Soaps are everyday personal hygiene products that should be packed in the right packaging to prevent contamination and breakage. The right soap packaging will ensure your customers receive products in pristine condition, which can lead to higher customer satisfaction. Selling is an art and it can be achieved using custom soap packaging.
The competition in the soap market has led to the need for distinctive packaging to stand out. Types of soap boxes are divided into two main categories, types by style and types by material. Read this blog to explore more!
Rigid Luxury Soap Boxes
Rigid soap packaging is known for its luxurious appeal, reusability, and ultra durability. It can also be recyclable, reducing landfill waste. High-value soaps deserve to be packed in luxury packaging that also improves their perceived value and boosts sales. The tensile strength and aesthetic appeal of rigid soap boxes ensure your customers receive luxury soaps in pristine condition while showcasing the exclusivity of your brand. Some popular luxury soap packaging styles include a two-piece, tray & sleeve, magnetic closure, and box with lid.
Cardboard Soap Boxes
One of the most popular types of custom soap boxes is cardboard soap packaging. Cardboard is known for its affordability, eco-friendliness, customizability, and sturdiness. Most soap packaging in the retail environment is made from cardboard. The flexible nature of cardboard allows you to create every shape and style for soap packaging. You can create a piece box or a set-up box for multiple soaps easily with cardboard.
Kraft Soap Boxes
Eco-conscious brands mostly use kraft soap boxes due to their 100% biodegradable properties. Another reason to choose kraft soap box packaging is the rustic charm of kraft paper that adds a vintage touch to the packaging. The global market value of kraft packaging is expected to grow to USD 57.08 billion by 2030 due to its eco-friendly nature. One of the reasons for the rising demand for kraft packaging is that it also aligns with consumers’ contemporary tastes.
Corrugated Soap Boxes
Corrugated boxes are one of the types of soap packaging used for shipping. This type of soap box packaging is made using multiple layers of cardboard and kraft flutes, ensuring the strong construction of corrugated soap boxes. They are eco-friendly and can be customized in your preferred color, shape, style, and size. You can pack single soap in separate boxes and then collectively pack all the stock in a large corrugated carton to ensure safe shipping.
Window Soap Boxes
Moving forward with the types of soap boxes by style, window soap boxes are the most adorable and attention-grabbing. These boxes contain window cut-outs in different shapes and are covered with PVC. The popular window cutouts come in rectangular, oval, round, square, and star shapes. However, you can get soap boxes with custom window shapes. PVC on the window cut-outs gives a sneak peek of colorful and fragrant soaps. The unique style influences customers and they end up buying products.
Tray & Sleeve Soap Boxes
Most luxury, premium, and handmade soaps are packed in tray & sleeve boxes. These boxes feature a tray-like base and a sliding lid, which offers a secure enclosure. The aesthetically pleasing style makes tray & sleeve soap boxes user-friendly and customers’ unboxing experience delightful. Tray & sleeve packaging is also called drawer boxes and sliders. Drawer soap boxes give your customers a hide-and-seek playful product experience.
Two-Piece Soap Boxes
Single soaps are mostly packed in two-piece soap boxes that have a base and a lid that snugly fits on the base, providing a secure enclosure. The two-piece style is ideal for luxury soap boxes. They look more appealing with inserts in the boxes. Shoulder-neck style is also considered a two-piece. They can be made using rigid stock and cardboard material. Two-piece soap boxes can be designed with windows to maximize product visibility and aesthetic appeal. You can add more customization details on the soap boxes to increase your brand awareness.
Soap Boxes with Lids
Soap boxes with lids contain a large-sized base and a separate lid. These boxes are often used to pack multiple soaps in one package. They are ideal for promoting new soaps and giveaway mini samples in boxes with lids. The lid of soap boxes can easily open and close with a snug fit on the base, protecting soaps from air pollutants and dust. Soap boxes with a lid can be customized in different shapes, designs, and sizes. Adding inserts in the box helps keep each soap intact and prevent them from falling apart on each other during handling and storage.
Pillow Soap Boxes
As the name suggests, pillow soap boxes are pillow-shaped boxes that are ideal for packing single soap. The fine curves and sharp edges of pillow-shaped boxes can only be created using flexible and sturdy material. This is why most soap pillow boxes are made from cardboard and kraft paper. The uniqueness of pillow soap boxes lies in their shape and aesthetic appeal. These boxes feature a tuck or sliding mechanism to ensure soap safety during shipping, handling, and storage.
Magnetic Closure Boxes
Most luxury soap subscription boxes are made from rigid stock and feature a magnetic closure. They are made in a flip-flop style that closes with the help of a built-in magnet with a snap-shut mechanism. Soap magnetic closure boxes have foam, cardboard, or rubber inserts that convey a sense of luxury to your customers. They are often made for packing, presenting, and shipping multiple soaps in one box.
