One of the quickest ways to position your brand as high-quality and raise its price point is through a sophisticated soap box. The premium embellishment that never fails to make products look luxurious is foil stamping. This technique consists of a foil applied by heat and pressure to the desired areas with a metal die.
The foil comes in various colors and can be combined with embossing or debossing to create a more striking 3D box that will delight the eyes of your customers. Have a look at some pretty soap packaging ideas with foil stamping:

We know you’ve invested so much in your business already, and you’re just one step away from presenting your soap to the world. If you don’t have a box design yet or your budget is tight for the moment, we’ve got your back. Our blank boxes (white, black, or kraft) are cheaper than custom printed boxes and you’ll be all set in no time by adding some catchy labels. Blank boxes are one of the cheapest soap packaging ideas.
You can also apply your label to a simple paper wrapper or to a foiled soap bar. The labels are waterproof and can be printed in any shape you can think of. Another advantage is that we can produce them faster than a custom printed box, so you can start making a profit as soon as possible.

Kraft paper is another trend that the world cannot get enough of, and we couldn’t agree more. Its raw look & feel and the fact that it’s made out of 100% recycled material make it the best eco-friendly packaging. Many of our customers place kraft paper on top of the list of homemade soap packaging ideas.
And in case you were thinking that not much can be done with a brown box, have no doubt that brown paperboard is very versatile. Any color (including white) can be printed on kraft paper, and the absorbent texture will create a unified & natural look that works wonderfully with an organic line of products or a vintage design. There are no limits for soap packaging designs on kraft paperboard.

Holster soap boxes make it so much easier to showcase your soap colors and scents. A half or holster box holds the bottom of the soap bar, while the rest is fully on display. They allow your customers to hold the product without causing any damage, and feel its scent right away. Simply one of the most creative soap packaging ideas!
A holster box also allows water to evaporate naturally, so you can still have the soap on display while it gets completely cured. Multiple shapes and sizes are available in our box library.

Coatings and finishes can drastically change the way your boxes look and feel. All the options we offer look amazing, and some of them can even be combined to create a truly unique box.
Depending on the look you’re after, you can go with Matte Laminate Coating, High Gloss Coating, Spot UV Coating, Scuff Proof Laminate, or Soft-Touch Laminate. Besides boosting the visuals of your box, coatings and finishes also add an extra layer of protection to the paper. See various examples in the soap packaging ideas listed below:

One way to truly set your brand apart from your competitors is by creating a soap box in a custom shape. This is the option where you can let your creativity roam. If you’re wondering how to package round soap or custom-shaped bars, find inspiration in our gallery of custom-shaped soap packaging ideas from below.
Even if you have a cylindrical soap, a pyramid, flower, or star-shaped soap bar, you can design a custom box to highlight that unique shape. Or perhaps you’ve imagined a specific way in which your box opens and closes. With a custom die, we can print and cut any shape you can imagine.

Most of the time the customers will buy according to how nice the package looks, but for many of them, it’s also important how the soap itself looks and smells. A custom cutout on a soap box offers that sensory experience to your customers, while also protecting the soap as a full box.
Cutouts can make your soap packaging design stand out by adding the color and texture of the soap to the game. The beauty of applying a cutout to a soap box is the ability to match the shape of the cutouts with elements of your brand, such as the contour of your logo or a certain design shape that highlights your soap. The cutouts can be in any size as long as the box still remains stable, and they can be applied to any panel of the box.

Last but not least, sleeves are one of the most budget-friendly soap packaging ideas. Although the space on a sleeve is smaller than on a full box, they can still be very informative, with enough room for your custom graphics, logo, ingredients, and most important copy.
They work perfectly for any kind of soap and design, can be printed on any paper (white, kraft, metallic), and you can add coatings and finishes.
