Private Label Lip Liner Manufacturing
MOQ from 1,000 pcs by format · GMPC + ISO 22716 · US FDA registered
Lip liner is the attach-rate champion of lip collections — every lipstick sale suggests one. The format decision is between creamy glide (comfort, blending) and transfer-proof firmness (edge lock), and the mechanism between classic wooden pencils and premium retractable twist-up pens.
We manufacture both mechanisms through our Guangzhou pencil partners with cores matched to your lipstick shades — the single most important spec, since mismatched liner is the top complaint in this category. Clear liner and universal nude are stock cores for brands that want one SKU to fit every shade.

One Aggregation Partner, Specialized Lines
This lips category runs through vetted partner lines in Guangzhou that specialize in it — not a generalist factory doing everything adequately. We select the line, manage the Golden Sample, and verify every batch.
Our core facility (Guangdong Kuaiying Biotechnology, license 粤妆20250206) operates GMPC and ISO 22716-certified production with batch traceability. Every order ships with certificate of analysis, stability summary and MoCRA/CPNP-ready documentation — the compliance pack your retail or regulatory review will ask for.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MOQ for lip liners?
1,000 pcs per shade on our stock mechanisms. Specialty pencil mechanisms carry their own supplier minimums — we quote the exact floor per project. A shade family of 4-6 liners is the standard launch set and prices better per unit.
Can the liner shades match our lipstick collection exactly?
Yes — send your lipstick shades or swatches and we develop matched cores. Matched liner + lipstick pairs are the highest attach-rate combination in lip merchandising.
Retractable or wooden — which should we launch?
Retractable suits mass-to-masstige positioning (convenience, no sharpener) and costs slightly more; wooden suits natural/artistic positioning with lower unit cost. We recommend launching retractable first for Western DTC audiences.
