Quick answer: Choose the 4029 hard shell makeup case when the project needs a rigid body, adjustable dividers, a lighted mirror, powered operation and a resettable combination lock. Choose the 3329 makeup organizer bag when lower empty weight, removable pouch organization and flexible carrying matter more. The 4029 measures approximately 40 × 29 × 16 cm and weighs about 2 kg empty; the 3329 measures approximately 35 × 27 × 33 cm and weighs about 1.1 kg empty.
These products may hold similar cosmetics, but they do not solve the same purchasing problem. The 4029 keeps products inside one structured case. The 3329 divides them among four removable pouches inside a soft Oxford bag. That difference affects how a kit is packed, displayed, carried and customized.
This guide uses the 4029 hard shell makeup case and the 3329 1680D Oxford makeup organizer bag as practical references for wholesale and private-label decisions.
4029 and 3329 specification comparison
The figures above describe the current reference configurations. Internal usable space, divider placement, accessories and production tolerances should be checked on the sample used for order approval.
Volume context: useful, but not a usable-capacity claim
The 33.0 L figure used in the 3599 article belongs to the 3599 modular trolley-case layout; it should not be reused for the 3329 organizer bag.
For this comparison, the following figures are only geometric references calculated from the published external or module dimensions:
The figures should not be used to claim that one product holds a precise number of litres more than the other. The 4029 needs verified internal dimensions before an internal-capacity figure can be published. This is especially important because the divider layout, lining, mirror structure and electrical components affect usable space.
The main decision is storage access, not appearance
The 4029 uses one hard-shell body with dividers placed around the contents. When the case is opened, products remain visible in a single layout. This works well when the assortment is already known and the buyer wants each bottle, palette or tool to have a defined position.
The 3329 takes a different approach. Its cosmetics are grouped inside four removable pouches. A user can lift out one category without opening or emptying the others. That is useful for salon kits, makeup schools, promotional programs and mobile work where products are replenished or moved in groups.
Before selecting either format, make a simple contents list. Record the size of the largest bottle, device or palette, then decide whether the items should stay visible inside one case or move as separate modules. That decision is more useful than comparing exterior dimensions alone.
When the 4029 hard shell makeup case makes more sense
The 4029 is the stronger candidate when the project calls for a rigid presentation, a lighted mirror and a fixed internal layout. Its PC shell and aluminum-alloy frame add stiffness around the contents and help the case retain its shape better than a textile bag under ordinary handling.
The frame should not be described as impossible to deform. Compression and drop performance depend on the packed load, impact direction, drop height and final assembly. If a buyer has a specific test requirement, it belongs in the sample and inspection specification.
The 4029 is particularly relevant when the program needs:
– dividers arranged around a defined cosmetics assortment;
– a lighted mirror for application or product demonstration;
– a resettable combination lock;
– a slow-rebound handle designed to reduce sudden handle return and finger pinching;
– a rear band that secures the case to a compatible luggage handle; or
– a hard-shell format for retail sets, professional kits or branded programs.
Its shallow body also creates a different presentation from the taller 3329. Products can be displayed across the open case rather than stacked through several removable modules.
When the 3329 organizer bag is the practical choice
The 3329 weighs approximately 0.9 kg less when empty and approximately 1.3 kg less when packed than the 4029 reference package. For programs sensitive to carrying weight or sample-shipping weight, that difference is worth including in the quotation comparison.
Its two large removable pouches measure approximately 23.5 × 19 × 8.5 cm each. The two smaller pouches measure approximately 19 × 13 × 8.5 cm each. Because the pouches can be removed separately, the layout is easier to reorganize without rebuilding a fixed divider grid.
The 3329 is usually the better fit when the buyer needs:
– a lighter soft-sided organizer;
– four removable storage modules;
– a 180° front opening;
– shoulder carrying as well as a rear trolley sleeve;
– separate pouches for different product categories or users; or
– flexible pouch dimensions and quantities for an OEM kit.
For pouch sizing, branding and sample checks, see the OEM makeup organizer bag guide.
Adjustable dividers and removable pouches are not interchangeable
Adjustable dividers are useful when the contents need to stay visible and accessible inside one case. They can be repositioned to suit different product widths, but the layout still depends on the available internal depth and the stability of the divider assembly.
Removable pouches are better when contents need to travel as groups. They add another opening step, but they can keep small products together and make kit replenishment easier.
For a useful sample review, pack the same representative products into both formats. Check whether tall items remain upright, whether small items move between compartments, whether cables can be separated from cosmetics and whether frequently used products can be reached without disturbing the rest of the kit.
4029 mirror, lighting and power specification
The standard 4029 lighting reference uses three color-temperature settings:
These use cases are guidance rather than proof that the case reproduces every real environment. During sampling, review brightness, color consistency, mirror size and control response with the cosmetics intended for the finished kit.
