Order Structure

MOQ and Order Type Evaluation

Different order quantities allow different levels of customization. This is an important part of a custom eyeshadow palette project because color development, packaging printing, and material purchasing all depend on MOQ.

Custom eyeshadow palette options for different order quantities — The practical customization route depends on quantity, shade requirements, packaging structure and printing method.

Plan the Palette Layout Compare Packaging Options

Custom Eyeshadow Palettes With Pictures, Names and Logos

For private label eyeshadow palettes, packaging is a key part of the project. Customers may customize the palette case, outer box, logo, shade names, ingredient text, barcode, label, sleeve, insert card, product instruction card, color layout, and printed design.

Brand logo and collection name
Photographs, illustrations, patterns and cover artwork
Shade names and product names
Ingredient text, barcode and required labels
Foil stamping, UV printing, embossing and holographic effects

Private label eyeshadow palette packaging design — Private label packaging requires clear confirmation of logo, layout, printed text, color direction and box structure.

Sample & Approval

Sample Development and Packaging Confirmation

Sample Making and Color Confirmation

Sample confirmation is one of the most important steps in custom eyeshadow production. For private label orders, samples help customers check shade accuracy, texture, powder smoothness, color payoff, pressed powder performance, packaging appearance, logo placement, and the overall palette effect.

Custom eyeshadow color samples reviewed under different angles — Physical samples are used to confirm color, shift, texture and application more accurately than screen images.

For simple projects, sample confirmation may be based on existing colors or available products. For more advanced projects, lab sampling may be required before bulk production.

If the customer has strict color requirements, we recommend confirming physical samples instead of relying only on photos. Screen brightness, lighting, camera settings, skin tone, and background can all affect how eyeshadow colors appear in pictures.

Once the customer confirms the sample, we use it as the reference for bulk production.

Available stock samples can normally be prepared within three days. Custom sample development generally takes 15–20 days, depending on the color, texture, palette and packaging requirements.

Logo, Packaging and Dieline Confirmation

A dieline is the flat layout of the packaging before printing. It shows the exact position of the logo, product name, text, pattern, barcode, and other design elements.

Custom printed eyeshadow palette packaging and dieline design — The dieline controls the position of the logo, text, barcode, artwork and folding structure before printing.

Before mass printing, the customer should carefully confirm the dieline file, including logo size, logo position, text spelling, ingredient information, shade names, color layout, printing direction, box folding structure, barcode, and label position.

Once the design file is confirmed, packaging materials can move into printing and production.

Final Project Confirmation Before Production

After the customer confirms the sample, colors, packaging, logo, quantity, and design files, the order can move into production preparation.

Approved custom eyeshadow palette artwork and packaging finish — Final colors, packaging, artwork, quantity and delivery requirements must match the approved project files.

Buyer Questions

Custom Eyeshadow Palette FAQ

Shimmer and metallic eyeshadow texture for custom palette development — Confirming product, packaging and commercial questions early helps the sample and production stages move more efficiently.

What is the MOQ for a custom eyeshadow palette?

A custom eyeshadow palette generally starts from 300 pieces. Lower-MOQ stock private label projects and individual specialty-effect shades use their dedicated service pages because their conditions differ from a custom palette project.

Can I order samples before bulk production?

Yes. Samples are recommended before bulk production, especially if you need to check eyeshadow texture, color payoff, packaging quality, or logo placement.

Can I choose my own eyeshadow colors?

Yes. Depending on the order quantity and project requirements, you can choose from available shades or request custom color development. For small orders, existing shades are usually more practical. For larger orders, custom color matching and lab sampling may be available.

Can I customize the packaging?

Yes. We support private label packaging, logo printing, outer box design, palette case options, shade names, labels, and other packaging elements. For custom printed packaging, a dieline file is usually required before production.

What is a packaging dieline?

A packaging dieline is the flat layout of the box or package before printing. It shows where the logo, text, barcode, pattern, and other design elements will be placed. Customers should confirm the dieline carefully before mass printing.

Can you match my reference eyeshadow color?

In many cases, yes. You can provide reference photos, Pantone numbers, or physical samples. Physical references are usually more accurate than photos because lighting and screen display can change how colors appear.

How long does the production process take?

Production time depends on the customization level, packaging requirements, sample approval, material preparation, and order quantity. Bulk production generally takes 35–40 days after final approval.

Do you support private label eyeshadow brands?

Yes. We support private label beauty brands when the project is a custom palette with selected shades, layout, artwork and packaging. Stock-only private label projects are handled on the dedicated Private Label Eyeshadow page.
