Korea's Cushion Compact Packaging Experts
Cushion compacts are a Korean-originated makeup dispensing format that holds liquid or cream foundation, skincare, and SPF formulas in a soaked sponge or mesh inner case, allowing for portable, mess-free application with a built-in puff. Samhwa operates a dedicated Cushion Specialty Center producing 13 cushion series in round, square, slim square, mini, dual-pan, pebble, and fashion keyring silhouettes, with fill volumes from 5g to 25g and refill insert options across sponge, mesh, and aluminum godet formats. Samhwa's patented double injection airtight construction keeps formula protected from oxidation and contamination between uses, while bi-injection builds and interchangeable inner cases give brands flexibility to develop refillable systems across multiple lines.
Blow Molded PET Bottles and Jars
In 2018, Samhwa expanded its manufacturing operations with dedicated blow molding facilities, extending over 40 years of cosmetic packaging expertise into PET bottle and jar production for both cosmetic and household markets. The stock range covers round, square, and large-capacity formats from 6.5mL to 500mL, suitable for toners, serums, essences, body lotions, shampoos, and cleansers. Matching closures and pumps are available across the full bottle and jar range, including options for plastic dropper bottles, serum bottle packaging, PET bottles with pumps, and plastic jars with lids, allowing brands to source complete packaging sets from a single Korean packaging supplier.
Premium Airless Packaging
Airless packaging is a cornerstone of Samhwa's expertise, rooted in deep technical knowledge built over three decades. Samhwa has been developing airless packaging technology since 1994, when the company commercialized Korea's first 35mL airless pump bottle, establishing a technical foundation that now spans one of the most comprehensive airless packaging portfolios in the Korean cosmetic packaging industry. Today, Samhwa's airless range covers mini containers from 4mL, standard pump bottles from 15–50mL, wide-body jumbo formats up to 200mL, square double-wall bottles, dual-chamber systems for two-formula dispensing, glass airless refillable bottles, and refillable airless compacts.
High Quality Stick Packaging
Stick packaging has established itself as a go-to format across skincare, makeup, fragrance, and body care, driven by demand for portability, hygienic application, and clean consumer experiences. Samhwa brings real innovation to the stick packaging category, with a portfolio that includes Korea's first refillable stick with interchangeable round and oval cartridges, precision application sticks with integrated grinding functionality, eco-friendly mono-material constructions, and distinctively shaped components engineered to stand apart on shelf. Available in both top-fill and bottom-fill configurations, Samhwa's development team can identify the right stick format for any formula, fill weight, or brand launch.
Sustainable Solutions for Every Component Type
Samhwa approaches sustainability as a flexible strategy, giving brands the option to reduce impact at the material, component, and system level. PCR resin is available across both PET and PP applications, spanning cushion compacts, airless bottles, sticks, PET blow bottles, and beyond, while mono-material PP constructions including the PP Cream Jar, Eco Jar, and Reflex Stick eliminate mixed-material separation at end of life. The metal-free pump options improve recyclability, while refill systems built into cushion, airless, cream jar, and stick formats reduce single-use packaging at the SKU level. Whether the priority is PCR content, lightweighting, mono-material design, or closed-loop refillability, Samhwa can help match a format to your sustainability goals.
Source Eco Packaging
All In-House System
Samhwa stands out as a leading Korean cosmetic packaging supplier through a fully integrated, all-in-house production system. Samhwa manages everything internally, from packaging development and mold making through injection molding, post-processing, assembly, and final inspection. This structure shortens production timelines, maintains consistent quality across every stage, and ensures that customer designs, mold specifications, and formulation data are never shared with or exposed to third-party manufacturers.
R&D: Research and Planning
Samhwa's R&D Center, established in 2011, handles product concept development, structural engineering, material specification, and prototype development entirely in-house, from initial drawings through 3D prototyping and tooling design. This keeps development cycles tight and enables rapid iteration on both stock and custom formats.
Mold Making and Injection
Samhwa operates electric injection presses, hydraulic presses, double injection presses, and injection blow molding equipment, with all molds built in-house for full control over tolerances, cycle times, and tooling maintenance.
Decoration and Assembly
Post-processing capabilities include spray coating, internal coating, vacuum deposition, printing, and heat shrink sleeve application, all supported by automatic, semi-automatic, and manual assembly lines managed under the same roof as injection to ensure color, finish, and fit are verified against production parts before shipment.
The Eye Patch Grinder
The Samhwa Eye Patch Grinder is a grind-dispensing skincare container engineered to keep hydrogel eye patches fresh, hygienic, and ready to use. A precision grinding mechanism cuts a single patch per application without exposing remaining product to air or contamination between uses, eliminating the need to open the container repeatedly and ensuring maximum formula freshness with every use. No tools required, no liquid formula on hands, and no excess dispensed — just the right amount, every time. Zero-residue dispensing and an all-PP mono-material construction make it one of the cleanest sustainable formats in the eye care space.
Deodorant and Multi Use Stick Packaging
Samhwa produces a comprehensive range of cosmetic stick packaging designed for lip balms, lipsticks, concealers, foundations, highlighters, sunscreens, skincare serums, and deodorants. The lineup spans push-up, airtight, zero-residual, and top-fill and bottom-fill formats from 8g to 65g. Samhwa also offers mono-material and refillable multi-use deodorant packaging sticks for brands looking for sustainable solutions across face and body care applications.
Grind-Release Packaging Across Every Format
Grind-dispensing technology delivers a fundamentally more hygienic application experience, portioning formula precisely at the moment of use while keeping the remaining product sealed, unexposed, and protected from degradation. While the grinding balm jar has gone viral and captured the most attention in beauty, Samhwa has extended this mechanism across a full range of formats: spot patch, cheek, and lip grinders for targeted skincare and color applications; 50mL and 100mL grinding jars for balms and treatment formulas; a 20mL grinding compact for on-the-go and cosmetic use; and grinding stick components for solid formula delivery. Across every format, the same benefit holds true — mess-free dispensing, zero contamination, and formula that stays fresh from first use to last.
