Custom Bath Bomb Boxes & Bath Bomb Packaging
Bath bombs are fragile, they are round, and they are constantly fizzing out fragrance that the carton has to hold in. Three problem at once. We print a good amount of bath bomb packaging at ZEE Packaging and most of what we fix for client come back to moisture, crumbling edge and scent escaping before the product ever reach the shelf.
Moisture Is The Real Enemy
A bath bomb start reacting the moment humidity get to it. The bath bomb box has to slow that down.
- Coated stock rather than raw uncoated board, uncoated draw moisture in
- Snug fit so there is less air sitting around the product
- Shrink wrap the bomb before it go in the bath bomb box if you ship into humid market
- Avoid open window on anything stored long term
- Seal end or tuck flap that close tight, not loose
We tell client this early because a beautiful bath bomb box means nothing if the product arrive crumbly and dull.
- Round tube carton the natural fit for a sphere, our most ordered bath bomb box
- Square tuck end cheapest bath bomb packaging, works with a cradle inside
- Hexagon and pillow box nice for gift and craft market
- Multipack tray with sleeve for four, six and twelve pack
- Rigid gift box premium bath bomb packaging for hamper and set
- Window carton shows the color swirl, popular in store
Sizes We Print Often
Every bath bomb box is built to your mold, but these come up constantly:
- 2.5" x 2.5" x 2.5" for a standard 2.5 inch bomb
- 3" x 3" x 3" for a large single bath bomb box
- 6" x 3" x 3" for a two pack
- 8" x 6" x 3" for a four pack bath bomb packaging tray
- 10" x 8" x 3" for six pack gift set
- 12" x 9" x 3" for a twelve piece hamper
Measure the bomb after it has cured, not fresh out the mold, because they shrink slightly as they dry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a window let moisture in?
A patched PET window is sealed so it does not, but a plain die cut opening will. For anything sitting in stock a while we suggest patched or no window at all.
Can we use plain kraft?
You can for the look, but raw kraft absorb humidity and your bomb will soften. We coat it or add a wrap layer instead.
How do we stop them crumbling in a multipack?
A divided tray so no two bomb touch, plus crinkle fill. Movement between unit is what cause most of the damage.
How much is a bath bomb box?
Rough estimate is $0.30 to $0.90 per unit for single folding carton, $0.85 to $2.10 for multipack tray and sleeve, and $2.20 to $5.50 for rigid gift box at moderate quantity. Foil and window patch add to it. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Does the box hold the scent in?
Coated stock and a tight closure help a lot. For strong essential oil blend we also suggest shrink wrapping each bomb first.
Do you print the ingredient panel?
We print whatever wording you supply. We do not write compliance copy, so send us the final INCI list.
Can you do a sleeve over a tray for a set?
Yes, that is one of our most requested bath bomb packaging formats for gifting.
