Cosmetics, Beauty
French term or phrase: sous étui
Hello,

I am having trouble translating 'sous étui'.

It is referring to the sizes/format available for certain cosmetic products.
Examples of use :
Pot 50ml, sous étui.
Flacon pompe 30ml, sous étui.
Tube 50ml, sous étui.

In the same document I have references to Tube 50ml, Flacon pompe 30ml or Pot 50ml. Would 'sous étui' be referring to a refill??

Thankyou for any ideas!
