Project Overview

This sample project illustrates how a skincare brand's packaging requirements can be translated into a practical folding carton design. The focus is on product fit, material selection, and presentation details before production.

What Was the Packaging Challenge?

The packaging needed to accommodate a skincare product while keeping its presentation clean and consistent with the brand's design.

Several details required attention: the internal box dimensions, the product's position inside the carton, and the choice of paperboard.

The objective was to develop a structure that could be assembled efficiently while providing an appropriate fit for the product.

How Was the Packaging Solution Developed?

Choosing the Box Structure

A folding carton was considered for its compact structure and suitability for printed retail packaging.

The internal dimensions would need to account for the product size, board thickness, and any additional insert.

Selecting Materials and Finishes

Paperboard selection would depend on the required stiffness, printing appearance, and overall packaging budget.

Surface finishing options could be reviewed using physical samples rather than relying on digital artwork alone.

Reviewing the Insert

A paper insert could help position the product inside the carton.

Its design would need to consider how the product is inserted, removed, and supported during normal handling.

From Structural Sample to Final Approval

Before mass production, a physical sample would allow the packaging structure to be checked against the actual product.

Important checks include box dimensions, folding accuracy, product fit, and the appearance of printed details.

Any required adjustments should be confirmed before the final artwork and structure are approved.

The Finished Packaging

The intended result is a folding carton that fits the skincare product, presents the branding clearly, and is practical to assemble.

For a real customer story, this section should document the approved packaging structure, finished samples, and any verified project outcomes.
