    Lip Balm

    Lip balm jars and tins: small-format packaging for balms and salves.

    Small-format packaging has its own rules — tight tolerances, low fill weights, and a finish that has to look good at a size customers hold right up to their face.

    Every SKU is made-to-order, custom shapes, custom sizes, Pantone-matched body and cap, and the full decoration toolkit (silk screen, heat transfer, hot stamp, foil, labels). The formats below are the ones we run most often; if your brief calls for something different, we tool it.

    07. Related industries

    Other categories we manufacture for.

    Face Cream
    A face cream jar is the moment a skincare brand's positioning either lands or doesn't. We engineer the close, the wall feel and the finish to match the price point.
    Body Butter
    Body butter is thick, sometimes whipped, sometimes solid at room temperature — the jar opening has to be wide enough that a customer isn't fighting the packaging to get the product out.
    Hair Mask
    Hair masks get used in the shower, which means wet hands, a slippery counter, and a lid that needs to reseal cleanly between uses. We tool to that reality, not just the studio photo.
    Sleeping Mask
    A sleeping mask is a nightstand product — it needs to look premium under lamp light, seal well enough to protect actives overnight, and dispense cleanly with a fingertip.
