Cosmetic Packaging

Cosmetic Packaging refers to containers and accompanying materials used to contain, protect, display, and transport cosmetics (such as skincare products, color cosmetics, perfumes, etc.). It typically includes primary packaging (bottles, jars, tubes, pump heads, etc. that directly contact the contents) and secondary packaging (outer boxes, labels, instructions, etc.), and sometimes also involves transport packaging (cartons, pallets). In foreign trade, this term commonly appears in procurement contracts, product specifications, customs declarations, and logistics documents. Usage scenarios include: requesting packaging solutions from suppliers, confirming whether packaging materials comply with import country regulations (such as FDA, EU 1223/2009), discussing packaging design to enhance shelf appeal, and calculating the impact of packaging costs on the total price. Notes: Different markets have environmental requirements for packaging materials (such as recyclable, biodegradable), and compatibility with contents, sealing performance, and transport resistance must be considered; in addition, text markings on packaging must comply with the destination country's labeling regulations. Compared with ordinary 'packaging', cosmetic packaging emphasizes aesthetics, safety, and regulatory compliance, and often involves customized design. The difference from 'transport packaging' is that the former focuses on the sales unit, while the latter focuses on logistics protection.
