Start with Stock Tooling

How Stock Tooling and Packaging Can Help Your Business Succeed

Not sure if stock tooling options are right for your brand? While we are big fans of custom components, Pacific Packaging Components has a wide variety of stock tooling options for bottles, jars, tubes, closures, and dispensing closures that are perfect for businesses in the beauty, personal care, and skincare industries. But what exactly is stock tooling? We’ll explain what it is and why it could be the right option for your business.

What Is Stock Tooling?

Stock tooling is non-customized tooling available to all brands and is not considered “proprietary” except to the manufacturer that owns the tooling. In effect, you’ve probably seen two different beauty brands using the same exact bottle shape, volume, and style — these brands used the stock tool for that bottle. Stock tooling requires zero design investment (except for perhaps silkscreen plates) or additional manufacturing process and thus allows for lower initial investments, smaller minimum order quantities, and shorter leadtimes than custom tooling does.

Our Range Of Stock Tooling Options

Pacific Packaging Components offers a diverse range of stock tooling shapes and sizes that include PET, HDPE, LDPE, PP, aluminum, and glass. We offer stock sizes from 5ml and range up to 32oz with shapes including slim, squat, tall, round, square, cylinder—and many more! We have something to fit almost any product on the market today. Keep in mind that we do not keep all options “stocked” in our warehouse — and normal production leadtimes of 4-8 weeks before goods are ready to ship still apply. If you are looking for stock “ready to ship” options, you may consider searching through online packaging retailers.

Why Choose Stock Tooling?

For most businesses in the beauty, personal care and skincare industries investing in custom tooling may not make fiscal sense if they want to keep their costs down while still having an attractive packaging design that works well with their products. Customized designs require much more money upfront as well as higher minimum order quantities (MOQs) which can be prohibitively expensive for some businesses just starting out. With stock tooling, there is a great chance you will find something in our world-wide packaging options that fits your desired aesthetic and cost.

At Pacific Packaging Components we understand how important it is for businesses in the beauty industry to have attractive packaging solutions that match their brand identity while keeping cost low. That’s why we offer a wide selection of stock toolings in various shapes and sizes so you can find something that fits your needs without breaking the bank. Whether you choose custom or stock tools depends on your budget as well as your particular requirements but either way our team is here to help you through every step of the process so don’t hesitate to contact us if you need any assistance!
