Hair extension box
18pt SBS, window or magnetic closure500 minimum · 10 to 12 business daysA hair extension box is a folding carton sized to hold a bundle or full set of extensions laid flat so the hair doesn't crease, tangle, or get crushed against the sides, often with a window or magnetic flap closure since the hair's texture and length are the main sell. We run them on 18pt SBS from 500 units, ready in about 10 to 12 business days after proof.
When to choose it, and when not to
Choose a hair extension box for a beauty or hair brand selling bundles or full sets at retail or online, where the box needs to hold the hair flat without creasing and show the texture and length through a window or magnetic flap.
Choose a resealable pouch instead if your extensions are a lower-cost, higher-volume product where unboxing presentation matters less than packaging cost. A folding carton costs more per unit than a simple poly bag.

Materials that suit it
Questions people ask
How long can the hair be before it needs a custom box size?
Anything past about 22 inches typically needs a custom length. Send us your longest length and weft count and we'll size the interior to hold it flat without folding.
Can you add a magnetic closure for a premium unboxing feel?
Yes, a magnetic flap closure is a common upgrade for hair extension boxes. It adds a bit of cost but gives a more premium open-and-close experience than a tuck-top.
Will a window show the hair texture without letting it get dusty or damaged?
A clear PET window insert protects the hair from dust and handling while still showing texture and length through the opening.
Can we fit multiple wefts of different lengths in one box?
Yes, tell us your full set's weft count and length breakdown and we'll design an interior tray or divider that keeps each piece organized and flat.
What foil or finish options work best for a luxury hair brand?
Gold or rose gold foil on the logo along with a soft-touch or matte finish on the board is a common combination for a premium hair extension line.
Is 500 units a reasonable minimum for launching a new hair extension SKU?
It's our minimum and a sensible starting quantity for a new SKU. We usually suggest starting here and scaling on a reorder once you confirm demand.
How is a hair extension box different from a magnetic closure box?
The hair extension box is an 18pt SBS folding carton with a flat cavity sized to the bundle length and weft count, with a tuck top, a magnetic flap or a window, from 500 units in 10 to 12 business days after proof. It ships flat and keeps cost per unit down. The magnetic closure box is a wrapped rigid box on 1000 to 1500 gsm board that arrives assembled and is kept, from 200 units in 12 to 14 business days. For everyday bundles, the carton with a magnetic flap is enough. For a luxury full set, the rigid box.
