Eyeshadow case Industry knowledge

Eyeshadow Case Manufacturing, Configured for Cosmetic Brands

Sumseng Group Co., Ltd. is a China-based eyeshadow case manufacturer and empty eyeshadow case factory serving beauty brands, contract fillers and packaging distributors. Our range covers transparent and solid compacts, magnetic palettes, single-well cases and multi-pan professional layouts, all developed in-house through mold design, injection molding, surface decoration and final assembly.

Within the Makeup Packaging line, the eyeshadow case category is built for pressed powder formats: empty cases ready for your filling line, magnetic systems for refillable programs, and custom structures for exclusive retail launches.

Product Range and Positioning

We offer the following eyeshadow case configurations as standard catalog items and as starting points for custom development. Each type is designed around a specific filling, refill or branding scenario.

4-Pan and Multi-Pan Transparent Compacts

Slim rectangular and square layouts with clear lids, suitable for gradient powder pans, sample kits and retail palettes that need visible color presentation.

Magnetic Empty Palettes

Cases with ferrous plates or magnetic pan retention for refillable color programs. Consumers can swap pans, while brands benefit from reduced packaging waste and repeat pan purchases.

Decorated Compact Cases

Rose gold frames, mint or pink finishes, and faux-leather or lacquered surfaces for beauty tools, specialty retail and limited collections.

Powder Cases and 6-Pan Professional Palettes

Compact powder cases with mirrors and applicator storage, plus larger 6-pan and 9-pan formats for professional makeup artists and multi-finish collections.

Materials, Construction and In-House Capability

Our eyeshadow cases are manufactured from cosmetic-grade plastics, primarily ABS, selected for impact resistance, dimensional stability and compatibility with decoration processes. The production process is managed across our own mold manufacturing, injection molding, stamping, coating, hot stamping, printing, vacuum metallization and assembly operations.

  • Mold design: We develop multi-cavity molds tuned for thin-wall sections, hinge durability and consistent pan seating.
  • Surface finishing: Gloss, matte, metallic, soft-touch and textured finishes are matched to the brand direction.
  • Decoration: Hot stamping, screen printing, pad printing, laser etching and vacuum metallization are applied in-house.
  • Assembly: Hinges, mirrors, pan retainers and closures are assembled and tested before shipment.

Application Fit and Filling Line Considerations

Every empty eyeshadow case is engineered for a specific filling route. Transparent palettes suit manual or semi-automatic pressing of powder pans; magnetic cases are configured for pre-pressed pan placement; compact cases with mirrors and applicator wells work for on-the-go formats and contract filler assembly lines.

We define the case geometry around your pan diameter, depth, wall thickness and press tooling clearance. Pan retention is verified through drop and vibration checks so pans remain seated in distribution and retail handling.

Critical Specifications and Configuration

Parameter Typical Scope Project Relevance
Case format 1-pan, 4-pan, 6-pan, 9-pan, custom grid Defines cavity layout, footprint and retail display size.
Pan retention Magnetic plate, metal pan, friction clip Critical for refill programs and drop resistance.
Closure and hinge Snap lid, living hinge, metal pin hinge Affects durability, opening torque and tactile feel.
Accessories Mirror, brush slot, applicator, sponge pad Defines internal cavity design and assembly complexity.
Decoration area Lid, base, side panels Determines printing, hot stamping or metallization layout.
Custom mold Stock mold adaptation or new cavity Balances lead time, tooling cost and brand exclusivity.

Automation, Tooling and Production Integration

Eyeshadow cases are supplied as empty packaging for your filling and assembly line. We coordinate the interface points that affect automation: pan cavity tolerances, placement clearance, lid opening angle and case orientation for printing or labeling. For contract fillers, we confirm stackability, carton configuration and orientation so the cases feed reliably into depalletizing and indexing equipment.

In-house injection molding and assembly also support higher-volume programs where dimensional consistency across cavities reduces line stoppages. We use trial molding to verify hinge cycles, lid closure and pan fit before mass production.

