Quick Answer (for busy buyers)
Here’s the buyer-first summary. If your brand name is on the label, you usually act as the responsible person and must ensure the listing is submitted and kept current.
- In Southeast Asia body care production, packaging typically drives MOQ more than formula.
- Custom bottles, caps, or pumps require high-volume orders to justify mold costs, with MOQs often starting at 10,000-50,000 units per SKU.
- Formula complexity can increase MOQ if using rare actives or needing stability testing for humid climates, but stock formulas may lower it to 5,000 units.
- Sampling takes 2-4 weeks, including compatibility checks for leakage in high humidity.
- We support documentation for ASEAN regulatory compliance, like notification dossiers, but approval depends on local authorities.
- Lead time from production to shipping is 8-12 weeks, factoring in QA for viscosity changes in heat and label adhesion tests.
Buyer outcome
