Custom Bath Salt Boxes & Bath Salt Packaging
Bath salt is a loose product with weight, and that changes everything about the carton. Unlike a bomb or a bar, salt shift around, it find every weak seam, and it pull moisture out the air like a magnet. We print plenty of bath salt packaging at ZEE Packaging and nearly every issue a client bring us trace back to those two thing, weight and humidity.
Weight Changes The Whole Brief
A jar of salt is heavier than most people account for when they spec a bath salt box.
- 8oz to 16oz is normal, and that load sit on the base panel
- Thin board bow in the middle once a few unit stack on a shelf
- The bottom seam is where cheap bath salt packaging split first
- Auto lock bottom hold weight far better than a snap lock
- If the salt goes in loose, the carton need an inner pouch or liner
We would rather move a client up a board grade than watch a bottom blow out in transit.
- Tuck end carton over a jar the classic retail bath salt box
- Auto lock bottom carton for heavier fill, our recommendation on anything past 12oz
- Sleeve over a tin or tube clean look, quick to pack
- Rigid gift box premium bath salt packaging for spa set and hamper
- Pouch inside a carton for loose salt without a jar
- Multipack tray with sleeve three or four scent sold together
Sizes We Run Regular
Every bath salt box is built to your container, though these come up over and over:
- 2.5" x 2.5" x 4.5" for an 8oz jar
- 3" x 3" x 5" for a 16oz jar bath salt box
- 3.5" x 3.5" x 6" for a large apothecary jar
- 2" x 2" x 5" for a slim test tube style
- 8" x 6" x 4" for a three jar gift set
- 10" x 7" x 4" for spa hamper bath salt packaging
Measure the jar with the lid on and include any dosing scoop that sit on top.
Board And Moisture
Salt is hygroscopic, meaning it draw water straight out the air, so the stock matter.
- SBS C1S coated, our default for printed bath salt box
- 18pt minimum on jar cartons, 20pt to 24pt for heavier fill
- Kraft only with a coating or wrap, bare kraft will soften over time
- Corrugated E flute for shipping and multipack
- Rigid greyboard 36pt for gift range
- Poly or foil lined pouch inside if the salt is loose
Print And Finish
- Matte or gloss lamination, both add a barrier against damp
- Soft touch for premium spa positioning
- Spot UV over the logo or a botanical illustration
- Foil stamping, copper and silver read very spa
- Emboss on kraft look great for handmade range
- Window patch with PET so the crystal color show
Panel Requirements
- Ingredient list in INCI order
- Net weight in oz and grams

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the price for a bath salt box?
Rough estimate is $0.35 to $1.00 per unit for jar carton, $0.90 to $2.20 for multipack tray and sleeve, and $2.40 to $5.80 for rigid gift box at moderate quantity. Foil and window patch push it up. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Can we sell loose salt without a jar?
You can, but the salt need a lined pouch inside the bath salt box. Board alone will not hold it and moisture will get through eventually.
Which bottom style for a 16oz jar?
Auto lock every time. A snap lock bottom is fine at 8oz but past that the seam start giving under weight.
Will bare kraft work?
For the look yes, for the product no. Bare kraft absorb humidity and the panel go soft. We coat it or add a printed wrap over rigid instead.
Do you supply the jar and scoop as well?
We supply the carton, pouch and sleeve. Jar and scoop you would source separately, though we size the bath salt packaging around whatever you pick.
Can you do a window on a jar carton?
Yes with a PET patch. It work nicely when the crystal color or dried botanical is the selling point.
How do we stop jars knocking in a gift set?
A die cut divider so each jar sit in it own well. Crinkle fill on top of that if the set is going through courier.
