Short answer
Perfume is usually packed in either a folding carton (light, economical, retail standard) or a rigid box (thick greyboard, gift-quality), with an insert that holds the bottle and cap still. Both are made to the exact bottle size, so choose the bottle first, then the box. Small runs start from 300 pieces.
Box styles
| Style | Feel | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Folding carton | Light, printed board | Retail shelves, e-commerce |
| Rigid lid-and-base | Heavy, gift box | Premium launch, gift sets |
| Magnetic flap | Opens like a book | Discovery sets, PR boxes |
| Drawer box | Slides out | Luxury single bottles |
Inserts
Inserts are cut in EVA foam, moulded pulp, folded paperboard or velvet-wrapped card. Pulp and paperboard are the most recyclable; EVA gives the tightest hold for heavy caps.
