Whether you deal in the exquisite handmade soaps with natural wholesome ingredients or you sell the medicated soaps meant to heal different skin conditions or you simply help people fight off the germs with your toilet soaps, the soap industry is undoubtedly among the most competitive industries. 

The quality of your soap alone cannot help you survive in such a highly competitive market. Without an alluring presentation, it is not only difficult to thrive but even impossible to survive in today’s retail world. And you say presentation, I say packaging. That is what wholesale soap packaging is meant to do; allure the customers with a professional outlook, help you be recognized and stand out.

Besides, the custom soap boxes are meant to fulfil the basic purpose of any packaging i.e. protecting the product. Get your boxes designed aesthetically and professionally because they are going to cast the first impression of your brand on your audience’s mind. Here are a few basic things to take care of while designing the perfectly suitable custom soap boxes.

Be Careful while Selecting the Stock

Providing protection to the product is the foremost purpose of any packaging. Here, the selection of stock plays a vital role. You should be able to strike a balance between sturdiness and affordability. Most wholesale box manufacturers provide stock options from 12pt to 24pt. 

You must keep in mind that a damaged box can tarnish the entire image of your brand. It should be solid enough to protect the soaps in transit while maintaining their own shape. 

Besides, go for the eco-friendly options while selecting the manufacturing material. Boxes made with recycled material can help your brand earn the respect of your audience. It will not only be a favour to the planet but also favour to yourself. This is because people prefer biodegradable and recycled packages over synthetic ones. So it can help enhance your sales besides uplifting your brand’s image. 

Size of the Box Matters a Lot

When it comes to the custom boxes, it is more about the customized size than anything else. Your box must be made with the highest precision of size and shape. It helps create a professional outlook for your product. The tailor-made, bespoke boxes are one of the most effective tools in furthering the image of any company. 

The boxes should be sized in a way that they are neither too tight nor too loose. Rather the soaps should fit snugly into the box. It helps reduce the Extra space and this, in turn, makes sure you don’t have to pay more than you should for shipping. Moreover, a snug fit also helps reduce the chances of damage. 

In order to make sure that your box is most precisely sized, you should go for a sample box before finalizing the order with your packaging company. A mock-up helps you ascertain the precision of shape and size besides the quality of the box. It is recommended that you go for a physical sample instead of just relying on the 3D samples. 

Be Unique, Get Noticed

A tinge of uniqueness both in design and printing can help you a lot in standing out from the rest and hence be easily recognised and remembered. Try to go for some novel box design options. Most box manufacturers offer free consultation on designing. They help you land on a design that is unique and yet trendy while staying within your budget. 

The options like window cutting and hanging tabs can help your boxes look more attractive and your product seem more valuable. 

Besides, you should be courageous enough to go the extra mile ahead of others when it comes to printing the box. Don’t be hesitant in trying different printing techniques which bring some life to your box. For example, you can get your logo embossed on your box. Or get it done with a raised ink effect for a 3D look. Spot UV helps you shine out the rest while silver or gold foiling adds a bit of luxury to your plain looking boxes. You can request any of these options to your custom box manufacturer and they will get it done as per your demand.

Choose a Final Finishing for a Premium Look

If you want your boxes to radiate your brand’s persona in the most elite fashion, invest in some quality finish for your boxes. It is an investment worth every penny. Finishing your boxes well will help you get an air of a premium brand. 

There are several options when it comes to selecting the final coating. You can go for an aqueous coating, matte finish, gloss finish, semi-gloss finish, and many others.
