About Solmates

Solmates is a leading supplier of innovative refillable roll-on applicators, designed to help consumers move away from single-use plastics.

Their compact and sustainable containers are ideal for repeated use with various fluids, especially sunscreens, creams, and lotions. By offering a reusable and practical solution, Solmates is empowering individuals to make more environmentally responsible choices in their daily routines.

Brief Introduction

This case study details the design and production of a new packaging solution for Solmate’s refill roller applicator, focusing on functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability.

We developed 13 unique auto-lock bottom box designs, each crafted from recycled white Kraft paper and finished with a Matt varnish. This combination delivered a packaging solution that was both practical and visually striking.

Key Features of the Packaging:

Auto-Lock Bottom Box:

Ensures easy assembly and secure product containment during transit.
Eliminates the need for additional adhesives, streamlining the packaging process.

Recycled White Kraft Paper:

Made from 100% recycled materials, aligning with Solmate’s commitment to sustainability.
Provides a sturdy yet eco-friendly solution for product packaging.

Matt Varnish Finish:

Delivers a smooth, tactile feel that enhances the unboxing experience.
Adds a premium, understated aesthetic that reflects Solmate’s brand identity.

Hear from the Clients

“As a small business, our partnership with Primepac has been very important and their flexibility, great customer service, and responsiveness to our needs have made them a trusted collaborator.

Sustainability is at the heart of every decision we make at Solmates, including our packaging. We needed materials that were 100% recycled and recyclable while upholding the highest quality standards—Primepac helped us achieve this without compromising on cost-effectiveness. Being an Australian company, we also had confidence in their ethical standards.

When developing our new packaging range, we collaborated closely with Primepac to bring our vision to life. We wanted to showcase our vibrant mix of colours across the range while preserving our signature clean, modern aesthetic. Achieving the perfect shades was a challenge, as each colour needed to precisely represent its corresponding applicator—but their expertise made it possible.”
