What types of cosmetic packaging can you finish?
We finish a comprehensive range of cosmetic packaging components including caps, closures, collars, flip tops, toggle caps, deodorant caps, compact latches, perfume bottles, fragrance jars, cream containers, and glass bottles. Our processes work on plastic substrates (ABS, Polypropylene, PC/ABS, engineering grades), metal components, and glass surfaces. We specialize in both miniature complex parts and larger bottles, handling everything from color cosmetics and skincare to fragrance packaging with finishes ranging from mirror chrome to custom metallic colors.
Which major cosmetic brands do you work with?
We maintain approved supplier status with industry leaders including Estée Lauder, L'Oreal, Avon, and Elizabeth Arden. Our client portfolio also includes Victoria's Secret, Clinique, Tommy, and Coach. We've delivered award-winning finishes such as the 2011 Finish of the Year for Elizabeth Arden's Viva La Juicy Bottle. With over 25 years serving the cosmetic industry, we've established ourselves as the only reputable domestic source for premium packaging finishes, trusted by both global conglomerates and emerging beauty brands.
What finish options are available for cosmetic packaging?
We offer over 30 different finishes including mirror chrome, 24K/18K/14K gold plating, silver, rose gold, copper, white bronze, hematite, brushed stainless, satin nickel, antique finishes, transparent metallics, and custom color tints. Our UV coating systems provide super-hard, scratch-resistant topcoats in various colors. For glass, we offer mirror, transparent, antique treatments, and our exclusive Crackle finish. All finishes feature superior adhesion, fragrance resistance, and can be customized to match your brand's exact specifications with precision color matching.
How quickly can you turn around cosmetic packaging projects?
We deliver industry-leading turnaround times, moving parts from sampling to production in half the normal lead times. Our in-house custom tooling design and build capability eliminates external dependencies, while our 24-5 operations across 200,000+ sq.ft. ensure continuous production flow. We offer free sampling services for most customers and applications, with our separate tooling division adding capacity and efficiency. For high-volume production runs, we process over one million parts per week while running 20+ different jobs simultaneously, ensuring your launch timelines are met.
Can you handle difficult-to-finish materials like polypropylene?
Yes, we have 60 years of experience handling difficult-to-metallize materials including PP (Polypropylene) and HDPE. Our advanced pre-treatment techniques ensure superior coating adhesion on challenging substrates. We've developed proprietary plasma treatment for adhesion promotion on materials like polycarbonate while maintaining proper flex and springback. Our systems handle engineering grades of plastic such as Ultem, Nylon, and LCP with the same European quality standards we apply to standard ABS materials, delivering flawless adhesion without weakening or embrittling parts.
Are your finishes compliant with cosmetic industry regulations?
Yes, all our finishes meet or exceed cosmetic industry standards. We offer ROHS-compliant metallizing for markets requiring environmental compliance. Our proprietary UV topcoats are fragrance-resistant and scratch-resistant, specifically engineered for cosmetic applications where products contact sensitive formulations. Our electroplating and metallizing systems are approved by major global brands after rigorous testing. We maintain the highest quality standards with finishes that withstand bulk packaging, assembly processes, and consumer use while protecting the integrity of cosmetic products throughout their lifecycle.
What is your production capacity for high-volume cosmetic orders?
Our 200,000+ sq.ft. facility processes over one million parts per week with the capability to run more than 20 different jobs simultaneously. We operate on a 24-5 schedule, handling trailer loads of material daily with amazingly fast turnaround. Our flexible high-volume manufacturing system accommodates everything from masstige products requiring cost efficiency to premium luxury packaging demanding jewelry-quality finishes. Whether you need 10,000 units or 10 million, our world-class environment and automated systems deliver consistent quality at production speeds unmatched in the domestic market.
Do you offer custom color matching and specialty finishes?
Absolutely. Our color matching capabilities allow us to precisely replicate any metallic tone from standard gold and silver to custom rose gold, copper, gun metal, and specialty designer colors. We provide transparent metallics, antique treatments, and innovative finishes like our exclusive Crackle effect with random crystalline patterns. Our UV coating systems enable tinting to achieve exact brand colors while our precision laser removal creates highly detailed artwork on metallized surfaces. We work closely with designers to match their vision, offering sampling services to perfect every detail before production.