Quality Assurance and Acceptance Testing

Quality management is embedded in our production flow: incoming material checks, in-process dimension inspection, decoration adhesion testing and final functional review before packing. Our facility operates under an ISO9001 quality management system.

  • Dimensional inspection: Critical case dimensions, hinge alignment and pan cavity tolerances are measured against approved drawings.
  • Functional checks: Lid open/close cycling, mirror integrity, magnet holding force and latch engagement are tested.
  • Appearance review: Surface defects, color match, print registration and metallization consistency are inspected under defined lighting.
  • Packing validation: Cases are packed to prevent transit damage, with layering and carton strength matched to shipment mode.

Customization and OEM/ODM Support

We support both OEM adaptation of existing cases and ODM development of new structures. Custom projects begin with a project brief covering target price, filling format, brand identity and launch timing. Our development sequence follows: structural design, 3D prototyping, mold development, injection molding trials, surface decoration and assembly validation.

Decoration options include electroplating, printing, laser engraving, painting and faux-leather wrapping. For collection launches, we align the eyeshadow case with Lipstick tube, Lipgloss tube and other makeup packaging components so the full line shares consistent finishes and hardware.

Information We Use to Configure Your Solution

To propose the right eyeshadow case configuration, we need the following project inputs. The more precisely these are defined, the faster we can confirm tooling approach, sample timeline and unit cost structure.

  • Powder pan size and count: Pan diameter, depth, wall style and number of wells per case.
  • Filling method: Manual pan placement, semi-automatic pressing or fully automatic filling line.
  • Refill requirements: Magnetic pans, metal pan retention or glued pan construction.
  • Branding and decoration: Logo method, finish, color target and any matching collection components.
  • Target retail context: Shelf display, travel size, professional use or subscription box format.
  • Order volume and launch date: Determines stock mold versus custom mold, sampling workload and production scheduling.

Packaging, Delivery and Documentation

Empty eyeshadow cases are shipped in corrugated cartons with protective inserts to prevent surface scratching and hinge stress. We can supply product drawings, dimension sheets, material declarations and packing documentation as required by your quality team. Sample approval is the gate for mass production, and we maintain batch traceability through the assembly and inspection records.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an empty eyeshadow case and what does it include?

An empty eyeshadow case is an unfilled compact or palette ready for powder filling. It typically includes the base, lid, hinge, pan cavities and optional mirror, applicator or magnetic retention system. We supply the case complete and ready for your filling line.

Can we use stock molds or do we need a custom eyeshadow case?

Stock molds are suitable when the existing 4-pan, 6-pan or 9-pan layout matches your pan size and filling method. A custom case is recommended when you need exclusive branding, a different well configuration, unusual decoration or a specific refill mechanism. We evaluate both options against your volume and launch timing.

What pan sizes and materials are compatible with your magnetic eyeshadow cases?

Our magnetic cases accept standard metal pans used in pressed powder filling. The cavity and magnet placement are configured to the pan diameter and depth you specify. We recommend sharing the pan drawing or a physical sample so the retention force and seating depth are verified before tooling is finalized.

How do you ensure case quality and consistent filling fit?

We control case quality through in-house mold manufacturing, injection molding and assembly. Dimensional inspection, hinge cycling and pan fit checks are performed on production samples, and the approved sample becomes the reference for mass production. This consistency reduces filling line adjustments and field failures.

Can the eyeshadow case be decorated to match our other makeup packaging?

Yes. Hot stamping, screen printing, pad printing, laser etching, painting and vacuum metallization can be applied to the case lid or base. We coordinate the finish with lipstick tubes, lip gloss tubes and other components in your line for a consistent brand presentation.

What information do you need for a custom eyeshadow case quotation?

We need the pan specification, number of wells, target dimensions, filling method, decoration requirements, estimated quantity and launch date. With these details, we can confirm whether a stock mold, adapted mold or new custom mold is the most practical route.
