Introducing Tajine
Tajine is the latest version of a supplier’s Eureka loose-powder container. The package comprises a pot with a sifter, as well as a cap with a built-in handle and applicator. The cap screws into the jar precisely, preventing powder from leaking. To apply product, users can grip the cap’s ergonomic handle and use the built-in applicator to apply product directly to the face. The jar is made from ABS, the sifter from polypropylene, and the handle from polystyrene. The applicator is covered with a flocked latex cover that is removable and washable. The container holds up to 12.4 ml of loose powder. Alcan Packaging Beauty, New York, NY.
Airtight Lipstick Container
For Nivea’s Extreme Stay lipstick, a supplier provided an airtight ABS lipstick case. The case was decorated with metallized light-blue colors to match Nivea’s redesigned makeup packaging. On the top of the lipstick container’s cap, a thick-walled SAN disc was fitted to magnify and highlight a flower engraved on top of the cap. To ensure perfect alignment between the lens and cap, the supplier developed a special indexing system to facilitate manual assembly and to guarantee consistent quality and placement.

Glamorous Look
A supplier’s new 60-ml double-walled loose-powder jar was designed to complement the look of the company’s Paris, Venus, and Allure stock packaging lines. The Glam jar features a clear outer base and a natural-colored polypropylene inner jar. It also includes a sifter and a matching matte-silver plastic cap. A wide range of finishes can be applied using specialty coatings, metallization, and injection coloring. Further customization can be done with labeling, silk-screening, and hot stamping.

Slim Palettes
Cosmetic palettes feature a slim profile. Different inserts can be fitted into the compact to change the size, shape, and number of wells. The compacts can be molded in various colors and customized with metallizing, soft-touch finishing, matte spraying, or UV lacquering. Hot stamping, silk-screening, heat-transfer printing, and tampo printing can also be applied. Topline Products Company, Inc., Wayne, NJ.
Clinique Compact
A supplier manufactured a compact for Clinique that houses two separate, extensive product palettes. The compact is a four-piece construction and features a one-piece lid fitted with a full-sized, flush-fitting mirror. A drawer slides out from the bottom of the compact to hold a second palette of products. The compacts were UV sprayed to provide a clear, high-shine finish and to protect against scuffing.

A company’s range of color cosmetic packaging includes packages for lipstick, mascara, eye shadow, blush, and powder. Components can be produced in plastic, metal, or glass. For lip gloss, the firm offers pots as well as tubes with roller ball, slant-tip, showerhead, or brush applicators.
