Materials
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene): Lightweight, dimensionally stable, impact-resistant, and fully compatible with decorative electroplating surface treatment
Two-piece cylindrical construction: slightly wider upper cap and straight lower base tube, joined at a clean diagonal parting line for a refined, architectural cap-to-base transition
Perfectly smooth, unembellished exterior surface on both cap and base — no moulding lines, texture, or surface decoration — presenting a flawless substrate for the mirror chrome finish and any subsequent branding application
Flat top cap face and flat base bottom for stable upright and inverted display
Mechanism
Standard rotating twist-up lipstick mechanism integrated into the base tube
Smooth, consistent bullet elevation and retraction with controlled torque for a premium tactile experience
Compatible with standard ɸ 12.1 mm lipstick bullet cups
Cap Retention
Friction-fit cap closure with positive seating click and clean removal action
Cap inner diameter precision-matched to base outer diameter for flush, gap-free closed appearance
Surface Finish
Multi-layer electroplating applied to all exterior surfaces of both cap and base: copper base coat + nickel mid layer + chrome top coat
Polished mirror chrome finish: jewellery-grade high-gloss reflective surface with no visible texture, brush marks, or surface variation
Full-body coverage across both cap and base exterior including the diagonal parting line transition zone
Note: Diameter, height, bullet size, mechanism type, cap retention method, finish, and branding are all fully customizable for OEM beauty brand and private label cosmetic packaging supply orders.
Key Advantages
Jewellery-Grade Mirror Chrome Packaging — Full-body polished chrome electroplating transforms the lipstick case into a luxury vanity object with the reflective presence of fine jewellery — delivering a level of tactile and visual premium that painted, lacquered, or metallised film alternatives cannot replicate.
Architectural Minimalist Form — The clean, unembellished cylindrical silhouette with a single diagonal parting line represents a deliberate design restraint — allowing the mirror chrome surface itself to be the sole design statement, with no decorative elements competing for visual attention.
Premium Branding Surface — The smooth, uninterrupted exterior of both cap and base provides an ideal substrate for laser engraving, hot stamping, UV printing, and pad printing, ensuring brand marks, product names, and limited edition graphics are rendered with maximum clarity and permanence on the chrome surface.
Consistent Mechanism Performance — Standard rotating twist-up mechanism delivers smooth, controlled bullet elevation with consistent torque throughout the product lifespan, meeting the tactile quality expectations of prestige cosmetic product lines.
Versatile Cosmetic Application — Compatible with standard lipstick, lip gloss balm, lip liner, and solid fragrance bullet formats across standard ɸ 12.1 mm cup sizing, enabling use across multiple product categories within a single packaging component.
Full OEM Customization — Outer diameter, total height, bullet size, mechanism type, cap retention, finish, branding method, and packaging can all be specified to match exact cosmetic brand, product line, and retail positioning requirements.

Manufacturing Process
Injection Molding — High-precision tooling produces cap and base components with perfectly consistent cylindrical wall thickness, smooth defect-free exterior surfaces, accurate internal mechanism housing geometry, and a clean diagonal parting line form at the cap-to-base junction.
Pre-Plate Polishing — Exterior cap and base surfaces are hand-polished prior to electroplating to eliminate any moulding surface marks, gate vestiges, or parting line steps, ensuring a perfectly smooth substrate for the final jewellery-grade 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.
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.
Mechanism Assembly — Chrome-plated base tube is assembled with the twist-up mechanism and verified for smooth bullet elevation, consistent torque, and accurate bullet retraction before cap fitting.
Cap Fit Verification — Cap is test-fitted onto the assembled base for flush closure alignment, positive seating click, and clean removal action before packaging.
Appearance & Function Inspection — Every case is inspected for chrome surface quality, parting line alignment, mechanism smoothness, cap fit, and overall appearance before packaging.
