Complete packaging for FMCG, F&B and cosmetics

Packaging challenges in FMCG, F&B and cosmetics

Fast-moving consumer goods have short life cycles, many SKUs and designs that change with the season and with promotions. Packaging has to look good on the shelf, run smoothly on the line and protect the goods all the way to the buyer. If one step fails, costs climb:

• Labels lifting at the edges on bottles that are chilled, damp or oily.
• Roll labels wound in the wrong direction or on the wrong core, stopping the labelling machine.
• Brand colours that drift between labels, boxes and bags because they are printed in three places.
• Glass bottles and cosmetic jars breaking in online deliveries or long-distance transport.
• Every new product launch means working again with several suppliers.

For small and mid-sized companies, quantity is also an issue: the first order is small and hard to place, yet the labels and boxes still have to meet shelf standards. For larger plants, the priority is roll labels that run reliably on the applicator and delivery that matches the production plan.

How HQPAK solves it

With creative technology that combines digital, flexo and offset printing, HQPAK handles a wide range of design requirements and order sizes, from launch batches to steady repeat orders, to your brand's quality requirements.

HQPAK supplies FMCG packaging as a set for each product line, from the label on the bottle to the foam in the shipping carton:

• Food and cosmetic labels: self-adhesive labels in paper or plastic film, chosen for the bottle or jar surface and the storage conditions; as sheets for hand application or as rolls for applicators.
• Tamper evidence: tamper-evident seals for jar lids, box lids and bag openings.
• Retail packing: ivory, duplex and kraft paper boxes printed with your branding; PE, OPP and zipper bags for products and combo packs.
• Protection for fragile goods: PE foam as bags, sheets and shaped pieces for glass bottles, cosmetic jars and gift sets.

For new launches and market tests, small runs are printed digitally. When the product sells steadily, you can move to flexo or offset to bring cost down. Because labels, boxes and bags use the same artwork file, the colours and layout of your F&B packaging and cosmetics packaging stay consistent from batch to batch.

Our 5-step process for a packaging set

1. Product survey: bottle, jar or box material and shape; storage conditions (chilled, damp, oily); hand or machine labelling; sales channel, whether supermarkets, distributors or online.
2. Set proposal: label material, roll specification, box style, bags and cushioning foam, with one combined quotation within 24 hours of receiving full specifications.
3. Samples and approval: printed samples to test on your real packaging, a trial on your labelling machine, and approval of brand colour.
4. Production: labels, boxes, bags and foam made to the agreed specification, with colour and roll direction checked before packing.
5. One shipment: the items are delivered together, matched to your packing schedule. Standard orders ship 3-7 working days after sample approval; export shipment timing is confirmed in the quotation, and PE foam lead time is confirmed when the order is placed.

Why consolidate FMCG packaging with one supplier

• Fewer suppliers: a new launch involves one party instead of three or four.
• Consistent branding: labels, boxes and bags come from one artwork file and an approved colour standard.
• One shipment: all the labels, boxes and bags arrive together, and the packing line does not wait.
• One invoice: one set of documents for the whole packaging set, quick for accounting to reconcile.
