Gift boxes and gift bags for cosmetics and perfume
Direct Eco Green produces two families of packaging for beauty products: rigid presentation boxes for creams, lotions, makeup and perfume, and gift bags for carrying and gifting them.
- Cosmetic and perfume boxes — ivory cardboard or ivory paper with a matte lamination, in several formats and shapes, with or without an integrated lid.
- Gift bags — 250 g/m² ivory cardboard, which gives good resistance to weight and tearing and a clean premium finish.
Both are designed to reflect your brand image at the counter, in e-commerce shipments and in gift sets. Because shape, lid style and dimensions are set per project, the same visual identity can run across a full range — from a small lipstick box to a perfume gift set and the bag it is carried in — which keeps a launch or holiday collection consistent across every touchpoint.

Materials and recyclability
Direct Eco Green cosmetic boxes and gift bags are paper-based, and the board can be supplied FSC-certified under license FSC C204557, with FSC Mix or FSC Recycled labels. That gives beauty brands a verifiable sourcing claim on pack.
Be careful with end-of-life wording: paperboard is recyclable where facilities exist, but a matte laminate adds a thin film that can make recycling harder. If recyclability is a priority, ask for an unlaminated or alternative finish. Mineral-oil-free inks are available on request — ask when you send your artwork.
Claims and compliance for the US and Canada
Cosmetic packaging claims fall under the FTC Green Guides in the US: "recyclable" and "recycled content" must be qualified and substantiated, and "eco-friendly" should not be used without a specific basis. In California, SB 343 restricts the chasing-arrows symbol and "recyclable" claims to materials that meet state recyclability criteria. An FSC label under license C204557 is a claim Direct Eco Green can document for paper grades.
Custom printing and private label
Direct Eco Green customizes size, shape, colors and logo placement, so each box and bag matches your product line and private label identity. Cosmetic boxes are often ordered with jewelry gift boxes or jewelry pouches and shipped together. Samples are available before mass production.
Why buy cosmetic packaging factory-direct from Direct Eco Green
Direct Eco Green is a manufacturer and sourcing partner, not a distributor: it works with audited partner factories in Asia and Europe, controls quality on site and consolidates several packaging references into one shipment. For beauty brands placing bulk or recurring orders, that means a lower total cost of ownership and packaging built to your exact specification.
