Premium Beauty News - You have quite a few examples of brands that started with you, to then become major beauty players?

Lou Della Pesca - That’s true! In a way it’s our trademark in the United States. Small and medium businesses have been our core market for almost 32 years. Specializing in the development of packaging for the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Pharmaceutical Industries through serving high end and mass markets. 3C Inc. delivers the personalized service flexibility and unlimited options that enable the company to respond to the ever-changing needs of style and efficiency-conscious companies around the world.

Premium Beauty News - Why do companies actually call on you?

Lou Della Pesca - This can be summarized in four points:

a) A veritable "think tank" of ideas and expertise. We can act as a valuable extension of the design team of our customer or we can spearhead the entire design effort. There is no more efficient way to save time and money than to tap into our "brainpower" and library of samples that inspire creativity, as well as to tap into our experience with manufacturing.

b) We have a special talent for developing distinctive, coordinated lines, making the right selections from our wide assortment of:

– Compacts, lipsticks and mascaras.
– Tubes, bottles, caps, jars, tottles, pumps, pots and brushes.

Whether the customer desires an eclectic or homogeneous approach, color matching or special inserts, once again the options are unlimited.

c) Molds, molds and more molds! Our huge selection of stock and custom made molds means the customer can get it all from one reliable source.

d) A quality, controlled approach, with respect for the budget, time and scheduling needs, pervades every phase at 3C Inc. Smart, experience-based planning, from the get go, saves time and money later on. Our overseas manufacturing partners’ systems undergo frequent scrutiny to ensure that they produce to our exacting requirements. Plus our state-of-the-art, fully automatic and high speed production, manufacturing and assembly lines enable us to efficiently produce consistently high quality containers.

Premium Beauty News - But you have many more strong points?

Lou Della Pesca - That’s right, starting with innovation! We are proud to note our introduction of soft touch for compacts, to the United States, years ago. Today everybody appreciates our new generation of airless containers, featuring total protection from air contamination and oxidation. They offer a high evacuation capability, extending the shelf life of the product.

Have you also noticed the evolution of our automatic click pens, for a wide range of applications in the cosmetics, hair care, pharmaceuticals and even shoe care industries? Only at 3C Inc. can customers choose from 16 different heads available in a click or push button dispensing system.

Customers can also ask for our assistance in choosing from hot stamping, offset, silk screen, embossing, debossing, anodizing, transfer foil, UV coating…and from standard shiny color or sprayed matte color, or metalizing in shiny or matte finish…to the popular soft touch, now available in any color.
