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 the U.S. market, we typically run sampling through: scientific product selection -> solution confirmation -> brand design -> sample confirmation.
- The fastest route is to confirm your target claims/fragrance/texture and whether you need samples in final packaging for photos and compliance checks.
- If you need packaging-inclusive samples, timing is mainly driven by packaging lead times: unit box about 15 working days, set box about 20 working days; common inner packs like glass bottles/soft tubes are about 15 working days, while acrylic bottles can take up to 30 working days.
- Packaging testing is about 3 days.
- These items can run in parallel with formula confirmation.
- MOQ guidance: most items start at 1,000-3,000 pcs; simpler products can start at 1,000, while a more complex skincare/grooming set is typically closer to 3,000.
- After sample sign-off and packaging arrival, bulk production is usually 10-20 working days, with key internal blocks including raw material production (5-7 days), raw material testing (5 days), and finished production (7 days).
- We can support documentation and third-party testing/inspection report tracking; regulatory outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
