A palette and a boxed bottle can be the same length and still belong in different parts of a makeup bag. The HZB-3 makes that distinction easy to see when laid flat: a wide center compartment sits between two narrower side compartments, each with its own zipper. Once packed, the side compartments fold inward and an outer magnetic snap fastens the bag for carrying.
For a brand choosing a bag for a cosmetic kit, the useful question is whether its particular assortment works in both positions: open for access and folded for carrying. Here is how to evaluate that on a sample.
Match the package shape to the compartment
We measured the interior of the HZB-3 sample. Dimensions are approximate and listed as length × width × height.
| Compartment | Internal dimensions |
|---|---|
| Center compartment | 23 × 23 × 7 cm |
| Each side compartment | 11 × 23 × 5.5 cm |
All three compartments have a 23 cm internal edge. The difference is the room alongside it. The center has a roughly square footprint and is 7 cm deep. A side compartment has an 11 cm span across its narrower dimension and is 5.5 cm deep. When deciding where to place a palette, compare its width and thickness as well as its length. If a bottle will be sold in a carton, use the dimensions of the carton.
The product photograph shows bottles and jars in the center, with a slim palette, tubes and smaller cosmetics at the sides. That is one way to pack the bag. When we packed the sample, we generally left items where we first placed them. When one compartment was full, we put the next item in another compartment with room. A brand can use the same approach without assigning a fixed product category to each section.
Check access through the U-shaped opening
Each compartment has one U-shaped zipper running along three sides. The fourth side stays attached, so the cover folds back. The photograph of the open center compartment shows the clear cover folded away and a bottle being handled. A buyer can see how the bottle is reached while the two side sections remain in place.
For sample approval, choose an item whose shape makes access worth checking. It might be a broad compact, a rigid carton or a bottle that users will take out frequently. Place it in its intended compartment with the neighboring items, then take it out again. The compartment dimensions help you choose where to try it. The sample shows whether there is room to grasp and remove it in that arrangement. The length of the zipper around three sides would not answer that question.
Fold the packed bag and fasten the magnetic snap
- Zip all three compartments closed. Keep the products in the positions you intend to use for the finished kit.
- Fold the two side compartments inward toward the center. This brings the open organizer into its carrying shape.
- Fasten the outer magnetic snap. Check that the two halves align with the assortment in place. The folded bag can then be carried by its top handle.
The zippers secure the individual compartments; the magnetic snap holds the folded bag closed. Check both before approving the assortment. If all three zippers close but the snap does not align easily, reopen the bag and look at where the thicker packages meet as the sections fold. That observation is more useful than assuming that every item within the bag’s exterior dimensions will fit the packed arrangement.
Record the arrangement your team approves
Photograph the same assortment twice: first with the bag open so the placement is visible, then with the bag folded and the snap fastened. Note which items were boxed and which compartment held each one. This gives the buyer and supplier a shared reference for the approved kit.
That record is especially useful if the retail packaging changes. A bottle approved loose may take up a different amount of space once boxed. Recheck that item in its intended compartment, then fold and fasten the complete bag again.
