Custom Eye Cream Sample Container
An eye cream sample has the hardest job in the range: a dose measured in tenths of a gram, a formula that costs more per gram than anything else on the shelf, and a customer who will judge the whole brand by a 3 g cup. That is why the closure matters as much as the cup.
These are food-grade PP containers with a flat foil heat-sealed membrane. The foil matters for two reasons: it keeps a small dose from drying out between filling and first use, and it gives a flat, printable top where a lid would leave a rim.
Why foil rather than a lid
An eye cream is used around the eye, in small amounts, often over months. A lid that is opened and closed twenty times lets air in each time, and the product surface dries. A heat-sealed membrane seals the whole top in one plane, so nothing is exposed until the customer peels it. It also removes the risk of a lid working loose in a gift box or a mailer.
A lid still makes sense if the sample is meant to be kept and re-used for a week or more. Both are available on the same cup.
Matching the cup to the dose
Eye cream sits at the smallest end of the sample range. Two decisions follow from that. First, the fill weight: a single application is tiny, so the cup is often specified by the number of applications (how sample container sizes are chosen) rather than by grams — one, three, or a week. Second, the print: on a 20–25 mm top there is room for a mark and a product name, not a story. Keep the artwork to one line and let the cup shape carry the rest.
MOQ, samples and the first run
This line starts at 1,000,000 pcs per size, with no trial batch. The figure comes from multi-cavity tooling: a run fills the mould, and that is what holds the unit cost down. It is not aimed at keeping small brands out.
Samples replace the trial batch. Cups are sent before production so you can check the foil seal sits flat and peels cleanly, see the print at real size, and fill a few to test capacity. If the formula is expensive, fill the sample with the real product — a cup tested with water tells you nothing about how the cream behaves at the foil.
If your first order is well under a million, the spout pouch line starts at 50,000 pcs per size with a 1,000-pc trial, and an eye serum or gel travels well in a small pouch.small spout pouch for eye serum

FAQ
Will the foil seal survive shipping?
The membrane is heat-sealed across the full rim, so the failure mode to watch is a partial seal rather than the film itself. That is one of the things the sample is for: peel one and look at the seal line before you approve a run.
Can the top carry a full-colour logo?
Yes, but at this diameter keep it to one or two elements. Fine type and gradients fill in at small sizes; a solid mark and a short product name read better.
Can I fill and seal in my own facility?
The cup is supplied unfilled with the foil separate, so filling and sealing happen on your line. If you need filled and sealed samples, say so at quotation stage — that is a different process from supplying empty cups.
