Pack them yourself

Suits smaller runs and brands with their own packing set-up.

Our box manufacturing partner, The Packaging People in Melbourne, already has the dimensions of our packaging range. There's no measuring and no fit sampling. Tell them you're working with Cellular Cosmetics and they'll take it from there.

Boxing options
Pack them yourself, or we'll do it
We assemble and pack
Have The Packaging People deliver the boxes to 1/7 Activity Crescent, Molendinar QLD 4214. We assemble each box and pack your product into it during production.
Assembly and packing starts from $2 per unit. Boxes need to arrive before your production date.
Boxing is scheduled with your production run, so let us know when you order if you'd like us to pack your boxes.
Order your boxes first
Printed boxes take weeks, while white label orders are usually made within days. Start your box order before or alongside your product order. Or launch without boxes and add them to a later run.
Box styles

FAQ
Box questions
Do I need a box?
No. Boxes are optional — our products are delivered labelled and shelf-ready without them.
Who do I pay for the boxes?
The Packaging People quote, invoice and supply your boxes directly. If we assemble and pack them, that's charged by us from $2 per unit.
What's the minimum order for boxes?
It's set by The Packaging People and depends on the box style and print method. They'll confirm it with your quote.
How long do boxes take?
Express printing takes from about 4–6 weeks and standard about 10–12 weeks including delivery, from artwork approval. Order boxes early so your products aren't waiting on packaging.
What does the box need to say?
Your bottle or jar label still needs all its mandatory information. In the EU and UK, most of that information must also appear on the outer box. Many brands also repeat the ingredient list on the box so customers can read it before buying. See our label guide.
Can I use a different box supplier?
Yes. The Packaging People are the quickest route because they already have our packaging dimensions. If you use another supplier, talk to us before ordering if you'd like us to pack the boxes.
Can you pack boxes I already have?
Usually, yes — assembly and packing starts from $2 per unit. Contact us with the box details so we can confirm they suit our packaging before production.
