What Is a Private Label Sheet Mask?
When people ask us what a private label sheet mask is, we like to explain it this way: it’s a ready-made or custom-developed skincare product that you can sell under your brand—without ever needing to own a lab, build a factory, or hire your own chemist. We take care of all the behind-the-scenes production work, and you focus on what really matters to your business: building a brand your customers trust and love.
For example, let’s say you want to launch a soothing sheet mask made with Centella Asiatica and green tea. You don’t have to formulate it yourself. You can choose from an existing formula we’ve already tested, or we can co-develop something new just for you. Once the formula is locked in, we’ll help you select the mask material (cotton, hydrogel, bio-cellulose—whatever fits your brand), fill it with your serum, seal it in branded packaging, and ship it out ready to sell.
From the end customer’s point of view, it’s your product. Your name is on the pouch, the box, the social media ads. But behind the scenes, it’s been carefully manufactured in a professional, certified facility using standardized processes and safety testing. That’s the beauty of private label—you don’t need to reinvent the wheel to deliver a high-quality product.
Private label sheet masks are commonly used by all types of brands. We’ve seen everyone from DTC startups on Shopify, to Amazon sellers, to spa clinics and chain retailers take this route. Some are launching their very first SKU. Others are expanding a full skincare line or creating limited edition drops to ride a seasonal trend. Private label is flexible like that.
The best part? You don’t need to be a cosmetics expert to get started. We’re here to support you with ingredient advice, regulatory compliance, packaging ideas—even helping you understand what’s trending in your target market. You bring the brand vision, we help bring it to life in a format that’s proven to sell.
So in short: a private label sheet mask is your own branded product, professionally made, and fully ready for the market. It’s fast to launch, affordable to scale, and lets you stay focused on building real relationships with your customers—without getting stuck in the technical side of production.
The 4 Most Common Sheet Mask Materials (and When to Use Each)
One thing we always emphasize to new and experienced skincare brands alike: the material of your sheet mask matters just as much as the serum inside. It’s the part that touches the skin, shapes the user’s experience, and sets the tone for how premium—or basic—your product feels.
When we’re helping brands choose the right material, we’re not just thinking about texture or price. We’re thinking about your audience, the purpose of the mask, how it photographs, how it absorbs, and how it aligns with your brand’s values—like sustainability or clinical performance.
Here are the four most popular materials we work with, and how we help clients decide which one is the right fit.
- Cotton / Nonwoven Fiber
We often describe cotton and nonwoven fiber masks as the “gateway” option. They’re simple, versatile, and cost-effective—perfect for brands that are either launching their first sheet mask or targeting a wide audience at a low to mid-tier price point.
What makes this material so accessible is that it works with most serum viscosities and holds a generous amount of essence. It has a familiar feel—what many customers would expect from a basic hydrating mask. You’ll find these in many drugstore lines, K-beauty multipacks, or starter kits.
However, it’s not the most luxurious option. The texture is slightly rougher compared to premium materials, and it doesn’t adhere as tightly to the face. But if you’re aiming to keep costs down or launch a mask for sampling, gifting, or bundling—this is often the smartest place to start.
- Tencel / Cupra (Biodegradable Plant-Based Fibers)
Tencel and Cupra are our go-to recommendations for brands that want their product to feel soft, sustainable, and a little more elevated—without jumping into luxury price territory.
These materials are made from plant-based cellulose fibers and are 100% biodegradable, which makes them a popular choice for clean beauty, eco-conscious, and minimalist skincare brands. They’re super gentle on the skin, have a smooth, almost silk-like texture, and conform well to facial curves.
From a technical point of view, Tencel holds onto serum beautifully and doesn’t dry out too fast. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and rarely causes irritation. So if you’re building a daily-use mask line or want to offer a clean formulation in equally clean packaging, this material gives you that elevated, ethical edge—without overwhelming your budget.
- Hydrogel
Hydrogel is where we see a lot of brands leveling up. If your goal is to offer a more immersive or “treatment-like” experience—think relaxing spa days, anti-aging self-care nights, or premium gifting—hydrogel is a fantastic choice.
This material looks and feels totally different from traditional fiber masks. It’s semi-transparent, cool to the touch, and slightly bouncy in texture. It also adheres beautifully to the skin—it doesn’t drip, it doesn’t fall off, and it almost melts into the face as it warms up.
Hydrogel masks are especially effective for active ingredients like peptides, collagen, and ceramides. Since the material creates an occlusive barrier, it helps drive ingredients deeper into the skin. And from a branding standpoint? These masks look stunning in product photos and unboxing videos.
The tradeoff is cost—they’re more expensive to produce, both in terms of materials and packaging. But for brands targeting spa clients, mature skin, or high-end ecommerce customers, it’s a format that signals value and care instantly.
- Bio-Cellulose
This is the material we recommend when performance is the absolute top priority. Bio-cellulose is made from fermented coconut or other natural sugars, and it’s incredibly fine—thinner than cotton, more flexible than Tencel, and even more skin-hugging than hydrogel.
We like to call it the “second skin” mask. It wraps the face so closely that it doesn’t lift, bubble, or slide—even if you’re talking or moving around. That makes it ideal for clinical skincare, post-treatment recovery (like lasers or microneedling), and any brand targeting sensitive or barrier-compromised skin.
From a functional view, bio-cellulose offers excellent serum retention, slow evaporation, and intense delivery of active ingredients. You’ll find it used in medical spas, dermatology brands, and high-end lines that prioritize results over price.
It’s definitely a premium option—but for clients looking to offer real performance and create a product that competes with top-tier brands, it’s more than worth the investment.
How We Help Brands Decide
When you’re choosing a mask material, we always start by asking:
- Who’s your customer?
- What’s their skin concern?
- How often will they use this mask?
- What’s your ideal price range?
- Where will it be sold—online, in a spa, in a retail box?
