Custom Color Solutions for Cosmetic Packaging

Customization | Color Development

Through our custom color cosmetic packaging process, we help brands translate color concepts into production-ready cosmetic packaging. Our end-to-end cosmetic packaging service also covers surface finishing and logo printing, allowing brands to create packaging that is unique and aligned with their brand identity.

1.Custom Color Development

Colors can be customized through different starting points.Wesupport flexible color development approaches to achieve your desired visual result while ensuring production feasibility and consistency.
Pantone-Based Matching
This is recommended for the highest level of consistency. Pantone is a globally standardized color system. By following defined ink formulations, this method allows efficient and reliable color matching across packaging production batches.

Best for: Clients with established brand colors or strict visual identity requirements.
Physical Sample Matching
One-to-one color matching based on existing products, caps, bottles, or color chips.Clients usually provide physical samples for reference, allowing us to match colors directly against real materials. This approach delivers highly accurate results.

Best for:
Replacing existing packaging or matching colors across different components.
Concept or Artwork Reference
Based on concepts, artworks, or visual references, we develop color proposals or renderings for confirmation before sampling. Drawing on our experience, we translate abstract color ideas into practical solutions that can be manufactured

Best for:
New brands, new product lines, or early-stage design concepts

2.Custom Color Application Methods

Different custom finish methods can significantly affect color depth, texture, and durability.
In-mold Color
Base color integrated into the material during injection molding for high durability and and long-term color stability.
Surface-applied colors that allow greater visual flexibility, including gradients, frosted effects, and soft-touch finishes.
Spray & Coating Colors
Advanced effects such as pearlescent, metallic, translucent, or layered colors, depending on material and finishing processes.

Color Variables & Control Process

Color Variable Awareness
Color Engineering Control
By combining early evaluation with disciplined color control, we help minimize color deviation from sampling through mass production.
Color appearance in cosmetic packaging is influenced by material and production variables. Since color is integrated into the material during molding rather than applied to a finished surface, the same pigment can look different across packaging types.
To ensure color consistency, we follow a structured color control process from sampling to mass production:Pre-production color samples developed and approved as reference standardsPhysical master samples archived for consistent future batchesMulti-light inspection under D65 and TL84 to ensure retail consistencyControlled tolerance management across multi-material packaging sets.
Notice: Color variations may occur across different materials and processes
