Cosmetic packaging: a long-term battle between glass and plastic

Cosmetic market demands more and more on the appearance of packaging. Plastic cosmetics bottles and cosmetics tubes are widely used because of their durability. Glass cosmetics bottles give a noble appearance sense, so they are also the main materials in cosmetic packaging. The dazzling glass is very suitable for packaging of perfume bottles, and plastic cosmetic bottles and cosmetics tubes won the competition of cosmetic packaging materials with reasonable price and lighter quality.

Cosmetic packaging manufacturers try their best to find new and attractive cosmetic packaging, which highlights the inherent quality of products and the appeal on the shelf. Retailers have so many products on their shelves that force manufacturers to try to make their products look different from each other in cosmetic packaging. To make the product different, we must work hard in the design of packaging, the cap and the shape of the bottle body. Plastic cosmetics bottles and tubes packaging give cosmetic manufacturers many opportunities in this respect, and can produce many exquisite and innovative products at reasonable cost.

The strength, light weight and non-fragility of plastic cosmetics bottles and cosmetics tubes make them invincible in the competition. Moreover, a wide range of plastic packaging design can be realized and implemented in production in a short time. On the other hand, the competition in the cosmetics market is very fierce. The final decision of packaging design is usually decided in the last second of the product is about to be promoted, thus ensuring that the products are in line with the trend of market development and the taste demand of consumers.

This is the case that plastic cosmotic Bottle & tube manufacturers hold that makes it difficult for manufacturers to have no final design and finalization. Cosmet packaging manufacturers together produce skin care products of the bottle body and bottle cap, "in fact, the packaging of cosmetics does not reflect the latest taste and trend. Producers are trying to do this, but this requirement adds a burden on the technology and style of their products“ The company insists that the quality of packaging is essential and that the characteristics of the content products must be correctly communicated to consumers. The plastic materials available today are rich and colorful, which makes plastic cosmetic tube and bottle packaging manufacturers market high transparency and attractive packaging products.

PET bottles and containers have grown particularly rapidly in these product areas, including bath lotions, skin care products, cosmetics, and glass still occupies a place“ Consumers tend to look gorgeous and beautiful cosmetic packaging, so glass is the absolute first choice. However, the market is developing too fast, the development of a new glass bottle packaging cycle is relatively long, and the time and cost are too high. Wholesale contemporary containers supplier has seen a sharp rise in demand for spare glass bottles that can be designed to be any popular style.

Their main application range is concentrated in skin care products, bath lotion and cosmetics. "PET cosmetics bottles are the best packaging materials for some products," cosmotic bottle manufacturers said. Plastic is easy to handle, can be designed into many fashionable, transparent classic products“ In addition, PETcosmetics bottle has soft touch and can be decorated on its surface, which is the only packaging material. "Today, pet plastics are being used more and more widely, and we are confident that their future in cosmetic packaging will be broader," Mr. Hurrell continued

In the packaging industry, the importance of packaging design is not lost in the choice of packaging materials. Nowadays, popular products tend to adopt traditional packaging design. Some cosmetic suppliers have been packing cosmetics with glass and plastic a few years ago. The company believes that the cosmetics suitable for both men and women can be packaged in glass, which is concise and quick, which is very in line with the aesthetic requirements of young consumers. According to the company, glass materials are attractive because of its transparent and pure characteristics, can be independent of graphics, in line with environmental requirements. "Consumers are very concerned about environmental issues, and the choice of packaging materials and whether they can be recycled will affect the final decision to buy," a company spokesman said

"The quality of printing in plastic cosmetic packaging can be very high, and some luxury goods must be interpreted with this material," a spokesman for cosmetic packaging manufacturers continued According to the company, many cosmetics require non glass packaging materials, which is not related to practicality or formula. Many skin care products use plastic packaging effect is the best, easy to carry in bathroom or travel. However, the company also expressed concern about the compatibility of plastic cosmetic cosmetics containers and content products, and some products may react with the intrinsic components of plastic.

The bottle is processed by injection molding, and the nozzle mouth is bent by standard. The wall of the bottle is thick and hard. The company is considering using some reasonably cost frosted glass, which can be added with some color to bring unexpected effects to the product. Plastic containers are very convenient to use on the way to travel. Cosmetic packaging company has added a 10 ml oval container to its small volume packaging container, which is made of polypropylene, which is very suitable for travel, sports and vacation. It is reported that it is the smallest of the same packaging containers, and can be used for skin care products, sunscreen and deodorant.

The cosmetic packaging factory summarizes the advantages of glass as: "glass is cheap and environmentally friendly. No matter high-grade or low-grade cosmetics can be used, it will not fade or deform."

4. green packaging entering the agenda fresh-keeping packaging is a trend of fashion packaging developed in recent years, which refers to the small packaging used once. In order to prevent rich nutrients from spoilage rapidly due to the two pollutions, they are filled in tiny containers and run out at a time, just like small bottles or essence containers like royal jelly. Because of its high price, this cosmetics will not become the mainstream product in the market, but it is a symbol of the future fashion and luxury lifestyle, so it will have a stable consumer group. At present, the choice of cosmetic packaging materials in foreign countries attaches great importance to environmental protection, and cosmetics produced by domestic enterprises are also developing in this direction. Packaging designers will consider not only the publicity and protection of packaging materials, but also whether the materials are simple and can be recycled to the maximum extent. For example, if a bottle of emulsion bottle is made up of two materials, plastic and aluminum, it should be separated by simple operation for recycling. After the solid powder content is used up, a simple powder core can be purchased for replacement so that the box can be used continuously. Although the packaging cartons covered with plastic film are clean and elegant, the manufacturers who use the materials are not responsible for the living environment of human beings because they cannot be recycled.