Once we understand your positioning, we can guide you toward the material that feels right for your formula, your audience, and your brand story.
Most In-Demand Functional Types of Sheet Masks
When we work with brands—whether they’re launching their first SKU or expanding a full skincare line—one of the first things we do is help map out what kind of sheet mask their customers are actually searching for. And I don’t mean in a general “hydrating vs brightening” sense—I mean digging into the data, the pain points, and the trends that are driving actual product decisions in the market right now.
From what we’ve seen across DTC, spa retail, Amazon, and global distribution partners, these eight types of sheet masks consistently perform well. They represent real skincare goals and fit naturally into today’s user routines. Here’s how we talk clients through them:
- Hydrating Masks (Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol)
If there’s one category that’s always safe to lead with, it’s hydration. A good hydrating mask is almost universally loved—it serves dry skin, sensitive skin, combination skin, and even oily skin that’s been stripped by actives.
We usually build these formulas around multi-weight hyaluronic acid, panthenol, or glycerin, sometimes with added ceramides or tremella mushroom extract for barrier repair. For brands who want a daily-use or “anytime” product that keeps customers coming back, a hydration mask is your anchor SKU.
We’ve seen these perform especially well in post-cleansing routines, skin prep before makeup, and rehydration after travel or sun exposure. And because the benefit is so easy to feel instantly, it tends to generate strong reviews and reorders.
- Brightening Masks (Niacinamide, Vitamin C)
When your customer is dealing with dullness, uneven skin tone, or lingering acne scars, a brightening mask is their glow-up moment. We often work with actives like niacinamide, ascorbyl glucoside (a stable form of vitamin C), licorice root, and arbutin—all of which help gently even tone and boost radiance without irritating the skin.
These masks are huge in markets where “glass skin” and luminosity are central to the beauty conversation—think K-beauty inspired brands, TikTok-fueled skincare, and Gen Z-friendly kits. We usually recommend a silky, fast-absorbing serum base here that layers well under SPF or makeup.
- Firming & Anti-Aging Masks (Collagen, Peptides, Q10)
If your brand caters to customers over 30—or if you’re creating a clinical, high-efficacy line—then a firming or anti-aging mask is a must. These are the masks that support skin structure, elasticity, and bounce. We typically formulate with hydrolyzed collagen, matrixyl peptides, retinol derivatives, or coenzyme Q10.
This category works well in hydrogel or bio-cellulose formats, where occlusion can improve delivery. Customers are looking for results they can see—like smoother lines or firmer jawlines—so we also focus on serum viscosity and finish to enhance that immediate “tightened” feel.
For retail, this type of mask often lives in the $5–$10 per unit range and sells best in multipacks or spa-branded SKUs.
- Soothing & Barrier Repair Masks (Centella Asiatica, Allantoin)
Every brand needs a skin-soothing SKU. Whether it’s for post-treatment care, sensitive skin, or barrier repair, these masks build trust with customers because they calm the skin without drama. We formulate with CICA (Centella Asiatica), allantoin, madecassoside, beta-glucan, and green tea extract.
These are especially popular in clinic back-bar treatments, post-sun routines, and acne recovery packs. We always recommend pairing these formulas with a low-scent or fragrance-free profile and a breathable mask material like Tencel or bio-cellulose.
We’ve also seen great success when clients position these as part of a recovery set—paired with exfoliating masks or vitamin C serums to help balance the customer’s total regimen.
- Pore-Clearing & Detox Masks (AHA/BHA, Tea Tree, Charcoal)
Not every customer wants dewy glow—some want to purge. These masks are for customers with congested pores, blackheads, or oily T-zones. We often combine salicylic acid, glycolic acid, tea tree oil, charcoal, or volcanic ash to create a powerful weekly detox mask.
These masks do well on platforms like Amazon and TikTok where “visible effect” videos go viral. We usually recommend a clear serum base or even a black-tinted formula for visual appeal. They’re best suited for once-a-week routines and often come with advisory notes for sensitive skin users.
- Overnight Hydrogel Masks (Ceramides, Squalane)
Overnight sheet masks are increasingly popular with minimalist and time-starved customers. These masks stay on longer—sometimes up to 30–60 minutes or even overnight—and are often made with hydrogel or gel-essence substrates to hold moisture in without drying out.
We typically use deeply nourishing ingredients here like ceramides, squalane, and sleep-safe peptides. These masks are especially loved in colder climates or for winter skincare sets. If your brand is creating a sleep-focused or self-care themed SKU, this is the perfect fit.
- Snail Mucin Repair Masks (Snail Secretion Filtrate)
Despite the initial hesitation some customers may have, snail mucin is still a hero ingredient globally—especially in Asia, the U.S., and parts of Europe. It’s loved for its ability to hydrate, heal, and improve skin texture.
Snail masks are typically targeted at skin renewal, acne scarring, and anti-aging in younger users. We often pair mucin with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and allantoin for a soothing yet active combo.
Brands looking to create something unique but proven often find that snail mucin lets them tap into K-beauty credibility without reinventing the wheel.
- V-Line & Targeted Zone Masks (Jawline, Eyes, Forehead)
Not every mask needs to be full-face. In fact, targeted zone masks—especially V-line chin masks, under-eye patches, and forehead spot masks—are exploding in ecommerce thanks to their visual appeal and perceived results.
We usually formulate these with firming agents like caffeine, retinol, gold, or peptides, depending on the zone. They’re great for brands with a high social media presence, spa services that need retail add-ons, or Amazon sellers building out bundled kits.
These masks also offer higher margins and repeat usage, especially when sold in multipacks or included in routines like “face-lifting sets” or “eye rescue kits.”
Wrapping It Up
When you’re planning a sheet mask line, don’t think in terms of one-size-fits-all. Every type of mask solves a different problem for a different user at a different point in their skincare journey. The more you understand what your customer needs and how they shop, the easier it is to build a line that connects—and sells.
