Kraft board
Brown outside and inside. Set a Box color on Outside or Inside to print over the brown, or pick No print to see it bare.
Soap box mockups in real-time 3DSized by the bar, in kraft or white
Make a soap box mockup that fits your bar, not a stock size. Measure the bar, type the size, choose kraft or white and place the name, scent and ingredients on the front and back.
Soap box sizes
Packaging for bar soap starts with the bar itself. Each card below opens at a size for one bar, or for several in the gift box, and you can type your own numbers in millimetres or inches.
| Card | Box | Inside size | For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bar soap box | Tuck top box | 100 × 40 × 70 mm | A bar up to about 95 × 35 × 65 mm |
| Kraft soap box | Medicine box | 95 × 35 × 65 mm | A bar a little smaller |
| Soap sleeve | Tube sleeve | 100 × 60 × 30 mm | Slides over a bar or a thin box |
| Soap belly band | Belly band | 100 × 65 × 30 mm | A band round a wrapped bar |
| Soap gift box | Magnetic box | 203 × 152 × 51 mm | Several bars side by side |
Skip the weight and measure the bar instead: length, width and thickness, then add a millimetre or two each way.
Soap box colors in the editor
Material switches the board on the folded soap boxes. The Soap gift box is wrapped instead, in White, Black or Kraft. Box color prints any color over the board on the face shown, and No print shows the bare board.
White both sides
White outside and inside, so both faces start white. Box color prints over whichever face is shown.
White outside board
A white outer face over a kraft inside. When the box is opened, the inside is brown unless you set a Box color on Inside.
Soap boxes to start from
Boxes, a sleeve, a band and a gift box, each set to a soap size.

A Tuck top box at 100 × 40 × 70 mm. A tuck lid on top and a glued bottom, in 0.5 mm paperboard.
Kraft soap box
A Medicine box at 95 × 35 × 65 mm in Kraft. The top lid is hinged on the back wall, the bottom lid on the front.
Soap sleeve
A paperboard tube open at both ends. It slides over a wrapped bar or a thin box.
Soap belly band
A narrow band glued round the middle of a wrapped bar, so most of the bar shows.

Tuck top box
The same carton at its starting size, 190 × 65 × 140 mm, for anything wider than one bar.

Soap box mockup FAQ
Short answers about sizes, boards and labels.
How can I make my own soap boxes?
Measure the bar, type that size plus a millimetre or two into a box here and place your artwork on the dieline. Export the dieline as a PDF or SVG and have a printer print, cut and crease it. Ask for a printed sample before the full run.
What are the typical dimensions of a soap box?
It follows the bar. The Bar soap box starts at 100 × 40 × 70 mm and the Kraft soap box at 95 × 35 × 65 mm, and you can type any size within each box's range, such as 100–300 × 40–120 × 40–300 mm on the Tuck top box.
How to make your own soap packaging?
Decide between a box, a sleeve and a belly band: a band shows most of the soap and uses the least board. Render the mockup as an image for your shop, then export the dieline for the printer.
Box, sleeve or belly band: which is best for handmade soap?
A box closes the bar in on every side. A sleeve is open at both ends and slides over a wrapped bar or a thin box, and a belly band covers only a strip round the middle, so most of the bar stays in view.
Can I make a kraft soap box?
Yes. Choose Kraft in the Material panel, or start from the Kraft soap box card, which opens in Kraft. Light colors print darker on the brown board.
What text goes on a soap box?
Most soap boxes carry the name and scent on the front and the ingredients and net weight on the back. Add all text to your design file before you upload it, because the editor places artwork rather than typing it. Labeling rules vary by country, so check the ones that apply to you.
Can I show a soap box from the front for my shop?
Yes. Turn the box until it faces you straight on, set the Background to Transparent and render a PNG to place on your shop page.
