Custom Eyeshadow Boxes

Eyeshadow is pressed powder in a pan, which means a hard drop can crack it even when the outer compact never opens. Horizons Packaging builds eyeshadow boxes around keeping the compact still, since impact transfer, not just a hit to the outer shell, is what actually breaks a pan.

A Flat Compact Fails Differently Than a Tube

A tube-based product mostly worries about rattling or leaking. A flat compact takes most of its damage on the corners and edges during a drop, more than the center — so a loose-fitting box that lets it shift just enough to strike an edge is often what cracks the pan inside.

Corner Reinforcement Matched to the Compact

We reinforce the box structure at the corners, sized to the compact's actual footprint rather than leaving extra room. That snug fit is what actually stops the shifting that leads to corner impact in the first place.

Dividers for Multi-Pan Palettes

For palettes with several shades in one compact, we can add divider ridges or a light foam layer between pan rows, which keeps pressure off individual pan edges — the spot where cracking and color bleed between shades most often starts.

Room for the Mirror

Most eyeshadow compacts have a mirror built into the lid, adding thickness the box has to account for. We size the cavity depth around that, so the lid can close fully without compressing shut against the packaging.
