Artikore secures fit-for-purpose packaging for beauty SKUs by aligning design intent, unit economics, and supply resilience.

It sources bottles, jars, pumps, droppers, airless, tubes, compacts, applicators, cartons, and labels; benchmarks vendors on cost, MOQs, lead times, and finish quality, and manages color/decoration to brand standards. Compatibility and performance are validated through leak/drop/torque/viscosity tests, while alternates are pre-qualified to protect timelines.

Artwork, dielines, and pack-out specs are controlled with versioning, and a T&A calendar links tooling, color standards, golden samples, and production bookings.

The result is packaging that meets spec, margin, and schedule with clear backups and fewer late-stage surprises.

Deliverables

  • Component matrix & BOM: options with specs, MOQs, price breaks, and lead times by vendor

  • Quote & benchmark pack: comparable cost tables (FOB → landed) and market references

  • Tooling & color program: mold/insert plan, master standards, drawdowns, and approval flow

  • Compatibility & performance reports: leak, drop, torque, wear/abrasion, and dosing consistency

  • QC checklists: incoming, in-process, and pre-shipment criteria for components and decorated parts

  • Artwork & dieline kit: version-controlled dielines, labeling rules, barcode/carton markings, pack-out specs

  • Alternates & risk register: pre-approved substitutes and mitigation plans (EOL, shortage, surge)

  • T&A calendar: milestones from sampling to golden sample to bulk delivery, with buffers and owners

KPIs We Drive

  • Cost vs. benchmark: variance to should-cost and market reference

  • Lead-time adherence: on-time component readiness vs. T&A milestones

  • First-pass approval rate: drawdown/standard/golden-sample approvals on first cycle

  • Defect rate: incoming component defects (critical/major/minor) and trend reduction

  • Compatibility pass rate: % of components passing leak/torque/viscosity/interaction tests

  • Artwork error rate: incidence of print/label/dieline errors per batch

  • Alternate coverage: % of critical components with validated substitutes

  • Scrap/rework reduction: quarter-over-quarter decrease tied to component issues
