How to design face oil bottle packaging

Face oils are the hardest product to keep a label looking good on. Oil creeps under label edges, turns uncoated paper translucent and can soften adhesives that were never meant for it. The bottle is usually the same family as a serum bottle (a 30 ml glass round with a dropper), but the materials around the label need much more care.

There is also a trade-off between showing and protecting the product. Rosehip, sea buckthorn and blue tansy oils have colours worth showing off, yet plant oils oxidise in light. Most brands land on tinted glass and use the label, rather than the liquid, to carry the colour story.

Design tips

  • Specify oil resistance in the print brief. Name it in writing: face stock, adhesive and finish all need to hold up to oil. Film labels with an oil-rated adhesive are the safe default. If you want the feel of paper, seal it with a laminate.
  • Stop the label short of the shoulder. Oil runs down from the dropper and gathers where the shoulder meets the body. A label whose top edge sits a little below the shoulder has fewer drips sitting on its edge.
  • Name the hero oils in plain words. Face oil buyers read the oil list. Put the two or three key oils on the front, for example "rosehip, squalane, jojoba", and keep the full INCI list for the back or the box.
  • Use colour on the label when the glass hides the oil. If the bottle is amber or violet, a swatch, illustration or ink colour on the label can stand in for the colour of the oil inside.
  • Proof the label with your own oil. Put a drop of the actual blend on a printed sample and leave it for a week. Check the ink, the edges and the adhesive before you approve the print run.

[FAQ]

Questions, answered.

What label material works best on a face oil bottle?

A film face stock (polypropylene or polyethylene) with an adhesive rated for oils, or a paper label sealed with a laminate or a heavy varnish. Ask your printer specifically for oil resistance; a standard paper label with a general-purpose adhesive tends to stain and can start to lift at the edges.

What size bottle do face oils come in?

Face oils are mostly sold in 30 ml, sometimes 15 ml for potent blends. Body and hair oils move up to 50 and 100 ml. The sizes table gives the height, diameter and label band of our 30, 50 and 100 ml reference bottles.

Why are most face oils sold in dark glass?

Plant oils oxidise when exposed to light, heat and air, and oxidised oil smells off and loses the qualities it was bought for. Amber, cobalt and violet glass cut down the light reaching the oil. Clear glass shows the colour, but ask your formulator whether the blend can take it.

How much room is there for a wrap-around label on a 30 ml face oil bottle?

Our 30 ml reference bottle is 33 mm across, which gives a circumference of about 103.7 mm and a 72.7 mm tall band. A full wrap is usually cut slightly shorter than the circumference so the two ends meet with a small gap rather than overlapping on a curved, oily surface.

Dropper or pump for a face oil?

A dropper suits oils used a few drops at a time and fits the ritual most buyers expect. A pump is cleaner and stops the dropper dripping down the bottle, but it doses more per press. Pump bottles are not in the Packgami engine yet; they are on our coming-soon list.
