MeFactory Lot Mark Guide | compacts, tubes, pencils and colour cosmetics

Before checking a MeFactory date, identify the item among compacts, tubes, pencils and colour cosmetics. The variable line may sit at pencil barrel or tube base; compact underside and carton flap help recognise a shallow embossed line.

MeFactory FAQ

Which is the better starting point for the shallow embossed line on MeFactory, pencil barrel or tube base?

Start with pencil barrel, tube base, compact underside and carton flap. Keep shallow embossed line tied to the surface where it appears, and write down uncertain characters rather than silently substituting a likely digit.

How should fixed label text be separated from the MeFactory shallow embossed line near pencil barrel?

The shallow embossed line should be copied on its own; MeFactory's barcode, size, shade or scent, distributor reference and PAO are separate label fields. Compare shallow embossed line at pencil barrel with any variable print at carton flap; the useful candidate should vary independently of those permanent label fields.

What should be checked beyond the MeFactory shallow embossed line on pencil barrel when odor or texture changes?

For MeFactory, a shallow embossed line on pencil barrel or tube base is only a timing clue. Record any second variable mark on compact underside separately. Assess odor, texture, colour payoff, applicator condition and storage history directly.

MeFactory compacts, tubes, pencils and colour cosmetics: date and lot-marking guide

Before you rely on the decoded date

  • Locate shallow embossed line by comparing pencil barrel, tube base, compact underside and carton flap. Work on one physical package at a time and retain the mark's print method while checking one package panel at a time.
  • The barcode, capacity, variant name, market reference and PAO are fixed label fields on MeFactory, not the shallow embossed line. Preserve the mark's placement between pencil barrel and carton flap while checking one package panel at a time.

Common lookup mistakes

  • Capture pencil barrel, tube base and compact underside under even light, including enough of the MeFactory package to identify it. Preserve the exact position of shallow embossed line, not just its characters.
  • For opened MeFactory, inspect odor, texture, colour payoff and applicator condition on their own; the date is only context. If pencil barrel and carton flap do not agree, retain both locations and use the PAO period from the exact package rather than a similar variant; an estimated date does not override deterioration or uncertain storage.

What to check next for MeFactory
