✛ For Founders
How Much Should Packaging Cost You?
A common founder mistake is treating packaging as an afterthought in the budget. A useful rule of thumb from across the industry: allocate roughly 20–25% of your total launch budget to packaging and visual branding — it's your product's silent salesperson on shelf and in a product photo.

✛ Sustainable Materials

PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled)
Recycled-content plastics that reduce reliance on virgin material.
Recyclable Mono-Materials
Single-material bottles and closures that are easier to sort and recycle.
Glass & Aluminium
Infinitely recyclable options for a premium, durable feel.
FSC-Certified Board
Responsibly sourced paper and carton packaging for secondary packaging and cartons.
Exact material availability depends on format and order volume — our team will confirm options and certifications for your specific product during scoping.

✛ Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
Does TX Labs offer sustainable packaging options?
Yes — sustainable packaging is one of our core options alongside standard bottle, jar, and airless formats.
Can TX Labs help if I don't have artwork yet?
Yes — our team offers full artwork support and premium packaging design if you don't yet have branding assets in place.
What packaging format is best for a serum?
Serums are typically packaged in dropper bottles or airless pumps to protect active ingredients from air and light exposure — our team can recommend the best fit for your formula.
Can packaging be customised with my own branding?
Yes — from bottle shape and colour to label design and finishing, packaging can be customised to match your brand identity.
Does packaging choice affect formulation stability?
Yes — packaging compatibility testing is part of our formulation process to ensure the packaging protects the formula over its intended shelf life.
Can I order small quantities of packaging for a low MOQ run?
Yes — packaging is sourced to match your production volume, including low MOQ runs. See our Low MOQ page for details.
How long does packaging development take?
Timelines vary by format and customisation level; standard formats are generally faster to source than fully custom mould designs.
Does packaging comply with international regulatory requirements?
Yes — our team factors FDA, EU, and ASEAN labelling and packaging requirements into the development process.
What certifications should I look for in sustainable packaging?
Look for FSC/PEFC for paper and carton materials, REACH compliance for material safety, and verified recycled (PCR) content — our team can confirm which apply to your chosen format.
Can I get documentation on packaging material traceability?
Yes — batch traceability documentation is available on request, particularly useful if you are selling into retail or export markets with compliance requirements.
How much of my launch budget should go toward packaging?
A common industry benchmark is 20–25% of your total launch budget — packaging affects shelf appeal, unboxing experience, and perceived value as much as the formula itself.
What's the cost difference between stock and custom-moulded packaging?
Stock packaging avoids tooling fees entirely and typically supports MOQs of 500–2,000 units; custom-moulded packaging requires mould setup costs and usually starts at 5,000–20,000+ units, but offers a fully distinctive shape.
