From essential oils to different medicinal products, tinctures have many applications. These are used as a general packaging for serums, eyedrops, essential oils, medicinal products, and many other industries. Therefore, these tinctures are very popular in different retail industries.
For those who do not know what tinctures are, these are small glass bottles with usually a dropper on the top for easy pouring of the product. Unlike the glass bottles that are used for juices and other products, these bottles are of very small volumes, usually of 30 to 120mls.
Because of such small size and fragile nature of the tinctures, these are very fragile and can get damaged pretty easily. That’s why a secondary packaging is used to keep the tinctures safe from damage. A tincture means a wasted product. Therefore, it is better to use secondary packaging. Usually, that secondary packaging is of box material.
I have seen a lot of brands that sell the tinctures of their products without a secondary packaging, but their tinctures get easily broken even with a slight mishandling. Once you drop a product or collide it with some other product, the bottle breaks easily. So, a lot of care is required. Instead, when you are a tincture box or tincture packaging, you can ensure the safety of the product. Therefore, getting these boxes is a wise thing that you should get for your product.
Now that you know why you should get custom packaging, there is a lot you can do with your tincture packaging. There are two approaches you can take for the packaging. First, you can get ready-made packaging from the market, or secondly, you can have custom-made packaging. Both types of packaging have their own pros and cons.
Ready-made Packaging
The advantage of having ready-made packaging is that you can go to a packaging retailer and buy suitable sized boxes without any hassle involved. Thus, you can save a lot of time and effort by using these boxes.
Coming to the disadvantages, there are a lot of things you may have to compromise on. From the quality of the packaging to printing details, you will accept many things the way they are. A common problem a lot of people face is that the boxes are not getting the size and dimensions their product needs.
Custom Packaging
Getting custom packaging is relatively more hassle and time-consuming, but that time and hassle is worth it. There is a lot you can do when you have custom packaging. You can select from the choice of materials to the finishing, everything of your choice. Getting such a wide range of options to allow you to have many details and design options. Given all these options, you can get the best out of your packaging.
For your custom packaging, you get the following options:
Choice of Materials
For your custom tincture packaging, you can select the materials that fit your design requirements. Usually, the materials a lot of brands choose is card stock. Cardstock or cardboard is a highly customizable material that is durable at the same time. Therefore, with these boxes, you can have your product description, brand logos, taglines, and further details. The material is also compatible with various printing and finishing options. You can also take an eco-friendly approach with the packaging by using Kraft material. The brown Kraft boxes are recyclable and biodegradable, but you do not get as many customization options as you can get with white cardstock boxes. Both options are there for you to select.
Style of Boxes
You can also choose the style of boxes that fit your design requirements. There are many options like sliders, bookends, tuck ends, etc. Usually, tuck tops are used for this purpose, but you can also go with different packaging options. Your style of boxes has an important role in both the presentation and durability. So, it is better to have a packaging that has both of these qualities.
Custom Sizes and Dimensions
A very common problem with any retail product is getting the right size and dimensions. A major plus of custom packaging is that you can get custom dimensions instead of having to compromise with relatively suitable boxes.
Printing Options
Printing has a ginormous role to play in the presentation and branding of a packaging. For your custom packaging, you can not only choose what you want to print, but also you can select the type of printing. You can go with PMS, CMYK, and RGB printing options. Given all these options, you can have various color schemes, themes, and patterns on the packaging.
Finish Options
To make all your design details prominent, you can have a nice finish on your packaging too. From the usual gloss, matte, embossing, debossing to advanced options like foiling and spot UV, there are many options for you to select the right ones.
With such a wide range of options, it is better for you to have custom packaging.
