Packaging for cosmetics and personal care

Personal care packaging carries a double burden: it has to feel premium on a shelf and survive a compliance review for what touches the body and what the consumer throws away. We quote the print and the material together, since the material is what your recyclability statement is about.

What we supply

• Folding cartons and rigid-style gift boxes with foil, emboss and soft-touch finishes
• PET bottles and jars with matching caps, pumps and sprayers, including rPET options
• Stand-up and refill pouches, wet-wipes packs with reclose systems
• Shrink sleeves and labelled containers for full-body branding
• Moulded pulp or paper inserts for sets and gift packaging
• Paper and laminate secondary packaging for retail and e-commerce

Premium finishing and material honesty

• Foil, emboss, spot UV, soft-touch laminate, magnetic closures and ribbon options
• Material choice documented, including where the recyclability limit sits — a foil-stamped carton and a metallised label behave differently in a collection stream
• Refill and mono-material formats for brands working toward retail packaging targets
• Samples for touch and print evaluation before a range is committed

Working with brand compliance teams

Cosmetics brands often have their own restricted-substance lists, retail packaging targets and artwork standards. Send them at quotation stage: it is faster to specify the material and ink system against your restrictions than to replace a print run afterwards. Where a brand list is stricter than the EU framework, we follow the stricter one.