We’ve worked with brands who started with just one of these and later scaled into full functional collections. You don’t have to do them all at once—but choosing the right one to start with? That’s where the magic begins.
When to Choose Stock Formulas vs. Custom Development
One of the most common questions we get—especially from first-time founders or fast-scaling beauty teams—is: Should we go with a stock formula, or invest in custom development? And honestly, it’s a great question. The answer really comes down to where your brand is right now, what kind of product you want to launch, and how fast you need to go to market.
We’ve worked with both startup founders who needed to move quickly with a pre-formulated mask, and experienced skincare brands that required deep customization to match their positioning. Here’s how we usually break it down.
Stock Formulas: Fast, Proven, and Cost-Efficient
When we say “stock formula,” we’re talking about pre-developed sheet mask serums that we’ve already created, tested, and optimized—formulas that are safe, stable, and built around proven ingredient combinations like hyaluronic acid + panthenol, niacinamide + vitamin C, or collagen + peptides.
These aren’t just random bases. These are well-researched formulas built on what we know performs well across ecommerce, spa retail, and international distribution. They’re ideal for brands that want to:
- Launch quickly
- Keep initial costs low
- Avoid lengthy R&D
- Validate a concept on platforms like Amazon or TikTok
- Offer limited editions or seasonal SKUs with minimal risk
With a stock formula, you still get a lot of flexibility. You can customize the mask material, packaging, scent (in some cases), and visual branding. What you don’t have to worry about is formulation time, safety testing, or stability checks—that’s already been done. This lets you move from sample approval to production in as little as four to six weeks.
For a lot of new brands, stock formulas are the smartest way to test a product concept with minimal commitment. And even established brands sometimes use them for flash campaigns or entry-level SKUs.
Custom Formulas: Full Control, Deeper Brand Alignment
If you’re looking for full ownership over the formula—from ingredient sourcing and serum feel to absorption speed and even scent notes—then custom development is your path. This is where we work side-by-side with you and your team to bring a new concept to life from scratch.
Custom development is ideal for brands that want to:
- Create something truly unique
- Launch a “hero” product that defines their skincare line
- Match their formula to an existing treatment protocol
- Integrate specific actives at clinical or marketing-friendly percentages
- Target clean beauty, derm-grade, or luxury audiences with high expectations
In these cases, we’ll walk you through everything: choosing your key actives, adjusting the serum base, working through texture and absorption preferences, and doing multiple rounds of sampling to get it just right. It takes longer—usually 8 to 12 weeks from brief to final sample—but the result is a product that’s tailor-made for your customer and hard to copy.
Custom also means you’ll have full control over the INCI list and can build stronger claims—something that’s especially valuable if you’re trying to secure retail placement, certification, or clinical positioning.
What We Recommend (And How We Help You Decide)
To be totally transparent, there’s no universal answer. Some of our clients start with a stock formula, test it in their audience, and once they see traction—they upgrade to a custom version. Others already know exactly what their product needs to be and jump straight into development mode.
What we usually do is start with a few simple questions:
- What’s your launch timeline?
- What’s your target retail price point?
- Are you more focused on speed, or uniqueness?
- How important is ingredient transparency to your brand?
- Is this a one-off SKU or part of a bigger system?
Once we understand your goals, we’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each route—stock vs. custom—and help you map out not just what’s possible, but what’s practical for your business stage and budget.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not about choosing what sounds the most impressive—it’s about choosing what works best for your growth.
What MOQ Means in Sheet Mask Production
At our factory, the minimum production quantity for sheet masks is 5,000 pieces per SKU. That means 5,000 individual masks need to be filled, sealed, and packed per formula or variant. This MOQ allows us to meet the technical requirements of production lines, purchase raw materials efficiently, and maintain quality control at scale.
Now, that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with 5,000 of the exact same retail unit. We offer flexibility in how those 5,000 pieces are packaged and presented. For example, some clients choose to package one sheet mask per box, which means you could order 1,000 boxes, each containing 5 individual masks. Or, if you want 1 mask per box, we can do 5,000 single boxes instead.
This flexibility helps you manage how the product is positioned—whether you’re targeting ecommerce bundles, retail-ready formats, or promotional kits.
Why 5,000 Masks Is the Standard
The reason we set 5,000 as the baseline is tied to how mask production actually works. Every project requires setup for:
- Mixing and homogenizing the serum
- Cutting and soaking mask substrates
- Calibrating machines for filling and sealing
- Quality checks and packaging runs
If we produced fewer than that, the cost per unit would increase dramatically, and many of the raw materials we use—especially actives and essence bases—come with their own supplier minimums. This 5,000-piece level is the sweet spot that keeps your unit pricing reasonable and your product fully professional.
What If You’re Just Getting Started?
We understand that not every brand is ready to go all-in on massive volume. That’s why we keep the MOQ fixed at 5,000 masks, but allow you to adjust the packaging format to suit your launch goals. For instance:
- You can do 1 mask per pouch, and group 5 masks into a single retail box
- Or you can do 1 mask per box, with a printed folding carton—ideal for gifting or single-use trial SKUs
- We can also support bulk-packed masks (no retail box) for spa back-bar use or wholesale refills
This means you don’t have to warehouse 5,000 big boxes if you’re not ready. You can start with something more manageable, like 1,000 retail kits, and grow from there.
How Larger Volumes Benefit You
Of course, if you’re planning to sell at scale—whether on Amazon, through distributors, or in retail chains—the benefits of going beyond the minimum MOQ really add up. At higher volumes, you’ll see:
- Lower cost per unit
- More competitive shipping rates per mask
- Better pricing on printed cartons or foil pouches
- The ability to support multiple SKUs in one run (e.g. hydration, firming, brightening variants)
We often work with growing brands who start with 5,000–10,000 masks and then gradually increase to 30,000+ once they know what sells. The key is planning your first run in a way that allows for both smart testing and scalable success.
