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 US hair care brands, we recommend switching from glass to PET bottles with metallic finish labels – this saves 30-40% on packaging while maintaining shelf appeal.
  • Consider upgrading to airless pumps instead of flip caps, which reduces product waste and allows for smaller fill volumes.
  • Our MOQ for shampoo is 5,000 units per SKU, with sampling taking 2-3 weeks including stability testing.
  • We provide full documentation for US FDA compliance and can adjust lead times based on packaging complexity.
  • For Amazon sellers, we’ve found that matte finishes and embossed logos create perceived value without premium material costs.
  • Testing includes pump torque validation to prevent leakage during transit, which is critical for FBA shipments.
