## 1. Executive Summary & Core Engineering Scope
Free cosmetic packaging spec builder. Answer six questions — product type, formula, fill volume, quantity, target look, market and launch month — and get a 12-line sourcing spec sheet: format, material, neck finish, closure, decoration route, MOQ position, buffered lead time, QC tests and the month you must order by. Rules taken from Vella's engineering reference pages.

Six questions, two minutes. The builder applies the same rules a sourcing engineer applies to a brief — which materials your formula allows, which neck and closure the format takes, what your target look does to the minimum, how many days the route really needs — and writes a 12-line spec sheet you can copy or send to Vella in one click.

By the Vella sourcing team · Updated September 2026 · Rules sourced from the engineering reference pages linked below

A cosmetic packaging spec sheet needs 12 lines : product, fill volume, primary format, material, neck finish, closure or pump with its dose, decoration, colour reference, quantity per SKU and number of SKUs, target price, market and label needs, and launch date. The material line is decided by the formula before anything else — ethanol above ~30% rules out PET , pH below 4 means glass or PP , oxygen-sensitive actives mean amber glass, airless or a 5-layer EVOH tube — and the quantity line decides the route: about 500 for an undecorated stock part, 2,000 with a screen-printed logo, 2,000–5,000 per shape for sprayed colour, ~10,000 for airless and electroplated parts, 30,000+ for made-to-order glass. Lead time is the route's factory-gate figure × 1.3 , +15 days across Chinese New Year, plus sea freight.

A supplier who has not been told your alcohol percentage, your pH and your key actives has quoted a shape, not a package; a supplier who has not been told the quantity per SKU cannot say whether the route is stock, stock plus decoration or a private mould. The builder forces those twelve facts into one sheet and applies the rules below in order: formula decides material , format decides neck and closure , look decides the decoration process and its minimum , quantity decides whether you clear it , and route plus calendar decides the order-by month .

Every figure comes from the formula × packaging compatibility matrix , the MOQ index 2026 and the lead time index 2026 . Minimums are indicative, per component, and reachable through partner factories already tooled for small runs; the published industry floor is 5,000–10,000 pieces per item.

The look you choose is a machine set-up somewhere, and the size of that set-up is the floor. A full-wrap label or digital sleeve on a stock bottle starts at about 100–500 ; screen print at 2,000 (the decorating line's minimum, not the artwork's); frosting on a stock glass shape from about 1,000 ; sprayed custom colour 2,000–5,000 per component shape , because different shapes cannot be hung and sprayed together; anodised custom tones on aluminium collars around 10,000 ; electroplated closures ~10,000 , not moved by any supplier; moulded-in colour 5,000–10,000 ; a new mould 3,000–10,000 pieces plus RMB 25,000–70,000 of tooling; made-to-order glass 30,000–200,000 . Two ways under the numbers: move the colour to the label, or treat decoration as one programme across SKUs — six products of 2,000 sharing one shape and finish present the line with 12,000.