What We Recommend for First Orders
If you’re testing a new product or starting your first sheet mask SKU, we usually recommend:
- Starting with 5,000 masks per SKU
- Packaging them flexibly (like 1 mask per box x 5,000 units, or 5 per box x 1,000 boxes)
- Keeping the packaging design clean and general—this makes reorders easier and gives you room to adapt
We’re here to guide you through this. MOQ shouldn’t be a guessing game—it should be a tool for smart forecasting. We’ll help you think through your sales channels, shelf life, packaging goals, and storage space, so you can confidently place that first order and set your business up to grow.
What Makes Sheet Masks Ideal for E-commerce and DTC Sales
We’ve worked with founders launching their first Shopify store, Amazon sellers testing skincare categories, and even TikTok creators building their own lines—and the one product we see over and over again in those successful launches? Sheet masks. And honestly, it makes perfect sense. When it comes to e-commerce and direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales, sheet masks check every box: they’re visual, lightweight, high-margin, and incredibly flexible to market.
They’re Lightweight, Compact, and Easy to Ship
First off, from a logistics standpoint, sheet masks are a dream. They’re thin, flat, and weigh almost nothing compared to jars of cream or bottles of serum. That means they’re super cost-effective to ship—whether you’re doing it yourself from your garage or through a third-party logistics partner. If you’re running a pre-order campaign or just trying to keep your packaging as lean as possible, sheet masks won’t eat into your shipping costs or complicate fulfillment.
We’ve helped brands launch with as little as 500 kits containing a single sheet mask and a product insert—and they were able to ship everything in small mailers, keep it under 100 grams, and still create a premium unboxing moment. That kind of efficiency makes a real difference when you’re trying to keep CAC low or run “free + shipping” offers profitably.
They Create Immediate Visual Impact
In DTC, especially on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, or even Pinterest, aesthetics sell. Sheet masks are incredibly visual—whether it’s the shiny foil pouch, the mask soaked in serum being applied, or the post-use glow that shows up well on camera. We’ve seen clients generate hundreds of thousands of views on unboxing videos and “Sunday self-care” routines featuring nothing but a good-looking mask and natural light.
From a branding perspective, the pouch is basically a billboard. You can use it to communicate your story, ingredients, mood, or even seasonal themes. And because masks are often photographed and shared in people’s bathrooms or nightstands, they tend to show up in organic user-generated content more naturally than most products.
They’re Perfect for Bundles, Upsells, and Gifting
We also love how sheet masks play well with other products. They’re an easy add-on to raise average order value. They’re perfect in gift sets. And they make excellent first-touch items in a customer’s journey with your brand.
Let’s say you’re selling a $45 moisturizer. Not everyone is ready to buy that upfront—but offering a $4.99 “intro mask” gives people a low-risk way to try your brand. And when that single-use mask delivers real hydration or glow? They’ll come back to explore the rest of your line. That’s how a sheet mask becomes a sales funnel in a pouch.
We’ve had clients turn a single brightening mask into a series of themed bundles: morning vs evening masks, post-workout masks, “date night” masks. The possibilities for storytelling and upselling are endless—and they work especially well in email flows and seasonal campaigns.
They’re High-Perceived-Value, Low-Cost Products
Here’s the thing: even though the production cost per mask can be relatively low—especially when you scale—the customer still sees a sheet mask as a “treat.” There’s something about tearing open that pouch, feeling the serum, and laying back for 10–15 minutes that creates a luxury moment, even at a $5 price point.
That means you can build in healthy margins without feeling like you’re gouging the customer. If you’re building a clean beauty brand or a spa-inspired collection, a thoughtfully formulated sheet mask lets you deliver value and experience without breaking the bank. And because customers know they’ll use it once and feel results right away, they’re more likely to impulse-buy or subscribe.
They Drive Content, Community, and Retention
We’ve seen brands use sheet masks to drive repeat engagement and turn first-time buyers into loyal fans. Why? Because masks are experiential. They’re easy to share. Easy to gift. Easy to build habits around. You can create monthly challenges (“Mask Mondays”), build a referral program around gifting, or include them in loyalty rewards.
They’re also great for influencer seeding—unlike serums or creams that require long-term use, a sheet mask gives the influencer something they can try once and immediately create content around. That lowers friction, increases your exposure, and gives you UGC you can actually use in paid ads and landing pages.
From where we stand as a manufacturer, and from what we’ve seen across our client base, sheet masks are one of the most e-commerce-optimized products in the entire skincare category. They’re affordable to make, easy to store, and endlessly flexible in how you present and sell them. But more importantly—they fit how today’s customers discover, try, and fall in love with beauty brands.
If you’re building a modern skincare line—and especially if you’re doing it online—sheet masks are more than just a product. They’re a growth tool.
Packaging Options That Influence Sales Performance
When we work with skincare brands—whether they’re new to the market or scaling up—we always spend time discussing packaging strategy. That’s because in sheet mask sales, packaging isn’t just about wrapping up your product. It’s about making a promise to the customer, visually communicating what your brand stands for, and—most importantly—shaping how your product performs on the shelf, on-screen, and in someone’s hand.
We’ve seen first-hand how the right packaging can turn a simple sheet mask into a giftable item, an impulse buy, or a viral moment. The wrong packaging? It might still be functional, but it won’t do the hard work of building trust or catching attention. Below are some of the packaging directions we commonly guide our clients through—and why they work.
Matte Kraft Pouches: Minimalist, Eco-Friendly, and Story-Driven
If your brand leans into sustainability, natural skincare, or a quiet, minimalist aesthetic, matte kraft-style pouches are a strong fit. These pouches often have a slightly textured, paper-like feel that customers immediately associate with eco-conscious values and clean beauty principles.
