wholesale makeup eyeshadow palette vendors

Eyeshadow palette packaging is the first touchpoint for the value transfer of cosmetic products. The complexity of its process directly affects the brand premium and user experience. According to data from 2025, the global eyeshadow packaging market size reached US$6.4 billion, of which the application rate of environmentally friendly materials increased by 27% year-on-year (data source: Grand View Research). The complete production process of eyeshadow palette packaging, including material selection, structural design, and surface treatment, combines the development trend of intelligence and sustainability.

1. Core production process and technical points

1. Material selection stage (accounting for 30% of the cost)

Base material selection:

Mainstream ABS/PC alloy (accounting for 68%): density 1.15g/cm³, impact strength of 50kJ/m², suitable for magnetic trays.

Environmentally friendly alternative: PCR-PET material (30% recycled content), UL certified, but the unit price is 22% higher.

Functional auxiliary materials:

Magnetic components: NdFeB magnets (grade N52) are nickel-plated on the surface and can withstand salt spray tests for 240 hours.

Sealing strip: TPE material, maintains elasticity from -40℃ to 120℃.

2. Structural design and mold development

3D modeling: Use SolidWorks for stress simulation to ensure that the hinge opening and closing life is greater than 100,000 times.

Mold precision: Mirror polishing requires Ra≤0.1μm, and the parting line is controlled within 0.02mm.

Special structural case:

Rotary multi-grid plate: Through worm gear transmission, the rotation torque must be ≤0.8N·m.

Magnetic platter: Positioning column tolerance ±0.05mm to prevent color block misalignment.

3. Surface treatment and printing process

Coating technology:

UV light curing paint: curing speed 120m/min, hardness up to 3H pencil hardness.

Metal texture treatment: Vacuum evaporation aluminum layer, reflectivity >95% when thickness 0.2μm.

Printing solution:

Digital direct printing: Pantone color difference ΔE≤1.5, suitable for small batch customization.

Heat transfer: Friction resistance test＞5000 times (ASTM D5264).

II. Key nodes of quality control

Test items

Standard methods

Qualified indicators

Sealing

GB/T 2828.1-2025

No leakage after immersion in 1m water for 30 minutes

Heavy metal migration

ISO 22716:2025

Pb＜10ppm, As＜3ppm

Magnetic attraction attenuation

Enterprise standard Q/XYZ 001-2025

Adsorption force ≥80% after 1000 times of opening and closing

III. Innovation trends and challenges

Intelligent packaging:

Implanting NFC chip to achieve anti-counterfeiting traceability, the cost increases by $0.3/piece.

Zero waste design:

Cellulose packaging can be composted, but the compressive strength is reduced by 40%.

Cost control contradiction:

The application of recycled materials has led to a 15% increase in mold loss rate, and it is necessary to balance environmental protection and economic benefits.

Conclusion

The technological innovation of eyeshadow palette packaging has shifted from pure functional requirements to the trinity of "aesthetics + technology + sustainability". Makeup eyeshadow palette vendors give priority to investing in modular molds (which can reduce 30% of the changeover time) and low-carbon coating technology to cope with the new cosmetics packaging regulations (EC No 1223/2025 amendment) to be implemented by the EU in 2027.
