Perfume Packaging Guides

No. Send us the bottle measurements and a rough idea of what you want and we will do the rest. These guides exist for people who would rather understand the decisions than delegate them.

The size guide, because every other decision follows from the dimensions. Board choice comes next, then finish, then artwork preparation once the specification is settled.

Yes. The clearance figures, common formats, oil barrier requirements and dangerous-goods notes all reflect fragrance work specifically rather than general carton printing.

It removes the errors we see most often, which is not the same thing. For anything color-critical, ask for a printed sample on your actual stock before the run — that is the only check a digital proof cannot replace.

Turning a bottle into carton dimensions. It explains which three measurements to take, how much clearance to add per side, why a filling line needs more clearance than a hand-packed box, and how the numbers change for a rigid box with an insert. It takes about six minutes to read.

The print and finish glossary. Every term you will meet on a quote, such as spot UV, soft-touch, C1S, rich black and debossing, is defined with what it does to the box rather than just what it means. The board and material guide is the one to read if the unfamiliar word is a substrate.

No. The artwork and dieline guide covers bleed, safe zones, color mode, fonts and file formats, so your designer sets the file up correctly. The dieline itself still comes from us against your exact dimensions, and the guide shows you how to place artwork on it once you have it.

Before you fix a launch date, not after. It sets out what each stage of an order takes and which stage usually causes a missed deadline, so you can plan backward from the day you need boxes. Reading it once you are already late only tells you where the time went.

Yes. Send it with your quote request and we check it against the bottle dimensions, glue flaps, bleed and safe zones before anything is plated. Problems are flagged on the free digital proof rather than discovered on press, so an error in your file costs a revision, not a reprint.

Millimeters, because dielines are drawn in millimeters and the clearance rules are easier to apply that way. If you measure in inches, send the figures as they are and we convert them. Just say which unit you used, since a 70 by 40 mm carton and a 70 by 40 inch one are different jobs.
