4Pack software helps personal care, beauty and skincare businesses manage their product packaging, artwork and specification challenges, workflows and data at every stage of the product lifecycle.
Our solution delivers beauty packaging managers and personal care product managers a single integrated source of truth that provides clear and connected insight across your brand and product portfolio.
It can help companies with a growing number of beauty and personal care SKUs to manage the growing complexities of local and international cosmetic and beauty packaging and labelling compliance.
Personal Care & Beauty packaging places huge emphasis on visual aesthetics and consumer experience is everything, whether it applies to luxury or everyday products.
Skincare and beauty packaging is complex, multi-component and highly customised. Products, their packaging and labelling must satisfy technical, regulatory and branding needs simultaneously and without error.
The demands placed on personal care packaging are extreme. It not only protects the integrity of products, but maintains essential hygiene, maximises shelf appeal, and conveys key information to consumers.
It’s a lot to ask, challenging both process workflows and the systems which support them. That’s where 4Pack comes in.
Cosmetics packaging artwork and product labels must conform to increasingly stringent local and international regulatory standards. These range from formulations, usage instructions and essential warnings including allergens, required by UK and EU Cosmetics Regulations to evolving rules around packaging sustainability and waste.
Effective artwork and labelling management models must draw on current and correct product data, regulatory marks and label standards, as well as brand resources and standards. Managers must be able to rely on having complete and consistent and packaging specifications that are correctly linked to product lines and individual SKUs so that the BOM of every product is consistently complete and correct.
4Pack helps skincare and beauty businesses to centralise and manage this data, bringing automation that streamlines key workflows for more efficient working.
It significantly reduces the risks associated with inaccurate personal care product labelling, including human error or use of out-of-date or inconsistent information. Teams from different departments can collaborate around a single version of the truth, avoiding duplication and keeping everyone on the same page.
Packaging sustainability and reporting has added additional stressors. The outer primary packaging for a single skincare product may comprise not just board, but also plastic protective films and seals. Whether the product is delivered in a pump, dropper, jar, tube or airless bottle, further packaging components may span glass, plastics, papers and metals.
Each must be tracked for regulatory and sustainability reporting. Extended Producer Responsibility regulation impacts all in-scope beauty and personal care brands and it is proliferating. The UK EPR scheme is operational now, EU PPWR is coming on stream from 2027, and others are emerging in the US, MEA and beyond. Meanwhile, recyclability labelling standards such as OPRL continue to evolve, to bring clarity to consumers. It will apply to all consumer-facing products, with some plastic film exceptions.
Most challenging perhaps, EPR schemes will require beauty and makeup packaging producers to report data in more detail than ever before. This will span weights, composition, and recyclability of all material that could end up in waste streams. Unless that packaging data is easily accessible through a purpose-designed centralised platform like 4Pack, reporting will be a huge burden.
