Liquid or cream filling
Route free-flowing liquids, oils, lotions and creams to a filling platform selected by viscosity, foaming, particulates and container stability.
Cosmetic packaging equipment for B2B production
Cosmetic Packaging Machines Built Around Your Product and Pack
Select a filling, sealing or integrated packaging route by matching formulation behavior, container geometry, closure, output target, cleaning method, inspection plan and downstream interfaces.
Fastest route to a useful proposal: send the product, sample containers and closures, fill range, target output, utilities, available floor space and required documentation.
Quick selection answer
What Type of Cosmetic Packaging Machine Do You Need?
Use the primary pack and product behavior to choose the machine family. The final pump, hopper, closing method, inspection and automation level must be tested against actual samples.
Fill, heat and seal
Use a tube filler when the process requires tube loading, registration, dosing, hot-air sealing, trimming, coding and discharge.
Plastic ampoule forming
Use a form-fill-seal route when the pack is formed from rollstock, filled, heat sealed and cut into the specified ampoule format.
Sachets or wet wipes
Define web, seal pattern, dose or wipe fold, liquid addition, registration, coding and downstream packing before selecting the platform.
Do not choose by catalog speed alone. A defensible comparison uses the same product, container, closure, fill range, rejection logic and acceptance test.

Move from Packaging Format to the Right Equipment Page
Cosmetic filling machines
For bottles and jars containing liquids, lotions, creams or oils.
Liquid filling
For lower-viscosity products where pump choice, foaming control and container handling govern the line.
Cream filling
For viscous or temperature-sensitive products that may require product feeding, agitation or heating.
Tube filling and sealing
For plastic or laminated tubes that require filling, orientation, hot-air sealing and trimming.
Cosmetic ampoules
For formed unit-dose plastic packs used for serums, treatments and suitable liquids.
Sachets and wet wipes
For flexible-pack applications where web control, sealing and product presentation define the process.
Documented reference platforms
Two Verified Starting Points for Tube and Plastic Ampoule Projects
These figures describe the referenced models in HIJ source documents. They are not universal promises; final performance and configuration depend on the agreed sample and URS.
Automatic plastic tube filling and sealing
- Documented operating speed: 30–50 tubes/min
- Documented filling range: 5–250 ml
- Documented tube diameter: 13–50 mm
- PLC and touch-screen control; hot-air sealing process
Plastic ampoule liquid filling and sealing
- Documented filling range: 0.3–200 ml
- Five filling heads in the referenced configuration
- Documented forming depth: up to 12 mm
- Rollstock release, forming, filling, sealing, cutting and discharge
Verification boundary: send representative product and packaging samples before treating any range or output as an acceptance criterion.
Product-to-pack matrix
Match the Dosing and Closing Method to the Real Product
| Buyer input | Why it changes the machine | What HIJ needs to evaluate |
|---|---|---|
| Flow behavior | Free-flowing, foaming, viscous or particle-bearing products require different feeding and dosing approaches. | Product sample, viscosity range, temperature and particulate behavior. |
| Primary container | Bottles, jars, tubes, plastic ampoules, sachets and wipe packs use different handling and closing processes. | Dimensioned drawings plus production samples. |
| Closure and seal | Screw caps, pumps, droppers, tube seals and heat-sealed webs create different torque, heat and inspection requirements. | Closure samples, seal specification and leak-test method. |
| Fill range | A wide fill range can change pump sizing, nozzle design, recipe strategy and change parts. | Nominal fills, tolerances and density for every SKU. |
| Presentation | Print registration, label position, batch coding and cosmetic finish affect sensors and acceptance criteria. | Approved artwork, registration marks and defect limits. |
URS before quotation
Define Eight Inputs Before Comparing Suppliers
1. Product
Formula family, viscosity range, temperature, foaming, settling and cleaning constraints.
2. Pack
Container, closure, material, drawings, tolerances, artwork and representative samples.
3. Output
Required sustained production by SKU, not only an unloaded mechanical maximum.
4. Accuracy
Specified test method, sample size, product conditions and acceptance limits.
5. Changeover
SKU matrix, tooling, recipe control, cleaning steps and acceptable downtime.
6. Inspection
Presence, level, code, label, seal or closure checks and linked reject logic.
7. Utilities
Power, air, water, exhaust, temperature control and available line footprint.
8. Documents
Drawings, manuals, parts lists, certificates, FAT records and qualification support.
Line-level engineering
Specify the Interfaces, Not Only the Filling Machine
A cosmetic packaging line can include product feeding, container infeed, dosing, closing, coding, inspection, rejection, labeling, cartoning and case packing. Each transfer point needs an agreed control and recovery method.
- Upstream buffer and container orientation
- Product supply pressure, level control and recirculation
- Closure feeding and low-level alarms
- Inspection-to-reject tracking and reject confirmation
- Downstream accumulation, labeling and cartoning interfaces
- Line stop, restart and product recovery sequence
Hygiene and changeover
Make Cleaning and SKU Changeover Testable
“Easy to clean” and “quick changeover” are not acceptance criteria. Convert both into named parts, documented steps and observable tests.
Product-contact boundary
Identify every hopper, hose, pump, valve and nozzle that contacts product. State removal, access and cleaning method for each part.
SKU change matrix
List the exact container, closure, fill and artwork changes. Define which parts, settings and recipes change between each pair of SKUs.
Acceptance evidence
During FAT, record the agreed cleaning demonstration and changeover sequence using buyer samples and trained operators.
Procurement boundary: hygienic suitability depends on the actual formula, cleaning chemistry, contact materials and risk assessment. Confirm these in the approved specification.
FAT acceptance plan
Turn the Quotation into an Executable Acceptance Test
Run with agreed samples
- Named product or qualified substitute
- Production containers, closures and web
- Defined run duration and operating window
- Agreed sample size for measurements
Record measurable results
- Output and downtime causes
- Fill or dose verification
- Seal, closure, code and label checks
- Reject challenge and recovery test
- Changeover and cleaning observations
Contract rule: reference the approved URS, final drawings, sample set, test method and deviation process in the purchase contract. Marketing language should not replace acceptance criteria.

Procurement FAQ
Cosmetic Packaging Machine Questions
What is a cosmetic packaging machine?
It is industrial equipment used to fill, close, seal, code, inspect, label or pack cosmetic and personal-care products. The correct machine family depends on the formulation, primary container, closure and required production process.
Which machine is suitable for cosmetic creams and lotions?
Creams and lotions normally require a filling platform chosen around viscosity, temperature, product feeding, foaming and the container or tube. A representative product sample and packaging samples are needed before the pump, hopper and nozzle configuration can be confirmed.
Can one machine run bottles, jars and tubes?
These formats usually require different handling and closing processes. Some filling platforms can cover several bottle or jar sizes with change parts, while tubes normally require a dedicated filling and sealing machine. Define the complete SKU matrix before assuming one platform can run every pack.
What information is needed for a cosmetic packaging machine quotation?
Provide product characteristics, fill range, container and closure drawings, samples, target sustained output, utilities, footprint, inspection requirements, changeover expectations and documentation scope.
How should cosmetic packaging machine output be compared?
Compare suppliers using the same product, pack, fill range, operators, run duration and acceptance method. Distinguish sustained finished output from an unloaded mechanical maximum.
What should be tested during FAT?
FAT should cover the agreed operating sequence, output, fill or dose verification, closing or seal quality, coding, inspection and rejection, alarms, recovery, changeover and the required documentation using the approved sample set.
