Common Mistakes by Product Type
Lipstick boxes:
- Too wide — looks empty and cheap
- Forgetting the window — customers want to see the shade
Skincare boxes:
- No insert — bottle rattles and breaks
- Too tall — wasted space and shipping cost
Makeup set boxes:
- Overpacked — products don’t breathe
- No divider — everything scratches together
