01 / SHAPE SELECTION

Find the right shape for your formula.

Start with the application. Then match the profile to the formula, package and production process.

Different lipstick tip profiles for shape selection

STEP 01

Define the application

A lipstick tip, broad blush surface and slim concealer stick solve different application needs. Share how the user should apply the product and which areas it is intended for.

STEP 02

Provide the dimensions

Include cross-section, overall length, exposed length, tip geometry and the base interface. For trays, provide container outer dimensions and real tube samples.

STEP 03

Review formula and release

Share the formula type and your established filling process. Geometry alone cannot confirm release behavior; a trial with the intended formula may be needed.

STEP 04

Agree the acceptance criteria

Define what will be checked: dimensions, visible surface, release, fit and filling workflow. Confirm these with the supplier before approving the production tooling.

Apply this to your tooling.

This is general preparation guidance. The approved instructions for your mold material, coating, formula and production procedure take priority.
