Custom Additional Box Features for Lotion Packaging
Lotion tubes and pump bottles are slim and flexible, so their packaging needs features that keep them upright, supported, and protected from pressure. We offer structural upgrades such as reinforced end flaps, secure tuck closures, and custom-fit inserts to prevent movement and maintain the shape of the tube during transport. When needed, you can also add practical design elements like thumb cutouts, friction locks, or tab-lock closures to make the box easier to open while keeping the bottle in place. These enhancements help your lotion boxes stay functional, stable, and ready for retail display.

How do I choose the right box bottom structure for my lotion packaging?
Glass lotion bottles require a secure base. At QinPrinting, we optimize our box structures to ensure safety without compromising on style. Here is how to choose based on your budget and assembly needs:
Comparison Options
- Auto-Lock Bottom (Crash Lock) Best for Fast Assembly. The premium choice for high-volume orders. It comes pre-glued and pops open instantly. While it costs slightly more per unit, it saves you 50% on assembly labor time. The glued base provides the ultimate rigidity for heavy luxury jars.
- Reinforced Tuck End (With Locking Slits) Best Value & Versatile. Updated Design: Unlike standard tuck boxes, we add special locking slits (friction locks) on the bottom flap. These cuts engage firmly with the dust flaps, creating a secure lock that can safely hold heavier glass lotion bottles. It is the most economical choice if you don’t mind manual folding.
- Snap-Lock Bottom (1-2-3 Bottom) The Middle Ground. Stronger than a standard tuck but cheaper than an auto-lock. It features an interlocking design that supports heavy weights. However, it takes the longest to assemble by hand.
Can I add window patching to my lotion box?
Showcase your bottle design while keeping it secure. Adding a clear PVC or PET window allows customers to see the lotion color and bottle shape without opening the box. This transparency builds trust and highlights the premium nature of your product on the shelf.
Do you offer custom box styles?
Yes, we offer various box styles, and you can get pricing online. You can also contact us to customize other styles.
Do you provide dieline templates for boxes?
Yes. Standard templates are available for download under our online quote tool or on our template page. For custom box shapes, contact us and we’ll prepare a personalized dieline.
Can I add foil stamping to my boxes?
Yes, you can choose to foil stamp with various colors of metallic foil. Additionally, you can select embossing, debossing, spot UV, and other special effects.
Can I use eco-friendly materials?
Yes, sustainable options like FSC-certified stock are available. Many clients choose eco-friendly custom boxes to highlight their brand’s commitment to sustainability.
Can you print with white ink or Pantone color?
Yes, we can.

What Our Customers Say
Real stories from customers who worked with us to create custom packaging they’re proud of.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with QinPrinting. From start to finish, their team was responsive, professional, and truly invested in helping me bring my vision to life. I printed my first edition of a 58-card deck (complete with a custom magnetic box) and the results were stunning.
The color accuracy, matte finish, and premium cardstock all exceeded my expectations. Every detail shows real craftsmanship. The communication was outstanding too; they provided clear updates, design templates, and guidance at every stage.
What impressed me most was how personal the process felt. Even though they’re a large-scale printer, they treated my small-batch creative project with care and respect.
If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality printer for custom card decks, packaging, or creative projects, I can’t recommend QinPrinting enough. I’ll absolutely be printing with them again for my next production run!
Susan!!!! These books are SOOOOOOO beautiful! I don't think we could have dreamed how joyful it would be to open the box and find such care for and beautifully printed books. This was a special day -- we hope to have many more like it.
Thank you for fielding so many questions. Your patience with us (well, me) was so kind. You and your team have gone above and beyond for us.
Gratefully,
MAC
Most of all, we are so grateful for Nelson’s support throughout the entire process. He was consistently helpful, communicative, and detail-oriented — truly a pleasure to work with. Every step was made easier thanks to his guidance and care. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Highly recommend both the product and working with Nelson. We’ll definitely be back for future projects.
A special thanks to Nelson, who went above and beyond by sending us videos of the printed books and samples before shipping to ensure everything was perfect. His attention to detail and dedication gave us great peace of mind.
We had a children’s book printed and the final product was absolutely beautiful. The print quality, vibrant colors, sturdy binding, and professional packaging exceeded our expectations. Delivery was timely and the pricing was very competitive, especially for the high level of quality and service we received.
We were so impressed that we didn’t hesitate to place a second order with them and once again, everything was flawless.
If you're looking for a reliable, high quality, and customer focused printing company, QinPrinting is the one to go with. Highly recommended!
