Packaging

Formula, Packaging, Production.
One Team. One Roof.

Most brands line up a manufacturer, then go find a packaging supplier, then hope the two agree. We do both. Packaging and raw materials sourcing is a step in your production project — not a separate vendor you have to manage.

Where Packaging Fits in Your Project

Whether you're developing a formula from scratch or bringing us one you already own, packaging is handled in the same project by the same team.

1

Formula

Developed with our chemists, or reverse engineered from a product you already sell.

2

Packaging

Components sourced and spec'd against your formula, with decoration and compliant labeling.

You are here
3

Production

Manufactured and filled in our FDA registered facility, with quality control on every batch.

4

Finished Goods

Packaged product ready for retail or DTC, with regular updates on where your order stands.

Why It Matters

What Changes When One Team Handles Both

Splitting packaging away from manufacturing creates gaps. Here's what those gaps cost, and what we do instead:

01

Compatibility Gets Checked

Split Across Vendors Your packaging supplier doesn't know your formula. Nobody confirms the liner survives your actives or the pump moves your viscosity until the pallet is already paid for.
Under One Roof We know what's in the bottle because we made it, so components get reviewed against your formula and our filling equipment before a purchase order goes out.
02

Questions Get Answered in One Place

Split Across Vendors A question about how a component behaves with your formula means relaying messages between a supplier and a manufacturer who've never spoken.
Under One Roof The people sourcing your components and the people filling them are the same team. You ask once, and you're not the one carrying information between vendors.
03

One Timeline, Not Three

Split Across Vendors Components land weeks after the formula is ready, or the other way round. Coordinating separate lead times becomes your job.
Under One Roof Packaging lead times are planned alongside production from the start, and we'll tell you upfront which components typically move fast and which don't.
How It Works

How We Handle Packaging on Your Project

You don't need to know what a 24-410 neck finish is. That's our job — here's what happens on your behalf once your project is underway.

1

We Start From the Formula

Viscosity, pH, actives, and essential oil load rule components in or out before aesthetics enter the conversation. If your formula is already with us, we pull the specs ourselves.

Compatibility first. Everything else is preference.
2

You See Viable Options, Not a Catalog Dump

We come back with a handful of components that work in your fill size and budget, and explain the trade-offs between them — stock versus custom, cost versus shelf presence.

Your product is unique — your packaging should be too.
3

We Review the Spec Before Ordering

Closure matched to neck finish, liner reviewed against your pH, component checked to run on our filling equipment at your volume. We'll flag anything that looks like it needs a child-resistant or tamper-evident closure.

The spec gets reviewed before the purchase order goes out.
4

We Source Packaging & Raw Materials

Bottles, jars, tubes, closures, cartons, and liners all come through our supplier relationships. If you want to upgrade from generic packaging, we can help you source custom options that reflect your brand.

One relationship, not six vendors.
5

Decoration & Compliant Labeling

Screen print, hot stamp, pressure-sensitive labels, or shrink sleeves — each carries a different cost and minimum. We match the method to your component and handle MoCRA compliance so you don't have to think about it.

Compliant labeling on the first run, not the second.
Stock or Custom

Two Ways to Package Your Product

Most brands start with stock and move to custom once volume justifies the tooling. We'll be straight with you about which one fits where you are.

Stock Packaging

Best for: first launches and line extensions

  • Available now — no tooling charges, no mold development
  • Lowest cost per unit and lowest risk if the product changes
  • Decoration, color, and finish still make it yours
  • Easy to reorder and scale as volume grows

Custom Packaging

Best for: proven volume and a shelf presence to defend

  • A container that's yours alone — no other brand can order it
  • Structural details built around your product and how it's used
  • Full control of material, finish, and closure system
  • Carries tooling costs, higher minimums, and longer lead times

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Have more questions? Visit our full FAQ page.

Included. Packaging and raw materials sourcing is a step in our manufacturing process, not a separate engagement or a separate fee. We source and spec packaging for products we fill.
Yes. Send us a sample of the component and our equipment engineers will verify it's compatible with our filling equipment before anything is scheduled. Catching an issue at the sample stage is far cheaper than catching it mid-run.
Both. If you want to upgrade from generic packaging, we can help you source custom options that reflect your brand. Custom molds carry tooling costs, higher minimums, and longer lead times — we'll give you those numbers before you commit to a direction.
No. High essential oil loads can degrade certain plastics, low-pH actives can react with some liners, and thick products won't dispense through a treatment pump. We start from what's in the bottle and work outward.
Often, yes. Many components that look proprietary are stock parts available to anyone, just decorated well. Send us a photo or a sample and we'll tell you whether it's stock, close to stock, or genuinely custom tooling — that answer alone changes what a project costs.
Yes — screen printing, hot stamping, pressure-sensitive labels, and shrink sleeves. The right one depends on your component, quantity, and budget. We also make sure your label carries what MoCRA requires so you're not reprinting after the first run.
