Product range

Colour Cosmetics

Cushion cases, eyeshadow compacts, lipstick and lip-colour shells, powder containers. Decoration is where this category is won or lost — finish, texture and print consistency are what a shopper actually touches.

Formats in this range

Typical formats and what each one is used for. Capacities and dimensions are agreed against your brief.

Cushion cases

Two-part cases requiring tight fit between base and lid. Alignment across the seam is visible on the shelf and is a common cause of returns.

Eyeshadow compacts

Thin pans and hinged compacts. Hinge geometry and pan concentricity drive the perceived quality.

Lipstick and lip-colour shells

Small mechanisms with a sleeve that must run smoothly. Component fit determines whether the mechanism feels right in the hand.

Powder containers

Threaded closures where the thread must engage without binding. Decoration on a curved thread region is a known constraint.

Specification notes

ItemPractical position
ToolingCustomer-specific tooling is developed in-house and belongs to the customer. Not produced for third parties.
Minimum orderDepends on format and whether tooling exists. Existing tools can start from the low thousands; new tooling is a separate one-time cost plus a volume commitment.
SamplingOff-tool samples from existing tooling, or new tooling followed by first-article approval before production.
DecorationUV vacuum metallizing, spray, silk-screen, hot stamping, laser engraving, pad printing, 3D printing and assembly available in-house.
MaterialsPP, PE, ABS, PMMA, SAN, PET, PCT, LLDPE and zinc alloy, selected against the formula and filling process.
Approval gateNothing enters production without first-article approval on physical parts.
Lead timeQuoted per order. We do not publish a single generic figure because tooling and decoration change it.

Questions about colour cosmetics

What formats are in the colour cosmetics range?
The common formats for this range are listed above with their typical use. Where a project needs a format not listed, send a drawing or a reference sample — new tooling is normal rather than exceptional.
Which materials do you use for colour cosmetics?
PP, PE, ABS, PMMA, SAN, PET and PCT are typical, with zinc alloy for metal components and LLDPE for closures. The grade is chosen against your formula, filling process and decoration route, and we state which one and why.
Can colour cosmetics components be decorated?
Yes. UV vacuum metallizing, spray, silk-screen, hot stamping, laser engraving, pad printing and 3D printing are all available in-house, including assembly into pack-ready components.
What is the minimum order quantity?
MOQ depends on format and whether tooling exists. Existing tooling can often start from a first order in the low thousands; new tooling is a separate one-time cost plus a volume commitment. Send the format and forecast for a real figure.
How long does sampling take?
Off-tool samples are quickest. New tooling requires the tool build and then first-article approval before production. We quote sample lead time per project rather than publishing a single number.
Can you match a competitor's sample?
We can match a sample in function and visual intent, and propose a specification for it. We do not reproduce protected design — where the match would infringe, we will say so and propose an alternative route.
