Ultimate Guide To MetaCNBeauty Cosmetic Private Label Minimum Order Quantity In 2023

There are 2 options of MOQ in MetaCNBeauty private label cosmetics

You should understand that producing private-label cosmetics can be complex, involving various procedures and collaborations with different material factories. Normally, cosmetics factories require a minimum order of 12,000 PCS for private label cosmetics, as they need to purchase the empty tube/bottle/powder packaging from other suppliers, who also have a minimum order quantity of 12,000 PCS each, and sometimes even 20,000 PCS for larger companies.

However, we want to support small businesses who are interested in creating their own cosmetic brand. so we have acquired some empty tube/bottle stock in our warehouse so that can reduce your initial cost to start your brand.

That is why we are able to offer two types of minimum order quantity options.

Kindly review the information provided below to compare the differences.

The first option is a minimum order of 12000 PCS per product, which allows for fully customized service to ensure your product is unique and innovative in the market. We can customize the makeup formula, color, packaging, and even the packing boxes to your specific needs. If the quality of the makeup formula is not what you desire, we can modify it based on your feedback. We can also customize the makeup color to any Pantone color or your own color sample. Additionally, we can customize the empty tube/bottle/component packaging to your own design, and create customized paper boxes, display boxes, white boxes, and more.

For instance:

Once you have chosen the product you wish to develop, we will provide you with the print area to design the tube and packaging.

The second option is for some products that we have in stock and can accept small orders(starting from as low as 100PCS/type). Although the makeup product texture cannot be customized too much, we can still print your logo on the tube/bottle and fully customize the paper box packing to any color or information you prefer.

For instance :

If you opt for our small order quantity option, your logo can be printed on the tube packaging. The outer paper box can be fully customized according to your preferences. You can design anything you want within the given print area, including custom colors, pictures, and patterns. Alternatively, we can assist you with the design process.

We are committed to helping you create your own cosmetic brand, and we are happy to offer these options to meet your needs.

Makeup Formulation: This refers to the content used for eyes, lips, and face. Normally, we quote based on standard quality. During the sample-making process, our engineers can use raw materials ranging from tens to hundreds of dollars. However, it's important to note that cosmetics regulations may differ across countries. This means that certain ingredients allowed in Europe may be prohibited in the USA, requiring the use of alternative, more expensive ingredients with similar effects.

Existing mature formulas: We can send you our makeup test samples for your evaluation, and the makeup formula can be updated based on your feedback. Ⅱ. Customer-provided quality sample: Our engineers can replicate the formula of famous brand goods if you can provide a sample. Ⅲ. Customized formula: We can create a formula tailored to your specific requirements.

There are various types of packaging for different cosmetic products, such as containers, bottles, tubes, aerosols, and jars. These can be made from different materials like plastics (PET, PP, PE), glass, metals, paper, or wood. The complexity of the packaging, such as pumps or intricate designs, also affects the price. Additionally, if you require a unique design that differs in size or structure from our existing products, there may be a mold cost ranging from $5,000 to $50,000, depending on the design and size.

Please note that the following information is intended for customers who require customized orders with a minimum quantity of 12,000 pcs and above.

Before placing an order, it is understandable that you would like to review a sample. We are pleased to send you samples, but there is a sample cost involved.

Sample Cost: Starting from $100 USD (includes international delivery cost). This amount can be returned to you or used as a deposit for your order once it is placed.
Sample Time: 7-12 days
Additionally ,for small batch order (lower MOQ) that you can buy a sample online directly

You may believe that samples should be provided for free by the factory to demonstrate their commitment to earning your business.

In the past, we offered free samples to potential clients. However, our experience showed that free samples were often undervalued. We sent out numerous samples but rarely received feedback or follow-up orders. Many people requested samples out of curiosity, with no genuine intent to pursue a business relationship.

As a result, we’ve decided to take a more focused approach. We now require clients to pay for samples. This policy helps us identify and prioritize those who are serious about collaborating with us.

Starting a business requires investment, and we believe that entrepreneurs who are truly committed to building their business understand the value of this small expense. It’s a natural step in overcoming the barriers to entry that exist in any industry.

By investing in a paid sample, you’re not only showing your seriousness but also taking a meaningful step toward a fruitful partnership. We’re confident that this approach ensures mutual respect and better outcomes for everyone involved.

Private label cosmetics packaging plays a crucial role in capturing the attention of consumers and establishing a strong brand presence. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the primary and secondary packaging options available, along with various customization and printing services, to help you make informed decisions for your private label cosmetics.

Primary Package: Ensuring Product Integrity

The primary package is the immediate packaging that comes into direct contact with the cosmetic product. It serves as the first layer of protection and is responsible for preserving the product's integrity. Common examples of primary packaging for cosmetics include bottles, jars, tubes, and compacts.

Enhancing the Visual Appeal with Print Methods

To enhance the visual appeal of the primary package, several print methods can be employed. These methods add a touch of creativity and uniqueness to your packaging, making it stand out from competitors. Here are some popular options:

1. Labeling: Adhesive labels with custom designs and product information can be applied directly onto the primary package. This method allows for easy customization and provides valuable information to consumers.

2. Screen Printing: By using a mesh screen, ink can be transferred onto the surface of the primary package, resulting in precise and vibrant designs. Screen printing offers versatility and is suitable for various packaging materials.

3. Hot Stamping: This technique involves applying metallic foil or pigmented film onto the package using heat and pressure. Hot stamping creates a shiny and luxurious effect, elevating the overall visual appeal of the product.

Secondary Package: Additional Protection and Branding Opportunities

The secondary package refers to the outer packaging that holds the primary package and provides additional protection during transportation and storage. It also presents valuable branding opportunities and serves as a means of capturing consumers' attention.

Leveraging Print Methods for Secondary Packaging

Similar to the primary package, the secondary package can also be enhanced with various print methods. By incorporating these methods, you can reinforce your brand identity and create a memorable unboxing experience. Consider the following options:

1. Color Box Packaging: Utilize a colorful and visually appealing box to hold the primary package. This approach not only provides protection but also creates a strong brand presence on retail shelves.

2. Display Box Packaging: Design an eye-catching box that showcases the product attractively when placed on store shelves or counters. This method entices potential customers and encourages them to engage with your product.

3. Blister Card Packaging: Use a transparent blister card with a printed backing to display the product while providing necessary information. Blister card packaging offers a clear view of the product, ensuring its visibility to consumers.

4. White Box Packaging: Opt for a clean and minimalist white box that can be easily customized with labels or other forms of printing. This versatile option allows for flexibility in design while maintaining a sleek and sophisticated look.

Choosing the Perfect Packaging for Your Private Label Cosmetics

Selecting the right packaging for your private label cosmetics requires careful consideration of your sales channels and target market. It's essential to align your packaging choices with your distribution strategy and brand positioning. Consider the following factors:

1. Sales Channels: Determine whether you will primarily sell your products online or in physical stores. This knowledge will guide you in selecting packaging that best suits your chosen sales channels.

2. Target Market: Identify whether your target market consists of small boutiques or large retailers. Understanding your market will help you tailor your packaging to meet their expectations and preferences.