The case can receive power through a direct connection or a compatible power bank. The quotation should identify the lighting module, input requirement, connector, cable and power-bank compatibility. Mirror configuration can also be customized, but changes to its size, lighting layout or electrical assembly need to be reviewed before sampling.
Water resistance needs a clear boundary
The PC shell has a wipe-clean surface and can help protect the contents from incidental splashes. That does not make the complete powered case waterproof. Seams, locks, cable openings, lighting parts and electrical connections remain relevant.
For accurate product copy, use wording such as:
If a project requires a defined water-resistance test, agree on the test method and acceptance criteria before production. Do not infer a waterproof rating from the shell material alone.
OEM options should follow the selected structure
Both products support private-label development, but their customizable parts are different.
For the 4029, the discussion can cover:
– logo method and placement;
– PC shell and aluminum-frame colors;
– lining color, material or pattern;
– divider position, dimensions and quantity;
– mirror size and configuration;
– lock, handle and hardware details;
– packaging, outer cartons and shipping marks
The standard lighting and power arrangement should be listed separately in the specification. Any requested electrical change needs a feasibility review before it is promised in a quotation.
For the 3329, the discussion can cover:
– logo application;
– Oxford fabric and lining colors or patterns;
– removable-pouch dimensions and quantity;
– PVC-top color or material;
– zippers, webbing and hardware;
– packaging, outer cartons and shipping marks.
Send the intended contents and branding requirements with the first inquiry. A contents list gives the sampling team something concrete to build around and reduces layout changes after the sample is opened.
MOQ, samples and quotation preparation
The reference MOQ is 100 units for the 4029 and 200 units for the 3329. Sample production is approximately 15 days, while bulk production is generally approximately 25–35 days after the final specification and sample are approved. Actual timing depends on the selected materials, customization and packaging.
Include the following information in the quotation request:
1. model and expected order quantity;
2. destination market and required delivery date;
3. logo artwork and preferred branding method;
4. shell, frame, fabric and lining color references;
5. the intended contents and largest item dimensions;
6. divider or removable-pouch layout;
7. mirror, lighting and power requirements for the 4029;
8. packaging, carton marks and inspection requirements.
These details allow both quotations to be compared on the same basis. A lower unit price is not meaningful if the supplier has quoted a different mirror, hardware set, divider layout or packaging method.
After selecting the suitable format, confirm the actual construction and customized details on the pre-production sample. See the makeup bag quality checklist for the points to record before approving the order.
Final recommendation
Choose the 4029 hard shell makeup case for a structured PC-shell case with an aluminum-alloy frame, adjustable dividers, a customizable lighted mirror, powered operation and lockable storage.
Choose the 3329 makeup organizer bag for a lighter 1680D Oxford format with four removable pouches and more flexible carrying options.
A wholesale range can use both: the 4029 as its structured lighted case and the 3329 as its lighter modular organizer. If you need a recommendation for a private-label program, provide the intended contents, target quantity, branding requirements and destination market so the proposed layout can be matched to the quotation and sample.
This comparison is based on current Obeautycase reference configurations from Guangdong Qihui Cases Co., Ltd. The company operates as an integrated manufacturer and trading company, with a 40,000 m² production facility and an internal inspection function. Product-specific materials, functions and acceptance criteria should still be confirmed in the final quotation and approved sample.
Frequently asked questions
Is a hard shell makeup case better than a makeup organizer bag?
It depends on the kit. A hard shell case is better suited to a structured divider layout, powered lighting and lockable storage. A soft organizer bag is lighter and works well when products need to be separated into removable modules.
Is the complete 4029 makeup case waterproof?
It should not be presented as completely waterproof. The PC shell is water-resistant and easy to wipe clean, but the complete case includes seams, hardware, lighting and power components. Keep those components dry and do not immerse the case.
Can the 4029 mirror and divider layout be customized?
Yes. Mirror configuration and the position, dimensions and quantity of dividers can be discussed for an OEM project. Final feasibility, appearance and function should be checked during sampling.
What light settings does the 4029 use?
The standard reference uses warm 3000K, natural 4500K and cool 6500K settings. Buyers should check brightness, color consistency, controls and the final electrical configuration on the sample.
Can the 4029 be powered by a power bank?
The reference configuration supports a direct power connection or a compatible power bank. Confirm the input requirement, connector and supplied accessories in the quotation.
What are the MOQ and lead times?
The reference MOQ is 100 units for the 4029 and 200 units for the 3329. Samples take approximately 15 days, and bulk production generally takes approximately 25–35 days after final approval. Customized materials or structures can affect the schedule.
