150 ML bottle packaging for the 5 ounce stuff: shampoo, lotion, toner, body oil, the odd syrup. We’d size a tuck end (or a rigid box) off your real bottle, cap on, and glass usually gets an insert. Room for ingredients too.
Your time is very important to us so we have kept it short.
A 150 ml bottle is kind of a pain to box, we’ll admit it. It rattles in a small cosmetic carton and swims in a shipper, and no two clients send us the same shape (we’ve had amber Boston rounds, squat ovals, a tall one with a flip cap last week), so our 150 ML bottle packaging starts from your bottle on the bench.
Who orders it? Skincare and haircare people mostly, plus a syrup maker or two. The complaint we hear is always some version of “the pump snapped in the mail” or “it tipped over in the box”.
Measure three things. Full height with the cap or pump on, the widest point (which is usually the shoulder, not the base, people get this wrong a lot), and depth if the bottle is oval, and then if you can, just mail us a bottle because pumps and droppers add height everyone forgets and a box a few millimeters short will crush the actuator the moment the tuck closes.
Most people go with a tuck end. For heavier glass we’d push you toward an auto lock bottom instead, since every time someone lifts the box by the top the weight of the bottle shoves down on those base flaps and a plain tuck eventually gives. Starting from zero? Our standard cosmetic box sizes guide has the common dimensions.
Glass is heavy.
Put a 150 ml glass bottle in a box with nothing holding it and it slides and knocks against the walls on every bump down the road, so we usually add a plain cardstock insert with a cutout for the neck or base, which keeps it standing up and off the panels. Pump bottles are a bit different. You want the insert to carry the shoulder so the pump isn’t taking the weight.
Plastic forgives a lot more, and a snug box is often all it needs. Shipping straight to customers, though? Then we’d put a corrugated outer or a small mailer around the retail box, to be fair it costs little and saves a lot of refund emails.
Front panel gets the brand, product name and volume. The sides and back carry ingredients, directions and warnings, and at this size there’s actually enough room to set them in a type size people can read without squinting, so use it, you’ll get fewer “how do I use this” emails.
For skincare we like SBS paperboard with matte or soft-touch lamination (it prints the cleanest and looks calm, a little clinical). Botanical brands tend to go kraft with a one-color logo. Foil, embossing, spot UV, all available if you want them. Our team sets up the dieline and lays out your artwork at no extra cost, then sends a digital proof before anything prints. Selling other sizes too? Have a look at our 100ml bottle boxes and the 50ml bottle packaging so the whole line matches on the shelf.
Only if they measure almost the same. Glass is often wider for the same volume, so check both before you lock one size in.
We’d skip it on most oils, since light gets in through the window and your bottle already wears a label. A toner in clear plastic, maybe.
Often around 50 boxes depending on the style, and yes the unit price gets cheaper the more you order. Once you okay the proof we need 10 to 12 business days, then it ships free by ground anywhere in the USA. Browse the full bottle packaging range or send us your bottle specs.
Plenty of customers order this alongside 100ml bottle boxes, 50ml bottle packaging and 4 pack bottle carrier. More styles are in bottle packaging boxes, and beer box dimensions covers the common sizes.
