Success Stories

Ulta Beauty

A lipstick case design sketched on a napkin, and a six-year partnership built on proficiency & professionalism.

Ulta Beauty was seeking new sources for secure supply chains.

The company’s requirements include engineering expertise, solid package development skills, cost competitiveness and excellence in communication.

As one of many candidates, Presto was thoroughly reviewed and evaluated.

Ulta Beauty chose Presto to be its Lead Supplier. Since that time, we have custom-tooled 12 packages and provided over 70 stock components in a wide range of categories.

Results:

  • The lipstick case was engineered and went into production in record time. It won the NJPEC Technical Merit Award.
  • Presto’s partnership enabled Ulta to take advantage of higher quality components and 40% cost savings.

Fragrance Packaging

A pressing deadline, and an opportunity that spurred a new US fragrance sprayer resource.

Our beauty customer was facing a 30+ weeks’ lead-time for fragrance sprayers.

We relied on our project expertise and local development support, here in the US, to take on a complex fragrance project.

We located a partner supplier with spray-engine capacity, and invested in our own fashion and fit parts, to create Presto’s first line of fragrance sprayers.

Results:

  • Presto reduced lead times from 30+ weeks to 8 weeks for our customer.
  • Our new fragrance line has continued to expand, and we now service a growing list of customers who need a quality, alternative supplier.

Milani

Best-selling lip balm gets an extra boost from “eye candy” packaging that’s hard to resist.

Our customer was intent on creating a complete sensorial experience for the consumer.

Presto engaged its team of design experts to set the lip balms apart on the store’s shelf.

We created bold, eye-catching colors for the tubes that were color-matched to the formulas.

To increase the size impression, we built a custom tall cap in the brand’s signature metallized gold.

Artwork colors were designed specially to complement each of the six tube colors.

Results:

  • Presto won the 2022 NJPEC award for Graphics.
  • The line grew to include other products, combining their branding of beautiful colors and metallized gold.

Kosas

A unique and functional design propels a breakthrough in the lip care category.

Our customer, known for bold packaging & clean formulas, was seeking a new pack for lip balm. Its brand combines effective formulas & functional packaging with modern design elements. Presto’s engineering strengths led the custom design project from concept to reality.

The smooth, rounded edges and thin, flat profile make it a perfect fit in the hand or in a pocket. Clean lines, simple structure and ergonomic shape set this lip balm apart from all of the rest.

Results:

  • Lip Fuel was Presto’s first, fully custom-built component for this esteemed brand.
  • Presto won the NJPEC Health and Beauty Platinum Award in 2019 for the package design.
