Types of cream packaging boxes closures

The unboxing experience plays a fundamental role in branding. People have high expectations, especially when it comes to creams and beauty products. The closure/opening systems definitely impact how people interact with your product. Here are the most popular types of closures:

• Straight tuck boxes and reverse tuck boxes – the standard and most common style; both the top and the bottom have flaps for opening and closing
• Lock bottom boxes – ideal for heavier products; the bottom is fixed, and the customer can only open the top part
• Crash bottom boxes – also ideal for heavier products; the flaps lock the bottom into place, and the customer opens the top part
• Tuck top boxes – very common for makeup and cosmetics; the bottom does not open, and the top is a tuck flap closure
• Two piece boxes – the most luxurious option; consists of a lid and a tray

When choosing the type of closure for your cream boxes, it’s important to think about the container you are using (the size, the material, the quantity of cream), as well as how you want your customers to interact with the product.
