Options for custom boxes for artisan perfumers have greatly increased

Here’s a quickie blog post about custom boxes for your perfume, bath and body or candles. (I originally sent this to Yahoo groups)
Hi Everyone:
I wanted to create a custom box supplier list for my students and share it here. I’ve seen a great increase in the number of companies offering custom cosmetics boxes in the past few years. From one or two that were known, there are now dozens. Some have a minimum (1200 for one of them!) and others will make just a few. Prices can vary from .79 each to several dollars each. All offer printing and some have other finish options. So, like all packaging searches, you have to do your own research. Once you have found a company you want to deal with, I suggest sending them the bottles, empty, with caps, and insist they do the measurements. This is especially important if you’re having interior die-cut corrugated support made.
I did a quick Google for the USA- and UK-based custom box companies, and if you are from another country and wish to expand your options, you may do the same for your locale.
