Cosmetics Box Packaging

Overview

 

Farouk Systems, a company known for manufacturing high-quality professional hair care products, reached out to Wynalda Packaging for a solution to package their CHI Vibes Squad Goals Kit, consisting of three product bottles.

The goal was to create a secure, aesthetic box that would prevent the bottles from rattling and shifting during transport, ensuring a premium unboxing experience for customers.

FEATURES

SPECIALTY COATINGS

INTERNAL DIVIDERS

DURABILITY

Structure & Materials

To meet these needs, we designed a top tuck auto-bottom folding carton with a tongue lock, offering secure closure and stability.

To keep the bottles from moving inside the box, we incorporated a custom internal divider that precisely fit the dimensions of the product. This divider was integrated into the structure of the box, providing a snug fit that effectively eliminated any internal movement.

For durability and a high-quality appearance, we used 24 pt SBS paperboard.

 

 

Printing & Coating

The box was printed using four-color process, achieving a bright, colorful design that reflects the playful spirit of the CHI Vibes brand.

To enhance the visual and tactile appeal, we applied an overall dull varnish and added spot gloss to key design elements, giving the package a sophisticated, premium finish.

Results

The final packaging solution for the CHI Vibes Squad Goals Kit delivered both form and function. The custom internal divider kept the bottles securely in place, while the vivid printing and specialty finishes created an eye-catching package. All of these elements came together to provide a premium unboxing experience for Farouk’s customers.

Microtech Knives Telescoping Rigid Boxes

The Challenge

 

 

Microtech Knives, a high-end manufacturer of premium knives, sought to upgrade their packaging from a simple corrugated hinged-lid box to something with a more premium look and feel that matched the high quality of their product. Their vision was to create packaging similar to “The Apple Box”.

FEATURES

METALIZED PAPERBOARD

DURABILITY

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

The Solution

Our package designers rose to the challenge and developed a custom rigid box with skived corners made from solid black chipboard. We incorporated angled cuts into the sides of the lid to give it a more unique and sophisticated look.

The box was wrapped with MPE laminate, achieving a metallic effect without the need for foil stamping, thereby maintaining consistency with Microtech’s existing branding. 

The boxes were printed using four-color process plus two spot colors to achieve the dramatic gold and red metallic colors that represent the Microtech brand. The print was finished with a combination of dull varnish and spot gloss treatments.

 

 

After the initial production run, Microtech desired an even higher quality look. In response, our team converted the box exterior to a solid black Neenah stock with a MPE laminate, which eliminated the white cross section on the cut ends of the wrap material. The result was a flawless, sleek package that perfectly represented the unsurpassed quality that Microtech puts into every one of their knives.

Results

Microtech was thrilled with the end result of their new packaging and how it aligned with their expectations and represented their brand. Based on their supply chain needs, Microtech also decided to take advantage of Wynalda’s Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) program. The program developed for Microtech’s specific needs, allows them to adjust which box SKUs are produced and available for immediate distribution. 

This project faced several challenges during the development phase, and required extreme attention to detail throughout the manufacturing process. Wynalda’s team of experts faced each challenge head on in order to ensure positive outcomes and exceed Microtech’s expectations.

NuLeaf Custom CBD Boxes

Project Overview

 

Wynalda partnered with NuLeaf, an organic CBD and hemp product manufacturer, to provide custom CBD boxes for their oils, balms, and softgels. We developed eight different seal-end folding carton designs, all constructed from FSC®-certified 20pt SBS (FSC® C149826).

 

FEATURES

SPECIALTY COATINGS

INSIDE PRINT

Inside Dividers

To hold the various sizes of products in place, many of these box designs incorporated inside dividers. Some of the cartons were designed so that when the box is erected, the dividers are automatically erected as well. Other designs required additional folding in order to accommodate the specific shape of the product.

Color Management

Each of the eight box designs has seven different color variations, indicating the type of product that it contains. For instance, their CBD products are green, their CBN products are purple, and their CBG products are yellow. All seven of these variations use custom PMS colors, which Wynalda produces and manages to insure color consistency and color quality across runs.