We’ve used kraft packaging with clients who want to speak to Gen Z and Millennial audiences focused on low-waste skincare, refill culture, and ingredient transparency. They also photograph beautifully in lifestyle content—think soft, neutral-toned product shots that reflect a calm and intentional brand personality.
That said, kraft packaging tends to be more subtle, so we usually recommend it for DTC-first brands, spa environments, or shelf placements where simplicity stands out. If you’re relying on shelf appeal in crowded retail stores, kraft can sometimes get lost unless it’s paired with strong design or contrast elements.
Glossy Foil Pouches: Premium, Eye-Catching, and Retail-Ready
When the goal is to impress instantly, we almost always point clients toward glossy foil pouches. These have a rich, polished look and immediately communicate premium skincare. Foil finishes hold color well, reflect light beautifully, and give your sheet mask that “sealed for results” clinical feel.
We’ve helped brands use foil pouches for SKUs that target anti-aging, brightening, or firming—especially when those products are going into prestige retail, ecommerce gift sets, or TikTok unboxings. If you’re looking to stand out on camera or pop off the shelf, foil is hard to beat.
Foil pouches also support advanced print effects like spot UV, embossing, holographic ink, and gradient overlays, which we use to help brands tell deeper visual stories. The added benefit? They give your customer a tactile experience—the weight and feel signal something of value before the mask is even opened.
Boxed Multi-Packs: Structured, Giftable, and Revenue-Boosting
Another format we often recommend is the boxed multi-pack. These are ideal if you’re creating a system (like a “7-Day Skin Reset”) or bundling 3–10 masks into a single retail unit. Boxes work incredibly well for gifting, holiday collections, or store displays, because they allow for stronger visual storytelling and more physical presence on the shelf.
Inside the box, we can include variety packs (hydrating + soothing + brightening), or we can group multiples of a hero SKU to encourage repeat use. The outer box gives you more real estate to communicate—ingredient highlights, founder story, instructions, even QR codes that link to your brand’s how-to video or user testimonials.
We’ve seen multi-packs drive strong results in both ecommerce and brick-and-mortar—especially when paired with promotional pricing (“5 masks for the price of 4”) or visual merchandising like shelf-ready trays.
Inserts, QR Codes, and Add-Ons That Create Experience
Sometimes, the difference between a product people forget and a product they talk about is the smallest detail. That’s where inserts, QR codes, stickers, and scent cards come in. We often work with clients to add a thank-you note, usage tips, or a “Scan to Learn More” code right inside the packaging.
These extras cost very little, but they deliver a lot. They give the customer a reason to pause, engage, and even share. Imagine a calming sheet mask that comes with a QR code linking to a relaxing Spotify playlist. Or a brightening mask with a step-by-step video on how to layer it with toner and SPF. These small touches are especially powerful in DTC channels, where brand experience drives retention and referral.
Packaging Isn’t Just an Expense—It‘s a Sales Engine
Over and over again, we’ve seen brands that treat packaging as part of their marketing strategy, not just a manufacturing decision, succeed faster. It helps you charge more, improve perceived value, and build stronger brand memory. That first impression when a customer picks up your product—or receives it in the mail—is a chance to spark trust and create delight.
So when you’re planning your sheet mask line, don’t just think about what goes in the pouch. Think about the pouch itself. Is it reflecting your brand values? Does it match your customer’s expectations? Is it working as hard as your formula to get that repeat purchase?
If we’re working together, this is a conversation we’ll guide you through—not just creatively, but strategically. Because great skincare packaging doesn’t just protect your product. It helps sell it.
Documentation and Compliance You’ll Likely Need
When we work with brands preparing to launch sheet masks—especially those selling cross-border—we always take time to talk through documentation. Not the flashy part of skincare development, I know. But in our experience, paperwork is what separates a brand that launches smoothly from one that gets stuck in customs, flagged by Amazon, or blocked from entering new markets altogether.
That’s why we take compliance seriously, and why we help every client—not just produce a product—but walk away with a full, export-ready documentation set. Whether you’re planning to sell in the U.S., the EU, the GCC, or Southeast Asia, here’s what you’ll likely need—and what we typically provide.
INCI List – Your Formula, Translated for the World
The INCI list is your formula’s international passport. INCI stands for “International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients,” and it’s the globally recognized way to name every ingredient in your product—using standardized terminology that complies with EU, FDA, ASEAN, and most other cosmetic regulations.
We prepare this document for every project. It includes everything from your star ingredients (like niacinamide or Centella Asiatica) to your functional bases (emulsifiers, stabilizers, preservatives), listed in descending order by concentration. This is what gets printed on your pouch or box, but it’s also what buyers, regulators, and marketplaces need to review when approving your product for sale.
If you plan to label in multiple languages or register with international agencies, the INCI is your starting point—and it needs to be 100% accurate.
MSDS & COA – Safety and Quality, Certified
Once your product is made, the next thing we deliver is your MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) and COA (Certificate of Analysis). These are official records that prove your product is safe, stable, and meets agreed specifications. Most of our clients need these to:
- Open Amazon listings
- Apply for FDA or EU registration
- Ship through customs
- Onboard with retail or spa distributors
The MSDS outlines how to safely handle the product, including potential hazards (spoiler: there usually aren’t any), storage conditions, and emergency procedures. It’s essential for warehouses, fulfillment centers, and regulatory agencies. The COA, on the other hand, verifies that your batch was produced according to spec. It covers things like pH, appearance, microbial count, and active percentages. This is your quality receipt—and we generate it as part of our standard batch handover.
Stability Testing – Shelf Life Starts Here
Stability testing isn’t legally required in every market—but we always recommend it, and we run it internally for all custom formulas. This test simulates long-term storage (both at room temp and in hot or humid conditions) to verify that your mask still looks, feels, and performs like it should after 6–12 months.
