Packaging for beauty and personal care
A skincare carton is read at arm's length under shop lighting, next to ten competitors. Colour drift, a soft crease or a scuffed corner shows immediately. This is where most of our colour control was built.
What beauty buyers have to get right
- Brand colour, batch after batch
We measure against your signed sample every 500 sheets and keep the readings. Pantone spot inks are used for brand colours rather than CMYK builds. - Finish that survives handling
Soft-touch lamination shows fingerprints and scuffs. We rub-test every laminated job and can add an anti-scratch film where the box will be handled on shelf. - Small type that stays readable
Ingredient lists and regulatory text are often 5 point. Prepress checks minimum line weights and reverses before plates are made. - Inserts for glass and droppers
Card, moulded pulp or EVA inserts are cut to your bottle. Send three filled samples and we fit the insert to them, not to a drawing.
