Custom Wig Boxes With Satin Linings

Linings, Forms and Inserts

Satin-look linings are a favourite with wig brands because they are smooth against the hair, reduce friction and look luxurious. The lining can cover the base, the walls and the inside of the lid. A pocket in the lid can hold a care card, a wig cap or a satin bag.

To hold the wig in shape, some boxes include a foam or card head form, or a raised dome that the wig sits on. Others use a simple card insert with a slot for the lace edge. For long wigs, a tissue wrap around the length keeps strands from tangling. Tell us how the wig is styled and we will suggest the best way to hold it.

Accessories can travel in the same box. A small compartment for a wig cap, edge brush, clips or a bottle of care product turns the box into a complete kit and saves the customer buying them separately.

Sizing Custom Wig Boxes

Wig boxes are usually sized around the wig on a form or folded gently in half. For a short bob or pixie cut, a box around 250 mm square and 120 mm deep is often enough. Shoulder-length wigs need a little more length, and very long wigs of 600 mm or more may need a long, shallow box so the hair can lie flat.

If your range includes several lengths, two or three box sizes usually cover everything. Measure each style on its form or as you would pack it, including any curls, and we will set sizes that hold them without crushing.

Weight is rarely a concern with wigs, but volume is. Curly and coily textures take up far more space than straight hair of the same length, so measure the styled wig rather than relying on the length alone. A sample box made up before the full run is a good way to check that your fullest style fits comfortably. p2 The guide to measuring a product explains how to allow for volume rather than length.

Branding That Suits Hair Brands

Wig and hair brands often lean towards bold, glamorous packaging: black, pink, nude or white wraps with foil logos, or striking photography of the model wearing the wig. Inside printing can carry a welcome message, care instructions or a social media handle, encouraging customers to share their unboxing.

Foil, embossing and soft-touch laminates all work well on wig boxes. A ribbon closure or a magnetic flap adds a satisfying opening. For salons and stylists, a simpler design with your salon name and a clean colour scheme keeps costs down while still looking professional.

Think about the moment your customer posts a video of the unboxing. The lid coming off, the lining, the wig on its form and any thank-you card all appear on camera. A design that looks good from above, with a clear logo inside the lid, gets shown off far more often than a plain box. p2 Gift editions in a magnetic box are shown on our hair extension gift boxes page.

Posting Wigs Safely

Most wigs are sold online, so the box must survive the post. Rigid presentation boxes are strong but can scuff, so pack them inside a plain or printed shipping carton. Corrugated mailers can travel on their own with just a label. Either way, the wig should not be able to slide; a form or insert takes care of that.

Keep the outer packaging discreet if your customers prefer it. Some people buy wigs for medical hair loss and value privacy. A plain outer carton with the branded box inside is a thoughtful approach that many brands use.

Before a busy launch, post a boxed wig to yourself or a friend and look at it on arrival. Check that the form held, that the lid did not press on the curls and that the outer carton protected the wrap. It is a simple test that catches problems while they are still cheap to fix.

Measure the Styled Wig, Not the Hair Length

Wig makers tend to quote a length, but a 20 inch deep-wave unit takes twice the box of a 20 inch straight one. Put the wig on its form, styled as it will ship, and measure the width across the fullest curls, the length to the ends and the height from the base of the form to the crown. Send those figures for your fullest and your longest style and we set sizes that cover the range without crushing anything.

Decide on the form or insert and the lining at the same time, because they fix the inside depth, and say whether the box posts on its own or inside a plain carton. The custom quote arrives by email within one working day, from £0.25 for a simple mailer, with the minimum set per job.

The free proof shows the box, the insert and the inside-lid print. Production takes 4 to 7 working days after approval and the boxes reach UK mainland addresses by free tracked delivery. Makers who also sell bundles usually add our flat boxes for hair extensions in the same wrap so the two sit together on a shelf.
