Skincare packaging sourcing for Nigeria
LIFA coordinated packaging and filling partners for a Nigerian skincare launch, reducing MOQ by 60% and shipping 18,000 units in seven weeks.
- The buyer
- A Lagos, Nigeria skincare brand launching 6 private-label SKUs (serums, creams, cleansers).
- The product scope
- Skincare packaging; airless pumps, glass jars, and tubes; plus private-label filling under GMP.
What needed to change?
MOQs of 10,000 units per SKU were 3× the launch demand; mold-cost quotes ranged wildly from $3,000 to $12,000 with unclear ownership terms; no verified filling partner.
How LIFA managed the work
We evaluated 7 packaging suppliers and 4 filling facilities.
We itemized mold costs per component and negotiated shared tooling terms.
We reduced MOQs to 3,000-4,000 units by standardizing components across SKUs.
We verified GMP compliance and stability-testing capability at filling partners.
Unit cost −18%; launch MOQ reduced 60% (from 10,000 to 4,000); first batch of 18,000 units shipped in 7 weeks; 3-month stability tests passed.

What this project shows
Shared components can reduce launch quantities, but tooling ownership and filling capability still need separate agreement before production.
