US market: what MoCRA actually changes on your pack.
MoCRA's packaging consequence is label real estate, not the container. Every US cosmetic label must now carry a domestic address, domestic phone number or electronic contact through which the responsible person can receive adverse event reports. On a 500 ml body wash that is trivial. On a 15 ml eye serum it is space you have to design in rather than squeeze in, and it is the single most common thing brands discover after artwork is signed off.
Fragrance allergen disclosure is coming, but it is not final. FDA missed its statutory deadline of 29 December 2025; a proposed rule is expected during 2026 and a final rule is unlikely to take effect before 2027. A label run printed today can legally omit it — a label run intended to last into 2027 probably cannot. We tell you which side of that line your print quantity puts you on, so you choose a reprint rather than inherit one.
Two dates that belong in your launch calendar, even though they are your obligation and not ours. Facility registration renews on a two-year cycle, with the first cosmetics renewal window expected in July 2026. A product launched now must be listed with FDA within 120 days of going to market.
Materials and factories. We source FDA food-contact-grade materials where the format requires it, and partner factories operate to ISO 22716 / GMP standards with material certificates supplied for your records.
Shipping. Consolidated sea and air freight to US ports with export documentation handled, and honest door-to-door lead times so your launch date is a plan rather than a hope.
One thing worth saying plainly. In every market we serve, the compliance burden that lands on the packaging is label real estate — not the container. We are a packaging sourcing partner, not your regulatory adviser, and we will not pretend otherwise. What we can do is make sure the format you choose has room for what your market requires, and that you do not pay twice for a print run.
Every format, sourced for United States.

FDA MoCRA, California SB 54 & US customs engineering benchmark.
| US Compliance & Logistics Dimension | Statutory Requirement / Technical Threshold | How Vella Engineers Your Packaging |
|---|---|---|
| FDA MoCRA Adverse Event Contact | 21 U.S.C. 364e mandates domestic US address, US phone number, or electronic contact on the label for adverse event receipt. | We verify printable silkscreen wrap area on small formats (15 ml eye airless, 30 ml serum droppers, lip tubes) before screen fabrication. |
| 21 CFR 701.13 Dual Net Quantity | Principal Display Panel (PDP) must show dual declaration in US fluid ounces / avoirdupois oz and metric (e.g., 50 mL / 1.69 FL. OZ.). | True water-overflow brimful capacity tested to prevent under-fill or slack-fill litigation. |
| California SB 54 & Prop 65 | CA SB 54 mandates 25% plastic reduction & 100% recyclable/compostable packaging by 2032; Prop 65 restricts lead/cadmium in glass inks. | Heavy-metal-free ceramic/UV inks (Pb + Cd + Hg + Cr VI < 100 ppm) + GRS-certified PCR (30–100%) and mono-material PP pumps. |

Frequently asked
Can I source cosmetic packaging from China for my United States brand?
Yes. Vella manages the entire China side for United States brands — vetting factories, running samples, inspecting quality and consolidating shipping to your market — so you get factory-direct pricing without the risk of managing overseas suppliers yourself.
Is the packaging compliant with US requirements?
We source FDA food-contact-grade materials where required and keep your packaging aligned with US expectations, including MoCRA (Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act) considerations around labelling space and safety documentation. Partner factories operate to ISO 22716 / GMP standards, with material certificates provided for your records.
How long does shipping to United States take?
Consolidated sea and air freight to US ports, with export documentation handled. We advise on realistic door-to-door lead times so your launch timeline is dependable. Exact timelines depend on format, whether tooling is custom, and freight mode — we give honest estimates up front.
What's the minimum order to start?
Low. We work with factories that accept small trial runs so you can launch without high minimums, then scale the formats that sell. Exact minimums depend on the format and customization.
Do you provide compliance certificates?
Yes — partner factories operate to ISO 22716 / GMP standards, and we provide relevant material and compliance certificates (food-contact grade, REACH, PCR/GRS as applicable) for your records and claims.
What does MoCRA actually change about my packaging?
The container barely changes; the label does. A US cosmetic label must carry a domestic address, domestic phone number or electronic contact through which the responsible person can receive adverse event reports. On small formats — 15 ml eye products, lip items, sample sizes — that contact route has to be designed into the label area from the start rather than added at artwork stage.
Should I leave label space for fragrance allergen disclosure?
Probably, depending on how long your print run has to last. FDA missed its 29 December 2025 deadline for the fragrance allergen labelling rule; a proposed rule is expected during 2026 and a final rule is unlikely to take effect before 2027. A label printed today can omit it. A large run intended to carry you into 2027 may need headroom. We will tell you which case your quantity falls into before you commit to the print.
