| Corrugated board (all-paper type) | Offers cushioning and protection during transport. Suitable for fragile items or e-commerce packaging. |
| Molded pulp / Paper tray inserts | Made from recycled paper pulp; used to replace plastic trays for holding and separating products inside boxes. |
| Box Type | Description & Use Case |
|---|---|
| Rigid “lid and base" box (two-piece) | Classic luxury box with a separate lid and base. Offers strong protection and a premium feel. |
| Drawer / Slide box | Paperboard structure with a sliding drawer; elegant and great for gifting sets. |

Positive consumer perception: plastic-free packaging signals authenticity and care for the environment.
Compliance with “green packaging" trends across Europe, North America, and Asia.
| Challenge | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Moisture protection | Paper alone is not waterproof; if the product is liquid or humidity-sensitive, you’ll need a non-plastic barrier (like wax or biodegradable coating). |
| Structural strength | Heavy glass bottles or jars need thicker paperboard or reinforced design. |
| Production cost | Specialty paper or eco coatings may raise production costs slightly. |
| User experience | Paper packaging must balance protection, opening convenience, and reusability. |
Select FSC-certified or recycled paperboard (e.g., kraft or greyboard).
Avoid plastic lamination — instead, use water-based coatings or textured papers for protection and aesthetics.
Use molded pulp or die-cut paper inserts to hold products securely.
Choose natural finishes (matte, embossed, raw texture) to enhance the eco-luxury look.
Use paper-based labels and seals instead of clear plastic wraps.
Highlight recyclability on the packaging with clear icons or sustainability statements.
Rigid kraft boxes for organic skincare brands.
Drawer-style paper boxes for lipstick or perfume sets.
All-paper gift sets with paper pulp trays inside.
Uncoated specialty paper boxes with gold foil logo and embossing (common for high-end natural beauty lines).
