01

Bottles, jars and dispensing components

Start with the fill size, formula requirements and intended use, then define the bottle or jar, pump, closure or tube. Your laboratory or filler evaluates component compatibility and performance; Link coordinates the packaging information and samples.

02

Cartons, rigid boxes and skincare sets

Match the outer package to the approved container dimensions and the way the product will be presented. Folding cartons, rigid boxes and inserts can be coordinated around an individual item or a multi-product beauty set.

03

Samples through delivery

Define the specifications, review samples and approve the production standard. Agreed inspection checkpoints and delivery requirements stay part of the same project.

Choose the right project path

Packaging and formulation are two different approvals.

A private-label skincare project often involves both a laboratory or filler and a packaging partner. Define each responsibility before requesting samples so the packaging brief matches the actual fill process.

Your laboratory or filler

Owns formulation, filling, compatibility, sealing and filling-line approval. Ask that team for the fill volume and packaging-performance requirements that affect the container and closure.

Your packaging brief

Defines the bottle or jar, pump or closure, decoration, carton or rigid box, quantity by item, artwork status and delivery destination. Link coordinates samples, production oversight and delivery around the confirmed brief.

Already have a formula partner? Share its component requirements or a reference package. Still choosing one? Use the brief to separate packaging questions from formulation and filling questions.

How we work

From requirement to delivered result.

  1. Understand the product category, fill process, packaging and brand requirements.
  2. Coordinate component, structure and artwork requirements with your laboratory or filler.
  3. Provide samples and available component information for evaluation and approval by your team, laboratory or filler.
  4. Coordinate production oversight, agreed inspection checkpoints and delivery to the laboratory or required destination.

Common questions

What clients want to know.

Do I need a packaging partner or a cosmetic laboratory?

For a private-label or contract-filled product, separate the packaging brief from the formulation and filling work. Link coordinates bottles, jars, pumps, closures, cartons and rigid boxes around your requirements. Keep formulation and filling with your laboratory or filler, including approval of product compatibility, sealing and filling-line performance. Share that team’s packaging requirements so components and samples can be coordinated before production.

How should we choose bottles, jars, pumps or closures for skincare packaging?

Begin with the intended fill volume, how the product will be used, and the requirements supplied by your laboratory or filler. Include a reference component or dimensions, the desired dispensing action and decoration. Evaluate the complete container-and-closure combination with the actual product before approving production; appearance alone does not establish compatibility, sealing or dispensing performance.

Do we need primary packaging, secondary packaging or both?

Primary packaging is the bottle, jar, tube or other component that contains the product. Secondary packaging is the outer carton, rigid box or presentation set. Start with approved primary-component dimensions before finalizing the outer structure or insert. If your laboratory already supplies the filled container, share its specifications so Link can scope the outer packaging separately rather than duplicate components you already have.

Can Link coordinate with our laboratory?

Yes. Link can collect packaging requirements, provide samples and available component information, and coordinate delivery with your laboratory or filler. Your laboratory or filler remains responsible for compatibility, sealing and filling-line testing and approval before production.

Do you provide graphic design or branding?

Branding is not a core Link service. We can coordinate with your designer, provide dielines and support artwork preparation for production.

Can you support a new beauty brand?

Yes. Link works with both developing and established brands and can help a new company navigate packaging, sampling and production decisions.

What should I prepare before starting a beauty packaging project?

Send your product category and fill size, component or package dimensions if known, reference photos or samples, quantity per item, decoration requirements, delivery location and target date. Include your laboratory or filler’s packaging requirements when available. Missing details can be clarified before a quotation is finalized; an early concept is enough to start the conversation.

What minimum quantity and lead time should I expect?

Minimum quantities and timing depend on the component, material, decoration, tooling and order size. Share your requirements so Link can confirm the applicable quantity, sample stages, production timing and delivery basis for your project. A target date is a planning input, not a confirmed delivery commitment.
