with ruler when quoting so dielines match your exact lotion SKU. Pair outer cartons with die-cut inserts when bottles must not rattle in transit.
Board Grade & Finish for Lotion SKUs
Most lotion cartons use 16pt–18pt SBS for standard bottles and 20pt–24pt when the pack needs a heavier hand-feel or supports a glass bottle.
Oil-rich body lotions may need barrier coatings on interior panels — confirm formula contact requirements when spec'ing board. Soft-touch laminate, foil logos, and embossing are common on premium body-care lines without changing outer dimensions.
Production runs 8–12 business days after proof approval after proof approval. Order lotion box samples to validate pump clearance and laminate hand-feel before your first MOQ run.

FAQ
Lotion Boxes Questions
How do I measure a lotion bottle for a custom carton?
Measure assembled height, width, and depth with the pump or cap installed. Include overcap if it ships on the bottle. Add 2–3 mm per side for tuck clearance unless you spec a friction-fit insert.
Can lotion boxes match my other cosmetic cartons?
Yes. Share Pantone references and laminate spec from your existing skincare line so lotion SKUs align with serum or cream cartons on shelf.
Do lotion boxes need barrier coatings for oil-rich formulas?
Oil-rich body lotions may need interior barrier coatings so board does not soften if micro-leaks occur. Confirm formula contact requirements when you request a quote so we spec SBS and coatings correctly.
Can lotion cartons fit squeeze tubes as well as pump bottles?
Yes. Squeeze tubes need slim tuck cartons sized to the crimp seal and cap, while pump bottles need taller packs with actuator clearance. We build separate dielines per form factor instead of forcing one carton for both.
What board caliper works best for lotion gift sets with jars?
Most single lotion bottles use 16pt–18pt SBS; gift sets with jars or glass bottles often move to 20pt–24pt plus a multi-cavity insert. Yes. Physical samples are $25, credited toward your first full order, and ship within 5–10 business days. Digital proofs are always free before production.
