Materials
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene): Lightweight, dimensionally stable, impact-resistant, and fully compatible with decorative electroplating surface treatment
Two-piece clamshell construction: domed upper lid and flat-profile lower base, joined by twin rear hinge pins for smooth, controlled open-close action
Smooth, uninterrupted exterior surface on both lid and base — no visible moulding lines, texture, or surface relief on the chrome-plated face
Large flat lid top face for laser engraving, UV printing, hot stamping, or embossed logo application
Latch Mechanism
Front-face push-button release latch integrated into the base front edge
Positive click-close action with firm retention when closed and clean single-press release
Latch button surface is fully chrome-plated to match the surrounding case body
Hinge
Twin rear hinge pins for smooth, stable lid arc throughout the full open-close travel
Hinge integrated flush into the rear case profile — no protruding hinge barrel on the exterior surface
Interior
Raw ABS interior finish (standard) — ready to accept cosmetic pan insert, mirror, or foam pad
Optional interior mirror insert: thin glass or acrylic mirror bonded to the interior lid face
Optional cosmetic pan: pressed powder, blush, or highlighter aluminium pan insert to specified diameter
Surface Finish
Multi-layer electroplating applied to all exterior surfaces: copper base coat + nickel mid layer + chrome top coat
Polished mirror chrome finish: jewellery-grade high-gloss reflective surface with no visible texture or brush marks
Latch button and hinge area chrome-plated to match main body finish
Note: Diameter, depth, interior pan size, hinge type, latch style, interior mirror, and finish are all fully customizable for OEM beauty brand and private label cosmetic supply orders.
Key Advantages
Jewellery-Grade Mirror Chrome Finish — Full-body polished chrome electroplating delivers a deep, flawless reflective surface that positions the compact as a luxury vanity accessory — far beyond the perceived quality of painted, lacquered, or foil-wrapped alternatives.
Premium Blank Canvas for Branding — The large, smooth, flat lid face is purpose-designed for laser engraving, UV printing, hot stamping, and embossed logo application, providing beauty brands with a high-impact, permanent branding surface on a premium chrome substrate.
Satisfying Tactile Experience — Dome-profile lid, smooth chrome surfaces, positive click-close latch, and controlled hinge action combine to deliver the premium haptic experience expected of luxury cosmetic packaging at point of use and unboxing.
Lightweight Despite Premium Appearance — ABS substrate delivers the visual weight and presence of a metal compact at a fraction of the actual weight, improving portability and reducing shipping costs without compromising on perceived quality.
Versatile Interior Configuration — Interior cavity accommodates standard cosmetic pan sizes for pressed powder, blush, highlighter, solid fragrance, and lip colour applications, with optional interior mirror insert for full vanity compact functionality.
Full OEM Customization — Outer diameter, lid dome height, interior pan size, hinge type, latch style, finish, branding method, and packaging can all be specified to match exact cosmetic brand and product line requirements.

Manufacturing Process
Injection Molding — High-precision tooling produces lid and base shell components with consistent wall thickness, smooth defect-free exterior surfaces, accurately positioned hinge pin sockets, and integrated latch mechanism housing.
Pre-Plate Polishing — Exterior lid and base surfaces are hand-polished prior to electroplating to eliminate any moulding surface marks, gate vestiges, or weld lines, ensuring a flawless substrate for the final mirror chrome finish.
Surface Preparation — Polished ABS parts undergo multi-stage chemical etching and activation treatment to ensure uniform electroplating adhesion across all exterior chrome surfaces including the latch button and hinge transition areas.
Multi-Layer Electroplating — Parts pass through a controlled plating line: copper base layer for micro-defect fill and surface levelling, semi-bright nickel for corrosion resistance, bright nickel for maximum reflectivity, followed by a jewellery-grade mirror chrome top coat.
Assembly — Chrome-plated lid and base are assembled with hinge pins and latch mechanism, verified for smooth open-close action, positive latch engagement, and flush lid-to-base alignment before any interior insert fitting.
Interior Finishing — Mirror insert bonding, cosmetic pan fitting, and foam pad placement are completed post-assembly as specified per OEM order configuration.
Appearance & Function Inspection — Every compact is inspected for chrome surface quality, latch click action, hinge smoothness, lid alignment, and interior finish before packaging.
