From nothing, in 2006, I co-founded two skincare manufacturing factories, which ran until 2023. And of course, we were always on the hunt for packaging globally.
Adding some context, my factories were located in Viet Nam and Malaysia, and 90% of our orders were produced for Private Label brands globally.
My advice is don’t limit yourself to U.S suppliers. They may not provide the quality or “look” for your brand. My approach was to continually aim to escape the ordinary.

Thank you for your sincere advice. I attempted to order from international suppliers, but the shipping costs to the U.S. were extremely high. From your expertise, do you have any specific global suppliers you would recommend? I appreciate your assistance.

It is an issue of aesthetics. Your aesthetic is probably not the same as mine, so I’m reluctant to make recommendations. I like to redefine a category and set new standards. This elevates your customers to a higher level of existence, as well as price. Packaging is important in this context.
And my approach is to search online for suppliers, and for those that appeal I ask for samples. And once you have a sample in hand you can appreciate the aesthetic and decide if it matches your brand.
In short, there are no shortcuts.

I completely agree and understand. Your insight is invaluable to me. Thank you so much.

Are you looking for custom packaging or simple cosmo and bullet bottles etc?

Yes, I am looking for personal care items, like bottles, airless pumps or jars, etc. I wonder is there custom packaging?
Thanks

I asked because there are many available if you check google. You should also try attending Cosmoprof if you want to find those that do custom packaging. One of my go to’s is Container and Packaging. If you call them directly and are doing pallets you get better rates than the website. You can also try US Pack Group for bottles.
