Sounds familiar?
01
The pack you love comes with a minimum order you can't afford.
02
Your pump doesn't play well with your formula's texture.
03
Supplier samples all look the same and you don't know what to ask.
04
You're about to order packaging before the formula is final.
Cosmetic packaging development is where the formula, the customer and your budget meet, and it’s a technical job before it’s a design job. Skincare packaging design services make the pack look right; we make sure it works.
Packaging decisions usually get made on looks and MOQs, and then the formula turns out to be too thick for the pump, the airless bottle leaves a third of the product behind, or the tube material reacts with an active.
We look at the pack from the formula side and the customer side at the same time, and we help you find something that makes sense at the quantity you can actually order.
A good fit if

Not the right fit if

Questions, answered.
How do I choose packaging for a skincare product?
Start with the formula: its viscosity, sensitivity to air and light, and active ingredients. Then look at how customers will use it, where it's sold and how many units you can order. The right pack meets all of those. The moodboard comes after.
Do you design the label artwork?
Label and graphic design sit under Branding. This service covers the structural and technical choice of pack.
What's the difference between an airless pump and a regular pump?
A regular pump draws product up a dip tube and lets air into the bottle as it empties. An airless pump pushes product up with a piston or inner bag and keeps air out, which helps protect sensitive formulas, though it can struggle with very thick or very thin textures.
What is an MOQ in packaging?
MOQ stands for minimum order quantity: the smallest number of units a supplier will produce. Custom colours, decoration and new moulds usually raise it, while stock components keep it lower.
When should I choose packaging?
Early, alongside the formula. The pack affects texture, preservation and stability, so choosing it after the formula is final often means testing again.
Do you source packaging for us?
We introduce you to suppliers from our packaging network and handle the technical side with them, so the components work with your formula.
Can you help with low minimum orders?
Yes. Through our affiliated contract manufacturers we can get production runs starting at 500 units.
Pick the pack once. Pick it right.
