What are face cream jars?
Face cream is applied with the fingers, opened twice a day and kept for months, so the pack is handled more than most others in the routine. Lid thread quality, gasket seal and wall finish are noticed at every use.
We supply face cream jars in four common constructions: single-wall PP, double-wall PP with an outer shell, acrylic with an inner cup, and refillable jar-plus-pod systems.

Product features
Ritual-grade construction
Consistent thread fit, smooth wall finish and a lid that seats correctly are the difference between a premium ritual and a frustrating one.
Gaskets to reduce air exchange
An inner PE or silicone gasket limits air ingress and prevents product leakage into the lid threads during transport.
Refill-ready systems
Face cream refill pods let brands keep the decorated premium jar while replacing only the inner cup.

How these are manufactured
Parts are moulded by injection, injection blow or extrusion blow moulding depending on the format and material, then assembled, decorated and inspected in lots. Moulding parameters are recorded per mould so repeat orders match the approved sample. Read the manufacturing process.
Quality control
Dimension and weight checks, closure torque, leak and dose testing where relevant, colour verification (ΔE ≤ 1.5 opaque parts) and AQL 1.0/2.5 final inspection. Lot records are supplied with the shipping documents. See the inspection checklist.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions buyers ask most about face cream jars. Send any specific question through the contact form and a packaging engineer will reply in writing.
What is the best face cream jar size?
30 ml and 50 ml cover most launches. Use 15 ml for eye cream, 50 ml for standard face cream, and 60 ml when a formula is applied generously twice daily.
Should I choose 50 ml or 60 ml for a face cream?
The nominal capacity should exceed the fill volume by 5–10%. If your fill weight is 50 g and the formula density is around 1.0, a 50 ml jar is usually too tight — specify a 60 ml jar or reduce fill to 45–47 g.
Can the lid be printed with a logo?
Yes. Lid decoration options include direct screen printing, UV digital printing on flat surfaces, hot stamping, sprayed colour, domed labels and a printed insert disc under a clear lid.
What MOQ applies to face cream jars?
1,000 pcs per design for stock moulds; 3,000 pcs for decorated orders; 10,000 pcs per size for custom moulds.
What is the MOQ for face cream jars?
1,000 pcs per design for stock moulds; 3,000 pcs for decorated orders; 10,000 pcs per size for custom moulds.
Can I customise the colour?
Yes. Colour is matched to a Pantone reference or a physical sample and verified on production-resin parts. Custom colour matching on body, lid or both is the standard route, and we supply samples for approval before the run.
Can you print or emboss my logo?
Yes — printing, hot stamping, coating, labelling and custom closures are all available for face cream jars. Choose the method with your surface finish in mind: gloss print or foil works best on matte and soft-touch surfaces.
Can I request samples?
Stock samples in 5–10 working days; custom colour and decorated samples in 10–20 working days. Stock samples are supplied free (up to five pieces per SKU, courier at your cost); custom colour and decorated samples are quoted per project, typically USD 120–450.
Can you develop a custom mould?
Yes. Custom tooling is quoted as a separate line item with the cavity plan stated, usually from around 10,000 pcs per size and 25–40 calendar days from drawing approval to first-article inspection.
What is the production lead time?
15–30 working days after sample approval, depending on quantity, decoration and assembly complexity.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship face cream jars to the United States, Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and Latin America, quoting FOB, CIF, DDP and air freight.
Which materials are available?