This is especially important if you plan to:
- Store inventory for a longer period
- Sell into humid or tropical countries
- Apply for shelf placement in large retail stores
- Ensure your essence doesn’t separate, spoil, or oxidize over time
The result is a Stability Report that gives you and your retail partners confidence. It also helps set your official expiration date and recommended storage instructions.
Export Documents – Customs Without the Headache
Every export project requires a different set of shipping documents, and we’ve worked with just about all of them. When you’re sending your masks out of China, we prepare:
- Commercial invoices
- Packing lists
- Customs declaration forms
- Certificates of origin (if needed)
- Free Sale Certificates for certain regulated regions
Some countries—like UAE, Saudi Arabia, or Thailand—might ask for local-format documents, product registration numbers, or halal compliance paperwork. If you’re working with a freight forwarder or customs broker, we’ll communicate directly with them to make sure nothing gets lost in translation. We’ve seen too many brands delayed at the border for small formatting errors—so we’re very hands-on here.
Country-Specific Cosmetic Notification & Registration
Here’s where things get specific—and important.
- EU: To legally sell in the EU, your sheet mask must be registered via the CPNP (Cosmetic Product Notification Portal). We’ll provide you with everything needed: INCI, MSDS, stability report, product images, and labeling.
- USA: While the FDA doesn’t require pre-market approval for cosmetics, it does expect your claims, labeling, and manufacturing practices to be compliant. If your mask claims to treat acne, scars, or medical conditions—it becomes an OTC drug. We’ll help you stay on the right side of that line.
- GCC (e.g. UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait): These countries require product registration, Arabic labeling, and approval before customs clearance. We’ve worked with brands to compile all files for submission and can connect you with regulatory consultants in-market if needed.
- ASEAN Countries: Requirements vary across Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand—but most need safety testing, a localized INCI list, and importer details. Again, we support this with compliant files and advisory referrals.
Even if you’re just launching DTC today, if global expansion is on the roadmap, it’s better to get these foundations in place now.
Why We Care (And Why You Should Too)
For us, documentation isn’t “extra.” It’s part of making sure your product survives—not just the production line—but the market. That’s why every project we deliver includes a complete digital folder with your INCI list, MSDS, COA, and starter export files. And if you’re entering a regulated region, we help you gather what you need to register, onboard, or submit.
We’ve seen firsthand how solid documentation gives brands more flexibility, more credibility, and more peace of mind. And whether you’re pitching to a retailer, dealing with customs, or scaling to five new countries, you’ll be glad you took it seriously from the start.
How Long It Takes to Launch a Sheet Mask Product
When clients ask us how long it takes to bring a sheet mask from concept to shelf, we always say: it’s not just about manufacturing — it’s about timing your product with purpose. Whether you’re planning a TikTok campaign, a retail pitch, or a seasonal drop, understanding your production timeline gives you control. And the good news is, once we break it down step by step, the process becomes a lot more manageable.
For most brands we work with, a full sheet mask project — from sample to finished goods — takes around 9 to 14 weeks. But depending on your formula, packaging choices, and how fast we move through approvals, we’ve helped some clients go faster — and others take more time to get every detail just right. Let me walk you through what’s involved at each stage.
Sampling and Formula Testing (3–5 Weeks)
This is the part where your product starts to take shape. Whether we’re working from a stock formula or building something completely custom, the first thing we do is prepare samples for your review. We’ll usually send you 2–3 versions to start, especially if we’re exploring different mask materials (cotton, hydrogel, or bio-cellulose) or key ingredients (like niacinamide or peptides).
During this phase, you’ll be testing how the serum feels, how the mask fits the face, how it absorbs, and how your skin reacts. Some clients approve the first version immediately. Others go through two or three rounds of tweaks — adjusting things like fragrance level, viscosity, or how long the essence lasts after opening. We always tell clients: don’t rush this step. Getting the formula right up front saves you time and money down the line.
In most cases, the sampling and internal testing process takes 3 to 5 weeks, depending on how quickly you provide feedback and whether we’re iterating on active ingredients or packaging compatibility.
Packaging Design and Material Approval (2–3 Weeks)
While you’re testing the formula, we usually begin working on packaging at the same time. We’ll send you pouch dielines, label guidelines (including INCI formatting, batch codes, and expiry indicators), and help you position the product clearly for your target market — whether that’s clinical, spa, luxury, or TikTok-ready.
Some of our clients already have in-house designers. Others use freelancers or work directly with us for layout guidance. Either way, once your design is approved, we coordinate with our printing partners to prep your foil pouches, kraft paper sleeves, or boxed kits. If you’re using an existing pouch size or layout, this phase can move faster. But for custom shapes, embossing, or spot UV effects, we’ll need a little more time for mockups and confirmation.
On average, packaging design, proofing, and material ordering takes 2 to 3 weeks.
Bulk Production and Final Assembly (4–6 Weeks)
Once everything is approved — the formula, the pouch, the outer box (if applicable) — we lock in your production slot and begin manufacturing. That means batching your serum, preparing the mask substrates, and filling and sealing each piece in our ISO22716 and GMPC-certified facility.
This is also where we handle:
- Final stability testing
- Labeling (with batch numbers, expiration dates, and region-specific stickers if required)
- Packaging into inner boxes and master cartons for export
- Generating your MSDS, COA, and other documentation
Bulk production usually takes 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your MOQ, formula type (stock vs custom), and any added complexity (such as shrink wrapping, retail box inserts, or dual-language labeling).
If you’re using a standard formula and pouch combo, and you’re ready to move quickly on final approvals, we may be able to tighten this timeline further — especially for repeat orders or market testing runs.
