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 shampoo (hair care) private label projects, MOQ is generally 1,000 units per SKU when the formula and packaging are relatively simple.
- If the packaging, process, or formula complexity increases (for example, more complex structures or multi-component packaging), the MOQ typically moves to 3,000 units per SKU.
- We can support custom formula development and make samples after the product plan is confirmed, then proceed to contract signing, brand/packaging design, sample confirmation, and mass production.
- For compliance and market readiness, we can support documentation and testing workflows (for example, providing standard factory/product docs, assisting with barcode issuance, and arranging third-party testing with report tracking).
- Lead time is usually driven by packaging: packaging orders typically take 10-30 working days (e.g., glass bottles about 15 working days, acrylic bottles about 30 working days), while bulk production is typically 10-20 working days after materials are ready.
- End-to-end one-stop brand projects are commonly planned at 45-60 days, and we can also provide shipping/logistics coordination info.
Buyer outcome
