Cosmetic Packaging
Cosmetics & skincare packaging covers flexible formats for creams, serums, liquids, masks and samples. The buyer has to make three decisions: barrier, closure and size. Barrier depends on whether the formula is oil-based or water-based and how sensitive it is to oxygen and moisture. Closure depends on how the product is used: a spout for refills and liquids, a zipper for masks and solids, a flat pouch for single-use samples. Material is the fourth decision, with recyclable PE and PP mono-material, compostable options, kraft paper, or foil and metallised laminates for high protection.

Cosmetic Packaging — frequently asked
What is the minimum order quantity?
Digital printing starts at 100 pcs for pouches and bags, or 10 kg for rollstock film. Rotogravure starts at 10,000 pcs or 200 kg of film. If you are below those numbers, a printed label on stock unprinted packaging is another route.
Which material should I choose for a serum or cream?
It depends on the formula. Oil-based and water-based products have different barrier needs. Recyclable PE and PP mono-material, compostable, kraft paper, and foil or metallised laminates are all available. Tell us the fill weight and whether the product is sensitive to oxygen or moisture, and we will confirm the material.
How long is production?
Digital printing is 10-15 working days and rotogravure is 20-25 working days, both counted from artwork approval. Shipping is by air or sea from Foshan, Guangdong, China, and DDP is available.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes. Stock samples are free and you cover the courier only. If you need a printed sample, send the artwork and we will confirm timing and cost with the quote.
What types of custom packaging does Clover offer?
We produce the full range of flexible packaging: flat bottom pouches, stand up pouches, flat pouches, spout pouches, side gusset bags, rollstock film and special shaped bags — in recyclable, compostable and conventional laminates.
Can I get a prototype or sample before placing a bulk order?
Yes. Digital printed samples and physical prototypes are available so you can check material, barrier and finish before committing to a production run. Free stock samples ship within a few days.
