Workload peaks
We assess batches you would like to outsource when your filling or packaging department is busy.
DKLAB · CONTRACT FILLING & PACKAGING
Filling and packaging for cosmetic laboratories.
You develop the product. We complete the process.
We support laboratories that formulate and manufacture bulk products by handling the agreed filling and packaging stages. Support for individual batches, workload peaks and recurring production.
WHEN WE CAN HELP
When to outsource filling and packaging
Specific operations
Share the format and operations you need: we assess work you do not handle in-house, including aluminium tubes.
Recurring production
We can assess an ongoing arrangement for repeat orders and SKUs, agreeing working methods and scheduling together.
THE SCOPE OF OUR PARTNERSHIP
Processing your laboratory's bulk and packaging
From your specifications to the packaged batch.
Your bulk product and chosen components are our starting point. Together we define filling, packaging and finishing through to batch preparation. The quotation identifies the operations assigned to DKLab and the agreed checks.
- Filling with customer-supplied bulk and packaging
- Packaging and finishing to project specifications
- Traceability and processing records
- Agreed preparation for dispatch
A SIMPLE START. A CLEAR AGREEMENT.

LABORATORY QUESTIONS
Questions from cosmetic laboratories
Can we outsource just one stage?
Yes. The project can cover filling, packaging or a combination of operations. The scope is defined in the quotation.
Can we send bulk and packaging directly?
Customer-supplied materials are welcome. Before dispatch, we agree specifications, quantities, batch identification and delivery arrangements.
Can we establish an ongoing partnership?
We can assess both individual projects and recurring requirements. Quantities, scheduling and terms are agreed according to the work involved.
Do we need to name our client straight away?
For an initial discussion, you can describe production needs without naming the end brand. Any information required for processing will be agreed later.
