Dropper System

Vials with dropper systems offer precise and controlled dispensing, minimizing overuse and product waste while extending the shelf life of concentrated formulations. They are available with nitrile or butyl rubber bulbs, and plastic or aluminum exteriors. Designed to fit standard bottle necks, these droppers accommodate a wide range of viscosities—from fluid makeup to thicker lotions.


These droppers are ideal for direct skin application products where hygiene and dosage control are crucial. Their airtight design helps prevent cross-contamination and reduces air exposure, making them perfect for serums, essential oils, eye treatments, and other sensitive skincare or cosmetic formulations.

Sprayer System

Fine mist sprayers deliver a consistent and even spray pattern, ensuring better skin penetration and uniform coverage over both targeted and larger areas. Their compact and lightweight construction enhances user convenience without compromising performance.


Perfect for travel and on-the-go use, these sprayers are widely used for facial toners, makeup setting sprays, body mists, and perfumes. Their precise application makes them ideal for skincare and fragrance products that require controlled and even distribution.

Roll-On System

Roll-on applicators offer smooth, controlled product distribution through direct skin contact, using a rolling mechanism that reduces waste and delivers precise application to targeted areas. They come in 5ml, 10ml, and 15ml sizes with steel or plastic (PP) ball options.


Ideal for products requiring spot-on precision, roll-ons are commonly used in eye care, acne or blemish treatments, fragrance application, and therapeutic essential oil blends. Their compact design makes them suitable for both daily routines and travel use.

Present Your Brand with Custom Decorative Finishes

Discover how custom bottle surface finishes can transform your beauty packaging and enhance brand perception. From glossy and
matte surfaces to eye-catching iridescence options, the appealing finish is like a powerful marketing tool
that catches your targeting consumers’ attention in the first glance.

Lacquering

Spray-applied color coating creating glossy or matte finishes with unlimited color palette possibilities. Can be applied as total or partial coverage with anti-UV additives for light-sensitive formulas. Alternative to mass coloring, suitable for variable quantities and facilitating custom color matching.

Frosting

Acid etching or sandblasting technique creating matte texture that provides velvety appearance and pleasant tactile experience. Transforms clear glass into frosted glass with blurred but translucent appearance. Reduces fingerprints while offering UV protection and enabling easy labeling for branding.

Metallization

Vacuum process heating metallic material until evaporation, then condensing vaporized metal onto containers for uniform application. Creates chrome-like finish in gold, silver, or range of colors with protective topcoat. Delivers mirror-like appearance enhancing luxury positioning for cosmetic bottles.

Bamboo Finish

Bamboo finish offers a natural, rustic aesthetic with eco-friendly appeal in cosmetic packaging. This sustainable material has gained popularity among environmentally conscious brands. The unique texture and grain of bamboo creates a premium appearance that perfectly complements products containing natural or organic ingredients. The visual harmony between packaging and formulation strengthens brand authenticity, appealing to sustainability-focused consumers willing to pay more for environmentally responsible products. Brands leverage bamboo packaging as a key marketing differentiator, reinforcing their commitment to natural beauty solutions.

Quality Tests for Cosmetic Vials

Vacuum Decay Testing

Vacuum Decay Testing ensures vials maintain hermetic seals by placing packages in vacuum chambers and monitoring pressure changes over time. Rising pressure indicates leakage, with methods capable of detecting defects as small as 5 micrometers in diameter. This non-destructive test validates seal integrity for manufacturing quality control.

Dye Ingress Testing

This test challenges container closure integrity by exposing sealed vials to colored dye solutions under vacuum or pressure conditions. Any dye penetration indicates compromised sealing, making this visual method effective for detecting gross leaks and ensuring product protection against contamination during storage and transportation.

Physical Strength Evaluation

Physical Strength Evaluation tests vial durability through impact resistance, thermal shock, and stress cracking assessments. Materials undergo drop testing, temperature cycling, and mechanical stress applications to ensure packaging can withstand manufacturing, shipping, and consumer handling without structural failure or compromise to product integrity.

Long-term Performance Evaluation

Long-term Performance Evaluation subjects filled vials to accelerated aging conditions including elevated temperatures, humidity cycles, and light exposure for 3-12 months. Regular analysis monitors physical changes, chemical degradation, and package compatibility to determine product shelf life and establish appropriate storage recommendations for consumers.

Torque Testing

Closure Performance Verification measures optimal tightness levels for caps and pumps to ensure proper sealing without over-tightening that could damage threads or under-tightening that allows leakage. Testing determines appropriate torque specifications for manufacturing assembly and validates closure functionality throughout repeated opening and closing cycles.

Drop and Impact Testing

Transportation Durability Assessment simulates shipping and handling stresses through controlled drop tests from various heights and orientations. Vials undergo impact testing to verify structural integrity, closure retention, and leak resistance after experiencing typical distribution hazards, ensuring products reach consumers without damage or contamination.
