Gansu Constar Technology Group offers a single-source packaging program that consolidates printed blister foil, retail cartons, leaflets, and kit assembly for private label contact lens brands, reducing lead times and eliminating supply chain mismatches that typically occur when working with multiple suppliers.
- The global contact lens packaging market is projected to grow from $2.53 billion in 2026 to $4.10 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 5.5%.
- Traditional private label programs involve multiple suppliers (separate printers for foil and cartons, leaflet manufacturers, and packers), adding lead time and introducing color mismatches and regulatory inconsistencies.
- Single-source packaging consolidates primary packaging, secondary packaging, and kit assembly under one roof with production completed in 30 to 45 days regardless of order size.
- Gansu Constar holds FDA 510(k) clearance, CE 0197 marking, and ISO 13485 certification, with national registrations across Australia, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam.

According to the FDA, contact lenses are the number one choice for many people with vision correction needs. They provide the flexibility and convenience consumers want, in packaging that meets their needs.
Towards Packaging predicts the global contact lenses packaging market to expand from $2.53 billion in 2026 to $4.10 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2026 to 2035. The market is driven by the increasing prevalence of vision disorders as well as the rise of e-commerce, eco-conscious consumer preferences, and increasing awareness of eye health.
To help support this growing market, Gansu Constar Technology Group Co., Ltd. confirms a single-source packaging program for brands launching their own contact lens lines, consolidating printed blister foil, retail cartons, leaflets, inserts and co-branded starter kits under one production roof.
According to the company, private label programs typically involve several suppliers before a product reaches a shelf: one printer for the blister foil, another for the carton, a third for the leaflet, and a packer to assemble the finished unit. Every handoff adds lead time and introduces a mismatch risk — a color that does not match between foil and carton, a regulatory statement that appears on the leaflet but not on the label, or a pack count that does not align with the carton artwork.
“Packaging is where private label projects quietly lose weeks,” said a spokesperson for Gansu Constar Technology Group. “The lens is ready, but the carton artwork is still in revision, and the foil printer is a different company working to a different schedule. Consolidating the package changes the critical path, not just the invoice.”
The program aims to solve these challenges by bringing the complete retail package under one roof:
• Primary packaging — printed blister foil produced to the brand’s own artwork.
• Secondary packaging — the retail carton, the patient leaflet and any insert.
• Kit assembly — multi-purpose solution, eye wash and co-branded starter kits (https://www.constarfactory.com/products/), so a first order can ship as a shelf-ready retail unit rather than a lens that still needs packaging from a third party.
Diving into the Details
In the United States, soft contact lenses intended for daily wear are Class II medical devices under 21 CFR 886.5925. Because label copy is a regulatory product rather than a design choice, artwork is reviewed against the requirements of each destination market before a print run is released. Manufacturer name and address, device classification, the referenced clearance or certificate, storage conditions, and language requirements all vary by jurisdiction.
Constar operates as a private label contact lens manufacturer for brand owners, distributors, and e-commerce sellers, covering pattern selection, lens material, optical parameters, and packaging within a single program. Buyers comparing suppliers can also work through the company’s 12-point manufacturer scorecard, which puts each claim against a document the buyer can request and verify.
Production runs are completed in 30 to 45 days regardless of order size, and the end-to-end window from brief to delivery is approximately 55 days on catalogue patterns. Minimum order quantities are set per SKU rather than per order and are structured to support a first order from an emerging brand, with the unit basis confirmed in writing before any commitment.
Gansu Constar Technology Group Co., Ltd. operates six production facilities across Gansu and Hunan provinces with a combined capacity of 15 million lenses per month. The company holds FDA 510(k) clearance, CE 0197 marking and ISO 13485 certification, alongside national registrations in Australia, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