What Can Shorten (or Lengthen) Your Timeline
We always aim to be transparent here. If you’re in a rush — let’s say you need products in hand in 6–8 weeks — we’ll help speed things up by:
- Using pre-tested formulas from our lab library
- Working with standard pouch sizes and print templates
- Approving samples digitally rather than waiting for new shipments
- Running packaging production in parallel with formula sign-off
But if you want to build something from scratch, develop a unique active blend, or go through a few rounds of market testing first — we encourage you to take your time. We’d rather get it right than rush you through a process you’ll later need to re-do.
Average Total Timeline: 9–14 Weeks from Start to Finish
So, here’s the recap:
- Sampling and formula confirmation: 3–5 weeks
- Packaging design and ordering: 2–3 weeks
- Bulk production and finishing: 4–6 weeks
👉 Total: 9 to 14 weeks on average
That’s what it takes to go from idea to finished, shelf-ready sheet masks. Of course, that timeline can flex — faster for simple, stock-driven launches; a bit longer for custom development or export registration needs.
We don’t believe in over-promising timelines — because your reputation is riding on more than just how fast we can produce. It’s about producing a product that feels right in the hand, performs beautifully on the skin, and reflects the level of care your brand stands for.
So when you work with us, we’ll help you plan with clarity. You’ll know exactly what happens when, how each phase connects to the next, and where you can (and shouldn’t) try to rush. Because a great product launch isn’t just on-time — it’s on-brand.
Key Considerations Before You Launch
Before we begin designing your packaging or crafting your serum, we always start with a different kind of work: asking the right questions. I can’t tell you how many brands come to us excited about launching a sheet mask, but without clarity on who the product is for, where it’s going to sell, or what performance their customer actually expects. And from our experience working with everyone from indie startups to international distributors—this kind of upfront thinking makes all the difference.
Below are the five big questions we always ask our clients before production begins. These aren’t just checklist items—they’re strategic filters that shape everything from your formula to your marketing.
What’s Your Customer’s Primary Skin Concern?
We always begin with the skin concern because your formula, messaging, and even the mask substrate depend on this one thing. Are your customers dehydrated from city life and screen fatigue? Struggling with breakouts and clogged pores? Or are they focused on aging gracefully, looking for firming and glow-boosting effects?
Once we clarify the target issue—hydration, acne, dullness, sensitivity, aging, pigmentation—we can guide you toward the right ingredients (like niacinamide, panthenol, peptides, or AHA/BHA) and recommend whether a water-light serum, creamy essence, or hydrogel texture makes the most sense. Getting this part right means your product won’t just be “a mask”—it will be the right mask for your customer’s actual needs.
Where Are You Planning to Sell the Product?
This is a big one, and often overlooked. Selling on Amazon is a totally different world from stocking in boutique spas or launching on TikTok Shop. Each platform has its own visual language, compliance expectations, and unboxing behaviors.
If you’re going into retail stores, your packaging needs to be shelf-stable, visually bold, and easy to merchandise—usually with boxed multi-packs or hanging pouches. For Amazon and Shopify, your product has to photograph well, ship efficiently, and win on clarity of benefit. If you’re targeting professional use, like spas and dermatology clinics, you’ll want clinical design, proven active ingredients, and credibility that supports back-bar use.
By defining this early, we can recommend packaging styles, carton types, and even language on the front of pack that converts better within your specific sales environment.
Do You Need to Meet Specific Clean Beauty or Ingredient Standards?
Many of our clients come to us wanting to make “clean,” “vegan,” “fragrance-free,” or “cruelty-free” claims. We’re 100% on board—but these claims carry real implications for how we formulate your product.
If you’re building a vegan sheet mask, we’ll need to avoid common animal-derived ingredients like collagen, snail mucin, or certain emulsifiers. For clean beauty, we’ll screen every ingredient for compatibility with standards like EWG, Credo, or Clean at Sephora—and avoid parabens, PEGs, silicones, artificial dyes, and more. If your target audience includes sensitive-skin users, we’ll avoid added fragrance altogether (yes, even essential oils).
These are important decisions, because once they’re locked in, they affect everything—your marketing, your claim language, your Amazon compliance, and your certification path if you want to pursue seals in the future.
What Price Point Are You Targeting—and Does Your Packaging Match That Value?
We can’t talk about margins without talking about packaging. Your target retail price doesn’t just impact your formula—it determines the entire feel of the product. A $3.99 sheet mask won’t come in a gold-foiled rigid box, and a $9.99 luxury spa mask shouldn’t be wrapped in a thin plastic pouch with generic printing.
We always reverse-engineer here: what’s your ideal retail price? What margin do you need after logistics, platform fees, and distributor cuts? And then—what kind of formula, materials, and packaging will feel like it’s worth that price?
We can help you choose between:
- Kraft or matte laminate for a clean, minimal vibe
- Glossy foil or metallic ink for a luxury look
- Multi-pack cartons for gifting or shelf presence
- Inserts or QR codes for added storytelling
It’s about creating perceived value that matches what the customer pays—and giving them a reason to come back.
Are You Prepared for Regulatory Requirements in Your Region?
This is the piece many founders underestimate, especially in international sales. If you’re planning to sell in the EU, your product needs to go through CPNP registration, follow specific labeling guidelines, and have a designated Responsible Person in-market. In the U.S., products must follow FDA guidelines on claims, INCI display, and safety documentation—especially if you use functional actives.
If you’re launching in the Middle East, many countries (like the UAE or Saudi Arabia) require Arabic-language packaging, local agent registration, and product file submission before customs clearance. Southeast Asia, Japan, and Korea each have their own nuance.
We’ll help you prep the basics: your INCI list, MSDS, COA, and stability data. But you’ll also want to think ahead: Will you need multi-language packaging? Will you need help from a regulatory partner? Do you want to avoid any region-specific banned ingredients from the beginning?
Planning this now saves you months later—and lets your product move across borders without friction.
