Componentry

Also known as: packaging components, primary packaging

Componentry refers to the physical packaging parts that hold and dispense a product — bottles, jars, tubes, pumps, caps, droppers, and closures. Choice of componentry affects cost, fill compatibility, stability, and the look and feel of the product on shelf. Component sourcing and lead times often drive a launch timeline as much as the formula does.
