How Long Does OEM Lipstick Production Take?

OEM lipstick production time depends on how custom the formula and packaging are. Buyers can shorten the timeline by preparing references and approving samples quickly.

Short answer: existing formulas and stock packaging are usually faster. Fully custom formula, custom tube or complex artwork can add more sampling and packaging time.
