    Quick Answer

    Sourcing cosmetic packaging from China means buying bottles, jars, tubes, pumps, and cartons directly from verified factories at the true FOB price. Trade Entrust acts as your managed sourcing agent: we verify the real factory, confirm cosmetic-grade material declarations, run AQL 2.5 inspection before shipment, and arrange freight. Expect a $10,000 FOB order minimum, roughly 20–70 day lead times depending on tooling, and transparent fees — no hidden markup.

    What we source

    Cosmetic packaging categories

    From primary containers that touch product to the retail box on the shelf — sourced and matched as a complete unit.

    Skincare bottles & jars

    PET and glass dropper bottles, airless pump bottles, cream jars, and serum bottles with matched caps and inners.

    Cosmetic tubes

    PE/laminate squeeze tubes for lotions, cleansers, and BB creams — printed, matte, or metallised finishes.

    Makeup packaging

    Lipstick and lip gloss cases, compact powder cases, mascara tubes, and refillable palettes.

    Pumps, caps & closures

    Lotion pumps, treatment pumps, disc-top and flip-top caps, and dropper assemblies sourced to fit your neck size.

    Airless & droppers

    Airless bottles and jars for oxidation-sensitive actives, plus glass and PP dropper systems.

    Secondary & retail packaging

    Folding cartons, rigid gift boxes, inserts, and printed labels to complete the unit.

    Materials & certs

    The documentation that actually matters

    Primary packaging touches your formula, so material evidence is not optional. We confirm what a factory can genuinely prove — not a generic marketing claim.

    Cosmetic-grade resin declarations

    Food-grade or cosmetic-grade statements for PET, PP, PE, PCR, and PETG, with the specific resin identified rather than a vague 'safe plastic' claim.

    Migration & compatibility

    Where relevant, FDA-referenced or EU 10/2011-referenced material documentation and compatibility notes for your formula type.

    Coatings & decoration

    RoHS/REACH declarations for inks, coatings, and metallised finishes, plus confirmation that decoration survives fill and transit.

    PCR & sustainability

    Verified post-consumer recycled content percentages when you need them — honestly stated, since real PCR affects colour and price.

    A note on honesty: certification requirements depend on your destination market and product contact. We tell you what a factory can evidence for your specific SKU — and flag where a claim can't be backed by paperwork.

    The commercial detail

    QC, MOQ, lead time & freight

    Real ranges, hedged where they should be — so you can plan a launch without surprises.

    Quality control (AQL 2.5)

    • Dimensional checks against your drawings and approved samples
    • Neck/thread fit between bottle, jar, pump, and cap
    • Leak and function tests on pumps, droppers, and closures
    • Print registration and colour matched to an approved standard
    • Cosmetic defect grading — scratches, flow marks, contamination

    Inspection happens at the factory before shipment, so defects are caught before they cross an ocean.

    MOQ & order size

    • Stock components often start at ~3,000–10,000 units each
    • Custom moulds or bespoke print typically need 10,000–50,000 units
    • Trade Entrust works to a $10,000 FOB order minimum overall
    • Combine bottles, caps, and cartons to reach the minimum sensibly

    Lead time

    • Stock components with your labelling: roughly 20–35 days
    • Custom moulds add tooling: first production ~45–70 days
    • Peak season and decoration complexity can extend timelines
    • We confirm dates against the actual factory schedule first

    Freight & consolidation

    • Sea freight for full pallet or container volumes
    • Air or express for samples, launches, and urgent top-ups
    • Consolidation of multiple factories into one shipment
    • Guangzhou operations hub coordinates pickup and QC
    Transparent fees: a project initiation fee of $300–$1,500, roughly 1.5–2% operations, and a 2–8% commission — no hidden factory markup. See the full pricing & commission breakdown, our quality control inspection process, or how a China sourcing agent works.

    Beauty packaging sourcing — FAQ

    Factory MOQs for stock cosmetic packaging often start around 3,000–10,000 units per component, while custom moulds or bespoke printing usually push minimums to 10,000–50,000 units. Trade Entrust works to a $10,000 FOB order minimum overall, which you can reach by combining several components (bottles, caps, cartons) into one consolidated order rather than hitting a huge count on a single item.
