Private Label Skincare Packaging Options

Beauty Branding Lab offers three private label packaging tiers — stock packaging from 25 units per SKU, airless packaging from 100 units and premium packaging from 100 units — plus expanded custom sourcing as production volumes increase.

What packaging options does Beauty Branding Lab offer?

Beauty Branding Lab offers stock, airless and premium private label packaging pathways, with expanded custom sourcing available as production volumes increase.

Each tier includes private labeling. The progression adds presentation flexibility, component choice, production commitment and brand differentiation — it does not mean stock packaging is a lower-quality option.

Tier 1 — stock packaging: 25+ units per SKU, eligible in-stock components, fastest path to market.
Tier 2 — airless packaging: 100+ units per SKU, elevated dispensing presentation.
Tier 3 — premium packaging: 100+ units per SKU, stronger retail differentiation.
Expanded custom sourcing: generally 500+ units, evaluated per component and per project.

Screen printing is available on qualifying components and typically begins at approximately 1,000 units.

Eligible stock packaging, private labeling and a first production run with lower inventory exposure.
Grow
100+ units
Airless and premium packaging pathways for elevated presentation and broader retail visibility.
Expand
500+ units
