Beauty & cosmetics packaging

One supplier. One invoice. 40% better margins.

Beauty brands lose tens of thousands a year to a fragmented supply chain — jars from one supplier, boxes from another, inserts from a third. Consolidate to a single source and save up to £64,000 a year while cutting admin in half.

§01 — The Hidden Cost

Three suppliers isn’t flexibility.
It’s a tax on your margin.

Beauty brands juggle jars from one supplier, boxes from another, inserts from a third. Each supplier looks reasonable on a quote. The complexity between them is what bleeds the P&L.

01
3 invoices, 3 payment terms, 3 reconciliations
Your finance team spends hours each month chasing PODs, matching POs, and reconciling discrepancies across multiple supplier portals. That's salaried time disappearing into admin instead of growth.
02
3 lead time variables stacked against your launch
Jars land on time. Boxes are two weeks late. Inserts haven't shipped. Your launch slips by a month because the slowest supplier sets the pace — and you're the one explaining it to retail buyers.
03
Quality mismatches your customer sees first
Jars that don't sit flush in the box. Inserts that don't grip the bottle. Foil colour that drifts between the carton and the sleeve. When suppliers don't talk to each other, the unboxing tells your customer.
04
Working capital trapped across three MOQs
Every supplier wants a minimum order. So you over-order on jars to hit one MOQ, over-order on boxes to hit another, and end up with mismatched stock sitting in a 3PL bay you're paying rent on.
05
3 quality control processes — none of them yours
Each supplier QCs to their own standard. There is no single party accountable for the finished, assembled experience your customer opens. When something goes wrong, finger-pointing begins.
06
3 relationships to manage at scale
Briefs, artwork rounds, sample approvals, packing specs, escalations — multiplied by three. As your range grows from 4 SKUs to 40, the coordination tax grows faster than your headcount can absorb.

§02 — The Consolidation Advantage

Same range.
Same quality.
One source of truth.

Single-source beauty packaging removes the redundant middlemen sitting between your brand and the people actually making the components. For a brand ordering 20,000 jar units a year, that’s typically £47,000+ in annual savings — before counting the operational time you get back.

1 Brief

Send one spec sheet covering jars, bottles, boxes, inserts, ribbons. We coordinate the build so every component fits, ships, and lands together.

1 Sample Round

A single approval pack with every component pre-assembled — no more mailing test jars between three suppliers to check fit.

1 Lead Time

One coordinated production schedule. Components leave on the same vessel and arrive on the same pallet. Launches stop slipping.

1 Invoice

One PO. One invoice. One payment. Your finance team gets two hours back per month — and full unit-economics visibility per SKU.

1 Quality Standard

One signed-off master spec covering colour, finish, fit and tolerance. One party accountable end-to-end for the assembled experience.

1 Relationship

One account manager who knows every SKU in your range. Briefs, escalations and reorders happen in one thread, not three.

Total annual benefit

£87,720

"We were spending £38,950 every time we needed to restock both product lines. That same order now costs £17,500 — and we receive 2,000 extra units on top. In year one we saved enough to fund our next product launch without raising a single pound of external capital. PackageHubSupply is the supply chain we wish had existed when we started our UK Premium Skincare Brand. Now it does."
