What labelling is required for dangerous goods? Flammability labels (dangerous goods labelling) and ingredient labels (compliance) for nail varnish (containing solvents): classification for sea and air transport must follow the regulations; the warning ‘Keep away from sources of ignition’ must be printed. For dangerous goods compliance, check the transport regulations before dispatch.
What should be included in a gift set? Nail care gift sets (sets, festive editions): colour box + compartmentalised inner tray + colour chart insert; “Nail care + Eyelash” combination sets are marketed as festive gifts. The appeal of gift sets lies in the concept of “a complete beauty transformation in one set”.
How should false eyelashes be packaged? False eyelashes should be packaged using cardstock + a windowed box (see examples), with eyelash glue (small bottles) in separate compartments; a ‘application guide’ (illustrated) card must be printed. The key detail for eyelash extensions is that they should be ‘ready to use straight out of the box’.
How should bottled products be protected? Cushioning for nail varnish bottles (glass bottles): bottles in individual compartments (blister packs or paper trays), with lids facing upwards (to prevent leakage); a ‘leak-proof’ test (by inverting the bottle) must be carried out. Verification of bottled products shall be based on the principle of ‘no spillage, no leakage’.
Nail and eyelash extensions are a business of ‘colour and style’: the accuracy of colour charts, whether bottle caps leak, and whether styles are clearly displayed — the packaging serves as both a shelf display and a colour chart. This article clearly explains the issues surrounding nail and eyelash extension packaging, providing direct practical guidance for clients in the beauty industry.
How should colour charts be produced? Colour representation for nail varnish (colour charts, swatch boards): colour charts must be accurate (colour matching in printing), and bottle labelling (colour codes, product names) must be correct; ‘true-to-life colour representation’ (test swatches) is a bonus. When it comes to the details of colour charts, the principle of ‘what you see is what you get’ applies.
