What size box for my bath bomb?
Bath bombs are round, so the box only needs to be slightly bigger than the bomb. Measure yours, then pick a box size from the table.
| Your bath bomb | Typical diameter | Suggested box (L × W × H) |
|---|---|---|
| Small / mini | 1.5–2 in (40–50 mm) | 2.25 × 2.25 × 2.25 in |
| Standard | 2.5–3 in (65–75 mm) | 3.25 × 3.25 × 3.25 in |
| Large | 3.5–4 in (90–100 mm) | 4.25 × 4.25 × 4.25 in |
| Set of 2, side by side | Standard size | 6.5 × 3.25 × 3.25 in |
- Add about ¼ in (6 mm) to the diameter, so the bomb slides in without rattling.
- Add a little more if your bombs are shrink-wrapped or wrapped in tissue.
- Bombs with dried flowers or bumpy tops need a bit more room.
- Not sure? Send us your bath bomb's measurements and we will suggest a size, free.
Bath bombs are fragile and react to moisture, so we recommend wrapping them first, or choosing packaging with a wrapper or liner.

Corrugated Materials
Corrugated gable boxes (the ones with wavy cardboard layers) offer extra strength. Choose corrugated if your bundle is heavier, you’re using inserts, or you want added protection during transport and handling.
| E-flute | Frequently chosen, it features a flute thickness ranging from 1.2 to 2mm. |
|---|---|
| B-flute | Perfect for bulky boxes and weighty objects, offering a flute thickness between 2.5 and 3mm.Designs are printed on primary materials and then mounted to corrugated board. All materials contain at least 50% post-consumer recycled content. |
| White | Clay Coated News Back (CCNB) paper, best suited for printed corrugated uses. |
| Brown kraft | Unbleached brown paper, perfect for black or white printing only. |
Non-corrugated Materials
Paper-based gable boxes, made with at least 50% recycled materials, typically range between 300–400gsm depending on size.
| White | High-quality printing results from using Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS) paper. |
|---|---|
| Brown kraft | Unbleached brown paper, perfect for black or white printing only. |
Printing
Each package is printed with soy-based ink, an eco-friendly option that results in notably brighter and more vivid colors.
| CMYK | CMYK stands as the most common and budget-friendly color scheme in printing. |
|---|---|
| Pantone | For accurate brand colors to be printed and is more luxury than CMYK. |
Coating
To keep your printed designs safe, a special coating is added that prevents scratches and scuffs.
| Varnish | A water-based coating that’s environmentally friendly, though not as protective as lamination. |
|---|---|
| Lamination | While a plastic coated layer offers protection against cracks and tears, it is not an eco-friendly option. |
Finishes
Add the final touch to your packaging with a finishing option that enhances your overall package.
| Matte | Featuring a smooth and non-reflective surface, this design provides an overall softer look. |
|---|---|
| Glossy | Glossy and reflective, this surface tends to highlight fingerprints more. |
| Satin | Semi-glossy, striking a balance between a matte and glossy appearance. |
| Soft touch | Resembles a matte finish in appearance, yet has a luxurious velvet-like texture to the touch. |
