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.
- For body care products in Southeast Asia, common packaging defects include label adhesion issues due to high humidity, which can cause bubbling or peeling within weeks.
- Leakage is frequent with pumps and squeeze tubes, especially if the product viscosity isn’t matched to the dispensing mechanism—thinner formulas may leak through valve seals.
- Cap and closure defects, like cross-threading or poor seals, often stem from low-cost components that fail under temperature fluctuations during storage or shipping.
- During sampling, we recommend a 3-4 week timeline to test packaging under accelerated conditions (e.g., 40°C/75% RH) and perform fill-weight checks to catch leakage early.
- MOQ guidance: For custom packaging, MOQs start at 5,000-10,000 units per SKU to justify mold costs and ensure batch consistency in production.
- Lead time for full production is typically 8-10 weeks after approval, including 2 weeks for stability testing to verify packaging integrity.
- We support documentation like test reports for leakage, drop tests, and compatibility studies, which are crucial for SEA market compliance, though final regulatory approval depends on local authorities.
- Always audit supplier certifications for packaging materials to avoid contamination risks.
