In the competitive beauty industry, your product's packaging is its first salesperson. Whether you are launching a new line of lip glosses or scaling up your eyeshadow collection, choosing the right packaging manufacturer (OEM/ODM) is a critical strategic decision.

At Shantou Like Plastic Co., Ltd, we understand that B2B buyers—from indie brand founders to procurement managers—need more than just a supplier; they need a partner. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about customizing cosmetic packaging with us, from material science to mass production logistics.

2. Material Matters: Choosing the Right Plastic

Selecting the right material is vital for product stability and safety. We offer expert guidance on materials based on your specific formula:

• ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene): Our go-to for main bodies and shells. It offers excellent impact resistance and holds color vibrancy well.
• AS, PS, & PETG: The superior choices for transparency. These materials provide a glass-like finish without the fragility—perfect for showcasing shades.
• PP & PE: Used for functional components like applicator wands and wiper inserts to ensure chemical resistance and precise dosage control.

3. Mastering the Art of Surface Finishing

How your product feels in the hand is just as important as how it looks. We offer a comprehensive suite of surface treatments to match your brand's positioning:

• Injection Color: Custom Pantone matching for the base material.
• Matte Finish: A soft-touch spray coating that exudes modern luxury.
• UV Coating: A high-gloss protective layer for a premium look.
• Metallization: Available in both Metallic Matte and Metallic Glossy for a high-end, heavy-metal aesthetic using lightweight plastic.

Your logo is your signature. We provide multiple printing technologies to ensure it stands out:

• Silk Screen Printing: Ideal for bold, solid colors and clean lines.
