Frequently Asked
Questions

Answers to common questions about cosmetic packaging MOQs, custom samples, production lead times and PCR options.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom cosmetic packaging?

Standard plastic packaging, PCR packaging, printing or spray-coating projects using existing designs, and new-mold plastic projects typically start at 10,000 pieces. New-mold glass projects typically start at 30,000 pieces. Final MOQ depends on the selected product, material, decoration and components, and is confirmed during technical review.

How much do custom packaging samples cost, and how long do they take?

Custom color-spray or printing samples typically cost USD 200 per style and take about 14 days. The sample fee can be refunded after a bulk order if the approved print artwork remains unchanged. Confirm the sample quotation and refund terms for your order.

What are the production lead times for custom cosmetic packaging?

Production using existing molds with custom colors or printing typically takes about 30 days after artwork and sample approval. Custom mold development typically takes about 45 days, followed by sample evaluation and approval. Bulk production then typically takes about 30 days. Final schedules depend on specifications, components, quantity, testing and the production plan. Shipping time is not included.

How do you check the quality and color of PCR cosmetic packaging?

We assess the PCR content, color and performance requirements for the selected bottle or pump component. PCR raw-material traceability documents are available for the applicable materials. Appearance and printing receive 100% inspection. Other checks, such as dimensions, sealing, dispensing output and compatibility, follow a product-specific sampling plan. The PCR percentage is confirmed for each component rather than applied to every packaging design.
