About Medellin
Medellin is a cosmetic packaging manufacturer in Hangzhou, China. Since 2011 we have designed, tooled and mass-produced packaging for skincare, makeup and fragrance brands in more than 40 countries — from a single 5,000-piece tube run to a full multi-material gift set.
Our story
We started in 2011 as a design studio working for domestic beauty brands and grew into a manufacturer because clients kept asking the same question: who can actually build this at volume? Today we run aluminium extrusion, glass sourcing and decoration, plastic injection, paper converting and bag sewing under one quality system, which is what lets us keep a mixed-material launch consistent.
What we make
Aluminium tubes and jars, glass bottles and cream jars, PET and PCR plastic bottles and tubes, FSC folding cartons and rigid gift boxes, and canvas, TPU, nylon or vegan leather cosmetic bags. Because all five families are produced under one roof, colour matching across materials is done side by side rather than by emailing Pantone numbers between suppliers.
Sustainability
We promote green packaging by reducing material at the source rather than offsetting afterwards: thinner walls where the formula allows, mono-material constructions that enter existing recycling streams, PCR content where the barrier still holds, and FSC-certified board with soy-based inks. We will tell you plainly when a green option raises the unit price or narrows the colour tolerance.
Design team
Our designers track fashion and beauty trends and explore new decoration techniques every season, so that a pack we propose is not only attractive on screen but also toolable, fillable and shippable. Everything we draw is checked against our own production capability before it reaches you.
