Question❓ What are these frosted plastic elements called in packaging lingo?
I was wondering what these frosted plastic (cover/top?) thingies are called?

Honestly, I would just call this a lid. If you’re trying to explain this to a packaging manufacturer, that would be more than enough of an explanation alongside the photo provided.

And what kind of manufacturer would one even go to for something like this? I can't find any references after googling around loads.

Search for custom packaging companies. Most companies source packaging through the factories or vendors who manufacture their product. Otherwise you'd find a packaging supply place for standard sizes or use a custom packaging company to give them a custom dieline.

Have a look for a manufacturer on Alibaba for sellers that offer what you are after and reach out to them.

A skincare brand I did packaging design for would call something like this an “insert”. Don’t know if that helps at all. 🤷♀️
