Cosmetic Sample Container Sizes: Decide by Uses
Sample size is decided by how many applications it has to give, not by millilitres — the three formats we make, and what a quotation needs.
Cosmetic Sample Container Sizes
A sample container is not chosen in millilitres. It is chosen by how many applications it has to give: one trial, a week of use, or a travel kit.
Decide by uses
One use — a single trial, the equivalent of a sachet.
Several uses — a week of testing, where the container has to reseal and still look presentable on a bathroom shelf.
A travel kit — sized to go in a bag with other items, and to survive the trip.
State the number of uses and the volume follows from it.
Three formats
Portion container — single-portion cream, serum or balm.
Eye cream container — the compact, targeted end of the range.
Skincare sample container — the general small format for creams, lotions and serums.
All three are rigid PP containers, in the same high-barrier family that runs coffee and tea samples.
