The factory's policy of offering small-batch cosmetics contract manufacturing services is designed for long-term development. Once a small brand takes off, the long-term benefits for cosmetics manufacturers are substantial.

So what are the benefits and advantages for entrepreneurs and brands testing the waters like us?

1. Adapting to the market and entering the market with low risk

For entrepreneurs drawn to the industry by rumors of profitability, or those who have been in the industry for a while and are eager to launch their own brand, small-batch cosmetics contract manufacturing can at least reduce capital investment. It also allows you to adapt your products to the market and find a branding strategy that suits your style.

2. Testing the model

Whether you're a major brand or just starting your own brand, every product needs a testing phase. If market feedback shows good sales, we can naturally go into large-scale production. If market feedback isn't positive, we can adjust our strategy.

3. Less inventory pressure

Those who prefer pre-sales and franchise opportunities don't like to carry heavy inventory. However, a viable development model requires ready stock, so small-batch production is a good fit for this group.

Friends who have consulted with cosmetics manufacturers agree that the cost of contract manufacturing for small batches of cosmetics is significantly higher. Some find this puzzling?

That's true, but where does the cost increase?

Packaging, packaging materials, and color boxes

Branding requires printing, new designs, and pattern making—all of which are quite costly. With small volumes, the per-bottle production cost naturally appears much higher.

These days, established cosmetics manufacturers generally aren't interested in small orders. Finding a strong factory that supports small-batch contract manufacturing is still a good option for small and medium-sized brands, and it can be a significant boost to their brand development.
