Our Custom Cosmetic Packaging Development Process
1. Packaging Concept Design
Clients provide AI-generated images, sketches, reference samples, or 3D files. Our engineering team evaluates structural feasibility, production cost, and material compatibility, then optimizes the design for manufacturing.
2. 3D Engineering Design
Detailed 3D structural model including dimensions, wall thickness, assembly, mold opening direction, and component compatibility to ensure perfect match with formulas.
3. Prototype Development
Before mold production, we create prototypes via 3D printing, CNC, or rapid prototyping. Evaluate appearance, function, and filling compatibility. Prototype costs typically range $200 – $1,000 depending on complexity.
4. Mold Manufacturing
After design approval, mold production begins. Lead time: 25 – 45 days. Includes CNC machining, polishing, testing, and injection trials.
5. Packaging Production
Mass production: injection molding, bottle forming, electroplating, UV coating, silk screen, hot stamping — all in-house.
Cosmetic Packaging Mold Cost Guide
How much does it cost to develop custom cosmetic packaging?
Cost depends on: 1. structure complexity, 2. cavity quantity, 3. steel material, 4. surface finish, 5. number of components.
| Packaging Component | Estimated Mold Cost |
|---|---|
| Lip gloss tube mold | $7,000 – $10,000 |
| Lipstick case mold | $12,000 – $25,000 |
| Mascara bottle mold | $10,000 – $20,000 |
| Double wall cap mold | $14,000 – $20,000 |
| Pump actuator mold | $15,000 – $20,000 |
| Glass bottle mold | $5,000 – $8,000 |
Because cosmetic packaging usually consists of multiple parts, several molds may be required. For a custom lip gloss packaging system (bottle, cap, wiper, applicator rod, brush head) total mold investment ranges $15,000 – $50,000+, depending on complexity.
When Should You Develop Private Mold Packaging?
- ✔Your brand wants unique packaging
- ✔Expected sales volume is high (50k–100k units/year)
- ✔Long-term product production
- ✔Build a strong brand identity
Many brands consider custom molds when annual production exceeds 50,000 – 100,000 units — tooling becomes economically viable.
Alternative: Custom Packaging Without Mold
For startups, we offer low MOQ packaging customization on existing packaging:
- ✔Custom colors, electroplating
- ✔Gradient / UV coating
- ✔Silk screen, hot stamping
Launch faster with lower investment.
