A personalized lip gloss is a lip product that is packaged in a custom-printed container. These containers of lip gloss can be used as promotional items or party favors or sold as a fundraiser for a cause or organization. It is usually quite possible to use a variety of formulas in the manufacturer of personalized lip gloss. For example, some formulas may be tinted, and others may contain sunscreen. Personalized lip gloss comes in different forms as well, including stick and pot lip glosses.
Advances in printing technology in the 20th and 21st centuries have made the production of custom labels both easy and affordable. Companies that offer personalized lip gloss are typically printing companies that specialize in the design and production of product labels. These companies will typically acquire prepackaged lip glosses from personal care product and cosmetics manufacturers and then add custom printed labels after a customer places an order. These printing companies may use a logo or design provided by the client or may also offer label design services.
The purpose in purchasing personalized lip gloss varies by client, but this product is typically provided as a favor to party or event attendees or may be distributed by a business as an advertising promotion. In the first case, the label on a personalized lip gloss may include the name and date of the party or event. When personalized lip gloss is used as an advertising premium, its label will typically include the name of the advertiser along with the advertiser's contact information, such as a phone number or website.
Businesses that sell personalized lip gloss may offer several different types of lip gloss and balm to their clients. For example, a company that wishes to attract both male and female customers may choose a colorless, fragrance-free lip balm in stick form for its promotional campaign. On the other hand, a bridal shower hostess may choose a tinted, flavored lip gloss in a combination lip gloss pot and key chain as a fun favor and keepsake for shower guests.
In some cases, it may be possible to obtain lip balms and glosses that contain special ingredients, such as sunscreen, or that feature organic ingredients. These special formulations may be in demand by certain organizations and businesses, as the inclusion of these ingredients may serve to advance the organization's mission. For example, a cancer charity may appreciate being able to distribute a lip balm that contains a high-quality sunscreen, while an environmental organization may wish to distribute products that have been created from sustainably grown ingredients.
