Cosmetic Packaging Applications

Lotion Bottle Manufacturer
for Custom Packaging

Fomalhaut manufactures empty lotion bottles for skincare brands and contract fillers. Work directly with our factory to customize an existing bottle design. For a new bottle or component, we review technical feasibility before developing samples.

Customize an Existing Bottle Design

Customize the bottle, pump or cap color, surface finish and printing on an existing bottle design. Decoration and matching paper packaging options depend on the material, shape, components, artwork and order requirements.

    Spray Coating

    Choose a bottle color to match your brand, using a coating suited to the bottle material.

  • Illustration of a green lotion pump bottle with white screen-printed lettering

    Silk Screen Printing

    Print your logo or product text directly on the bottle. We review the print position to suit the bottle shape.

    Frosted Finish

    Explore a softer, translucent finish and check its appearance on a sample of your selected bottle.

  • Illustration of a burgundy lotion pump bottle with gold foil-style lettering

    Hot Stamping

    Add metallic foil to your logo or decorative details. Suitability depends on the bottle surface and artwork.

  • Typical MOQ: 10,000 pieces (negotiable) for color customization and printing on existing bottle designs. Final MOQ depends on the bottle, material, decoration, components and order requirements.
  • Custom spray-coated or printed samples: typically USD 200 per style, with a sample lead time of about 14 days. The sample fee can be refunded after a bulk order if the approved print artwork remains unchanged; we confirm sample pricing and refund terms for each order.
  • Production lead time: typically about 30 days after artwork and sample approval for color customization or printing using existing molds. Final timing depends on the approved specifications, components, quantity, testing and production schedule. Shipping time is additional.

Develop a New Bottle
or Component

For a new bottle shape or plastic component, we review your design references or drawings to assess technical feasibility before developing samples. New-mold development covers glass bottles, plastic bottles and plastic components.

Typical MOQs for new-mold orders:

  • Plastic: 10,000 pieces (negotiable).
  • Glass: 30,000 pieces (negotiable).

Final MOQ depends on the design, material, decoration, components and order requirements.

Mold development typically takes about 45 days, followed by about 30 days for bulk production after sample approval.

The final timeline depends on specifications, components, order quantity, testing and the production schedule. Shipping time is additional.

The pricing, timing and refund terms for custom spray-coated or printed samples above do not apply to new-mold development samples.

Quality Checks for Bottles and Pumps

Appearance and printing

We carry out 100% inspection of appearance and printing; the other checks follow the sampling plan.

Sampling Inspections for Bottles and Pumps

Sampling inspections cover dimensions, sealing, dispensing output, fill capacity and compatibility for the selected bottle and pump.

Dimensions & capacity
Checks of bottle dimensions and fill capacity.
Sealing & compatibility
Room-temperature and high-temperature sealing-pressure tests, with compatibility checks based on product requirements.
Dispensing output
Checks of the amount dispensed per pump press.
Print adhesion
3M tape testing to assess print adhesion. This test follows the sampling plan.

Drop tests and cap pull-off force checks can also be included, depending on the product and project requirements.

We select the tests based on the product and your requirements, including how your formulation affects dispensing and compatibility.