Before you think about scent, serum, or color—we always come back to these five questions. Who is your customer? Where are you selling? What standards matter to your buyer? What’s your pricing model? And are you built for compliance from day one?
We’ve seen brands succeed because they took the time to get strategic before they got creative. And we’ve seen brands fail—not because the mask was bad—but because they missed the bigger picture.
So before we make anything, we align on everything. That way, your sheet mask doesn’t just look good or work well—it fits your brand, your buyer, and your bottom line.
Let me know if you’d like this turned into a PDF checklist or onboarding worksheet. We’ve used it with every serious skincare brand we’ve supported.
Why Partner with Metro Private Label for Your Sheet Mask Line?
If you’re looking to build a sheet mask line that does more than ride a trend—that actually performs, looks great on shelves, and strengthens your brand—we’re here to make that happen. At Metro Private Label, we’ve worked with everyone from first-time founders and spa clinics to global buyers and Amazon-native brands.
What we’ve learned over the years is this: a great sheet mask isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s built around real use cases, regional compliance, packaging logic, and market opportunity. That’s where we come in—not just as your manufacturer, but as your strategic development partner.
We Don’t Just Make Masks—We Help You Launch Products That Sell
Sheet masks today are more than just soaked fabric—they’re where ritual meets results. Whether your customer is a TikTok-loving Gen Z user looking for a glow-up, or a luxury spa client expecting post-treatment recovery, we help you build formulas that actually match your audience’s skincare habits and expectations.
We support you with:
- Functional ingredient pairings (e.g. niacinamide + hyaluronic acid for hydration + barrier care)
- Trend-driven options like snail mucin, centella, PDRN, and peptides
- Texture adjustments based on usage goals—fast-absorbing for morning use or rich overnight masks
- Sheet materials that suit both performance and price point—from cotton and tencel to hydrogel and biocellulose
We don’t just fill pouches—we help you create a product experience that people want to repeat.
Every Formula Starts with Your Brand, Not Ours
Before we talk ingredients or packaging, we ask: Who are you creating this for? Are you:
- A startup founder selling DTC with unboxing-driven marketing?
- A retailer offering high-margin post-treatment masks for clinic use?
- An Amazon seller looking to create a sheet mask set that wins on value and visibility?
Once we understand that, we help you build around:
- Mask materials (nonwoven, hydrogel, bio-cellulose, etc.)
- Actives that align with your brand values (clean, vegan, clinical, gentle)
- Scent profiles (fragrance-free? relaxing lavender? spa-grade neroli?)
- Packaging layout that aligns with your tone (playful, clinical, luxury?)
We’ll never force you to reverse-engineer your brand around a pre-set formula. Instead, we design a product that feels like you made it from the start.
Designed to Perform—in Real Routines, Not Just Marketing Photos
Getting a pretty pouch is easy. But what happens once your customer tears it open?
We ask:
- Does the essence absorb cleanly, or leave a sticky layer?
- Does the mask fit well on multiple face shapes?
- Does it work under makeup? Does it clog pores? Does the pouch leak in a hot warehouse?
That’s why we run:
- Stability testing for shelf-life and formula performance
- Compatibility checks for actives + materials (especially for AHA/BHA blends or hydrogel)
- Fill precision audits to ensure each pouch has consistent volume
- Packaging integrity tests so your product arrives looking as good as it did when it left us
Our job is to make sure the product feels good on the first use—and every reorder after.
We Think About Sustainability from Day One
Your customers care about what’s inside—but they also notice what’s outside. That’s why we help you build sustainability into your project from the start, not as a tacked-on afterthought.
We offer:
- Eco-friendly substrates (biodegradable, vegan, plastic-free options)
- Low-waste outer boxes and recyclable pouch options
- Silicone-free and paraben-free formulations for clean beauty compatibility
- Support for certification pathways like Leaping Bunny, COSMOS, or Clean at Sephora
We’ll help you balance shelf appeal with environmental responsibility, so your product feels aligned with what today’s conscious customer expects.
Start Smart. Scale Smoothly.
You don’t need to start with 50,000 units to prove your product works. Many of our clients start with just 5,000 masks per formula, then build from there. That’s enough for a limited DTC drop, influencer campaign, or retail pilot—and once you validate demand, we scale with you.
Here’s how we support that journey:
- Flexible batch sizes based on your formula, material, and packaging
- Quick-turn restocks for repeat winners
- Forecasting support to help you avoid stockouts or overproduction
- Multi-SKU coordination for bundles, travel sets, or market-specific versions
Whether you’re launching a hero mask or planning a regional portfolio, we’ll help you grow without outgrowing your production setup.
Support That Goes Beyond the Lab
We’re more than your formula team—we’re your sounding board. We help with:
- INCI and claim formatting for Amazon, EU, or TikTok
- Packaging copy reviews for compliance and clarity
- Label space planning (how much room do you really have for icons, usage steps, or QR codes?)
- Strategic guidance on product naming, bundle design, or subscription formats
Our clients use us like an outsourced product development department—because we know what moves units and what just sounds good on a slide deck.

- A dedicated product coordinator for all your questions
- Real timelines, not vague promises
- Fast answers when ingredients run short or designs need to change mid-stream

Build Sheet Masks That Actually Get Finished—Not Forgotten
At Metro Private Label, we don’t just manufacture sheet masks—we help you create SKUs that fit your customer’s real routine, look great on screen, and keep your brand top of mind. Every formula we develop is made to perform: from how it feels in the first 10 seconds to how it supports long-term skin goals.
Whether you’re targeting Gen Z self-care lovers, post-facial spa clients, or clean beauty fans looking for gentle actives and thoughtful packaging, we’ll help you bring sheet masks to life that are ready for retail, refill, or viral-ready DTC.
Let’s create a product that doesn’t just get sampled—it gets reordered.
Let’s build a Sheet Mask line that’s ready for launch—and ready to scale.
