On Display: Color Packaging - Colorful Designs
A New Wave in Design
The traditional lipstick container gets an elegant update with a supplier's new Wave component. The Wave lipstick container features a two-piece cap construction. The inside of the cap's top features a decorative curved piece, simulating the look of a wave. The component was designed to match the corresponding Wave compact.

Brush Pens and More
A color packaging supplier specializes in flow-through brush pens, like this one pictured for lip liner. The company is also continually expanding its product range by sourcing new packages for lipstick, lip gloss, mascara, and face powder. A wide range of finishes and services are available, from custom design and molding to private-label development of stock packages. Manufacturing facilities are located in Europe and Asia. Cosmopak Corp., New York City.
Rolling in Style
A supplier of cosmetic and skin care packaging has introduced a new design. The Mini Roll-On package is suited for lip and cheek products. Made from PETG, a material with high chemical resistance, the package is available with three types of containers—a tube, a tottle, and a capsule. Container sizes range from 6.8 to 14.5 ml. Mascara, eye liner, and lip gloss applicators are also offered to substitute for the roll-on applicator. Cospack America Corp., Edison, NJ.
Tins
A supplier specializes in metal and plastic packaging, as well as combinations of both. Metal styles include metal talc and salve tins for lip balm and lip gloss, as well as custom injection-molded designs. Decoration can be applied such as embossing, labeling, and textures, including glossy, pebbled, and matte. The firm is an award winner in the field of metal lithography. J.L. Clark, Rockford, IL.
Elegant Line
A complete collection of stock color cosmetic packages makes it easier for customers to source several items for a line. The elegant Galaxy Collection features components in glass, plastic, and metal. Compacts, loose-powder pots, and containers for lipstick, lip gloss, and mascara are all parts of this line. Decorating options include frosting, lacquering, and hot-stamping. The packages are versatile and can accommodate a range of looks, spanning hip, traditional, and classical.

Environmentally Friendly
Aveda's Inner Light concealer container is environmentally friendly thanks to components made with postconsumer recyclate (PCR). The injection-molded bottle is composed of up to 50% postconsumer polypropylene. The cap is made from a flax-filled, postconsumer polypropylene material. The supplier also created the PCR packaging for Aveda's Uruku lipstick container. Crown Risdon, Watertown, CT.
Blooming Looks for Compacts
Flower-printed cardboard imparts a unique look to Urban Decay's The Shadow Box compact. The effect was achieved using 128-gsm art board and five-color printing. According to the supplier, the company has been developing this type of cardboard palette packaging for some time. An alternative to conventional plastic injection-molded components, the cardboard-decorated compact allows brands to completely cover a compact's outside with high-impact graphics. In addition, the company also says that these compacts can be more cost-effective due to their lack of initial tooling costs when compared with some types of plastic components.
