Transparent Eyelash Packaging Ideas

Sometimes, some customers want to be able to preview false lashes before buying. This is particularly important if you sell different types and styles of lashes. Every customer’s lash preference will vary so they’ll want to be able to see what each set of lashes looks like before buying. Design eyelash packaging with translucent film, eco-friendly plastic or see-through pouches.

Lash Packaging with Creative Shapes

Typically, lash packaging comes available in a rectangular box, but you can switch things up. Opt for diamond-shaped, pyramid-shaped, circular or polygon-structured box packaging instead.

Lash Packaging Ideas with Mirror

Give your customers extra value and useful packaging by designing lash packaging with a mirror. Think of the lash packaging with a mirror as a two-in-one product for the customer. Create a compact packaging (round or square-shaped) that a customer can use on the go to ensure their lashes are on point.

3 Tips for Eye-Catching Lash Packaging Design Ideas

To achieve the best results using lash packaging ideas, here are some of our top tips and helpful hints for eye-catching designs that will encourage your customers to buy and boost sales for your business.

Bold and Elegant Visuals

Customers are drawn in by the visuals of product packaging, so consider incorporating high-resolution images of lashes on the packaging to showcase the product’s quality. Bold and elegant visuals – with the right colors, icons, packaging typography and symbols – are attractive and can help influence a customer into making a decision to buy the lashes.

Unique Structural Design

Make your lash packaging stand out from the crowd. Experiment with unique structural designs that set your lash packaging apart and impress your customers. For example, many eyelash packaging designs come in a rectangular-shaped box, so why not try a pyramid box instead or an intricately designed box?

FAQs on Eyelashes Packaging Ideas

Here are some frequently asked questions about lashes packaging ideas.

What elements should I include in my lash packaging design ideas?

As well as including your brand logo, colors, fonts and values in your lashes packaging ideas, you should include bold and elegant visuals, unique structural design and a compelling brand story.

You can try 3D printing technology, where packaging is printed with logos, colors, information, product names, instructions and fonts using computer control to create a 3D object, then fused together, layer by layer. Custom lash box printing is another option, where you select your unique packaging styles and branding and then place the order.

How can I effectively convey lash care instructions on the packaging?

You can effectively convey lash care instructions on the packaging by including aftercare cards within the packaging. Aftercare cards communicate with your customers and provide simple instructions to help them care for their lashes after application.
