The Cosmetic Packaging Group, O. Berk Co., provides the bottles and closures that meet the requirements for a product line appealing to teen girls through cheerful, contemporary packaging.

“We wanted to have packaging that was both attractive and inspirational for these girls,” says Susan Shand, CEO and co-founder of Santa Barbara, CA-based TESS. Messages printed onto various packaging components include phrases such as “dare to dream” and “speak your mind.”

Englewood fills O. Berk’s 2-oz and 4-oz clear and white PET Boston Round bottles with white disc dispensing caps or fine-mist spray tops, and 4-oz clear PET wide-mouth jars with white smooth-sided caps. Color hues on containers and caps match brand formulations and colors.

The products have a two-year shelf life and retail at Sephora stores and on www.sephora.com, as well as at www.tesskin.com. Suggested retail prices range from $14 to $48, with some products sold in kits containing multiple products.
