Asian skincare brand collection showing cosmetic tubes with high MOQ requirements
Fig 1. Original concept required high initial investment due to different colors.

The Challenge

  • Client selected Cosmetic Tube packaging but faced high MOQs.
  • Supplier required 10,000 pieces per SKU (20k total), exceeding the startup budget.
  • Needed to launch Day & Night creams simultaneously.
  • Design required matching Cream Jars for their premium line later.

Our Solution

  1. Unified Mold Design: We kept the Soft Tube caps and body colors identical (Matte Oatmeal) to combine the production run.
  2. Variable Printing: Distinguished products solely through offset printing plates (Day vs Night text).
  3. Split Run: Produced 10,000 tubes in one go, split into 5,000 Day + 5,000 Night.

"By standardizing the tube diameter and cap color, we treated the production as a single run. This 'Combo-Run' strategy is perfect for brands launching multiple SKUs."

"Lumlun's unified design solution perfectly solved our dilemma. Not only did it reduce our MOQ risk, but it also helped us establish a consistent brand visual system. This solution saved us 40% of our initial packaging investment."

Previous non-compliant glossy plastic packaging

The Challenge

Our Solution

  1. Bottles: Lotion Bottles converted to 100% PCR-PET (Post-Consumer Recycled).
  2. Tubes: Cosmetic Tubes replaced with Sugarcane-based Bioplastics.
  3. Serums: Upgraded to Recycled Glass Dropper Bottles with water-based eco-printing.
  4. Outer Box: All Paper Boxes switched to FSC-certified paper.

"The key was matching the color of PCR material. Recycled plastic can be yellowish, but our color-correction tech achieved a pristine white finish."

"The EU regulations seemed impossible to meet without compromising our luxury image. Lumlun's expertise in sustainable materials was a game-changer. Our carbon footprint dropped by 60%, and we secured three major new retail partnerships specifically because of our sustainable packaging."
