Cosmetics displays: premium finishes in cardboard
Displays that carry high perceived value without switching to plastic or metal.
In cosmetics the display is judged on its finish: a print flaw or a badly folded edge undermines the product.
What it solves
Premium in cardboard is a question of finish
In cosmetics the display is read from close up. At thirty centimetres a badly folded edge or an uneven flat of ink is visible — and it transfers to how the product is perceived.
This is where cardboard holds up very well against plastic and metal: worked properly, it delivers deep flats of colour, clean die-cuts and controlled matt or gloss finishes, for a fraction of the cost and with far simpler recycling.
Because cosmetic products are small and usually numerous, the structural challenge shifts to inserts and restocking: a half-empty display reads as end-of-line.
We manufacture in Barcelona and deliver across the European Union: no customs, no duties, intra-community VAT invoicing.

FAQ
Cosmetics display FAQs
The questions that come up before a quote. If yours isn't here, write to us and we'll answer it.
Can cardboard achieve a premium look? +
Yes, provided the print and folding are done properly. Deep flats of colour, clean die-cuts and controlled matt or gloss finishes are all achievable in cardboard — it is execution quality that makes the difference, not the material.
How do you stop a tester display degrading? +
By designing the insert for handling, not just for presentation. Too tight and it tears with the first customer; too loose and the product sits crooked.
Do you work for perfumery and pharmacy? +
Yes — the two channels where finish and low footprint matter most. Tell us the channel and the target location.