 

 

Inside Print

One of the defining features of these boxes is the bright inside print. The inside of each box is printed with a solid layer of that product’s corresponding color, adding vibrancy to the packaging. This design choice enhances the unboxing experience, elevates the perceived quality of the product, and reinforces NuLeaf’s branding.

 

Finishes and Embellishments

These boxes are all finished with a soft touch coating and spot gloss to give them a premium look and feel. Embossing is added to certain design elements to make them pop and enhance the tactile appeal of the packaging.

Don Julio Custom Box Sleeves

Project Overview

 

Don Julio sought to enhance their 1942 tequila bottles for the holiday season with elegant custom box sleeves, creating a special edition look perfect for gifting. Wynalda collaborated with ADM Group to develop three distinctive sleeve designs, each bearing festive messages: “Happy Holidays,” “Congratulations,” and “Happy New Year.”

 

FEATURES

EMBOSSING

FOIL STAMPING

DURABILITY

Structure & Materials

We designed a tall, slim o-sleeve tailored to fit around the slender boxes of the tequila bottles. We selected a 24pt SUS board for its durability and premium look and feel.

Printing & Coating

The sleeves were printed using two hits of a custom brown ink, ensuring rich, consistent color. To protect the sleeves from rubbing, we applied an overall gloss coating, followed by a dull varnish. By using this combination of coatings, we were able to achieve much better rub test results, while maintaining a luxurious appearance and tactile quality.

 

 

 

Embellishments

This project incorporated some complex, yet rewarding embellishments. We used hot foil to add the text and logo to the sleeve, followed by sculpted embossing to create a striking 3D effect. The challenging aspect of this design was that the embossed elements ran across the scores of the sleeve. In order to create the desired effect without affecting the crease lines, we carefully tapered the embossing at the scores.

 

Results

The holiday sleeves transformed the Don Julio 1942 tequila bottles into exquisite, gift-ready pieces. The combination of custom ink, sophisticated coatings, gold foil, and meticulous embossing created a stunning visual impact, enhancing the premium feel of the product.

Custom Molded Pulp Trays For Chocolate Bunnies

The Challenge

 

A large chocolate company had been facing a significant challenge with their direct-to-consumer chocolate bunnies一their ecommerce products were frequently arriving cracked. Their initial packaging solution involved wrapping the bunnies in bubble wrap, which proved insufficient in protecting the delicate products during transit. This not only led to customer dissatisfaction but also increased the cost due to replacements and returns. 

Recognizing the need for a more effective and sustainable solution, they sought a packaging method that could provide protection for their product while aligning with their commitment to environmental sustainability.

FEATURES

BIODEGRADABLE

RECYCLED MATERIAL

DURABILITY

The Solution

Wynalda Packaging stepped in to solve this problem by designing a custom molded pulp tray for the chocolate bunnies. This innovative packaging solution involved creating a tray that snugly fit around the bunny, ensuring that no part of the product was more than 3mm away from the surface of the tray. This close fit provided optimal protection against impacts and vibrations during shipping.

Wynalda Packaging provided samples for drop testing, allowing them to work together to refine the packaging and create a product with maximized protective capabilities. The molded pulp, made from up to 100% recycled materials and fully biodegradable, not only offered exceptional protection but also aligned perfectly with the company’s sustainability goals.

 

 

The Results

The implementation of the custom molded pulp tray drastically reduced the incidence of cracking during transit, significantly improving customer satisfaction and reducing the costs associated with product damage and returns.

This innovative packaging solution positioned this company as a leader in the industry, being one of the first to adopt molded pulp for shipping delicate products directly to consumers.

This solution was so effective that they are now expanding the use of this packaging technique to some of their other products, further enhancing their reputation for both quality and sustainability.

By adopting this advanced and eco-friendly packaging solution, they provided a compelling example of how companies can innovate to meet both environmental and operational goals.
