Molded Fiber Foundation & Powder Compact Insert

Inserts formed around the compact hinge

A compact is the one cosmetic case a customer expects to open before buying. If the insert grips the case in the wrong place, the lid either cannot swing or snaps shut again - and the pack fails at the shelf.

We form compact inserts around the case's hinge line and its widest point, so the tray holds the body while leaving the lid arc clear:

• Hinge clearance moulded into the cavity wall, allowing the lid to open past 90 degrees with the case still in the tray.
• Body grip at the shell sides rather than across the mirror, which is the surface that shows every fingerprint and scuff.
• Finger relief at both narrow ends, so a compact can be lifted out one-handed.
• Depth control matched to the closed case height, keeping the tray thin enough for a folding carton.

Compact cases vary more than they look: a click-latch, a magnetic closure and a screw-fit case all need different grip positions. Send us the actual case, not just a diameter, and we will place the contact points where they will not fight the mechanism.

MOQ 10,000 pieces per design; tooling 7–15 days, production 15–25 days after sample approval. Also see the personal care packaging range, or send us a case sample.
