Detailed explanation of procurement of cosmetic plastic tubes

Plastic tube is the most commonly used appliance for cosmetic packaging, but there is a lot of knowledge in choosing the right plastic tube for cosmetics. For example, different plastic tube materials such as PP, acrylic, PET, etc., and different materials have different characteristics. Today, let’s go with the cosmetic tube manufacturer to take a look at the detailed knowledge of cosmetic plastic tube procurement.

Cosmetic plastic tubes are usually made of PP, PE, K material, AS, ABS, acrylic, PET, etc.

Generally used in cosmetics containers with thicker walls, cream tubes, tube caps, tube plugs, gaskets, pump heads and dust covers are injection molded; PET blowing tubes are two-step molding, and the tube embryo is injection molded, and the finished product The packaging is a blowing tube. Others, such as emulsion tubes and washing tubes with thin container walls, are blowing tubes.

Cosmetic tube PET material is an environmentally friendly material, with high barrier properties, light weight, non-breaking characteristics, chemical resistance, strong transparency, can be made into pearlescent, colored, magnetic white, and transparent. It is more suitable for filling gel water. widely. The tube ports are generally standard 16#, 18#, 22#, 24# calibers, which can be used with pump heads.

The acrylic material of the cosmetic tube is injection-molded tube, which has poor chemical resistance. Generally, it cannot be directly filled with paste. It needs to be equipped with an inner tank to prevent the filling from being too full to prevent the paste from entering the inner tank and the acrylic is soft. Between the tubes, to avoid cracks, the packaging requirements are high during transportation. It looks particularly obvious after scratches, has high permeability, and the sensory upper wall is extraordinarily thick, but the price is quite expensive.

AS, ABS: AS has better transparency and toughness than ABS.

The order quantity is generally 10,000, and the color can be customized. Usually the primary color is frosted and magnetic white, or the pearl powder effect is added. Although the tube and the cover are matched with the same color master, sometimes it is due to the material of the tube and the cover. It's not the same, the colors displayed are somewhat different.

Screen printing has ordinary ink and UV ink. UV ink has better effect, gloss and three-dimensional effect. It should be printed to confirm the color during production. The effect of screen printing on different materials will be different.

The processing technology of hot stamping and silver hot stamping for cosmetic tubes is different from that of printing gold powder and silver powder. Hard materials and smooth surfaces are more suitable for hot stamping and silver hot stamping. The hot stamping effect of soft surface is not good, and it is easy to fall off. The gloss is better than that of gold and silver.

The silk screen film should produce the negative film, the graphic effect is black, the background color is transparent, and the hot stamping and silver hot process need to produce the positive film, the graphic effect is transparent, and the background color is black. The proportion of text and pattern should not be too small or too thin, otherwise the effect will not be printed.

Cosmetic tube tube caps are generally equipped with inner gaskets, pull caps, inner plugs, and a small number of them are equipped with small spoons or droppers. This is mainly due to its tightness and ease of use.

The production cycle of cosmetic tube manufacturers is relatively moderate, about 15 days. The silk-printed cylindrical tube is calculated as a single color, and flat tubes or special-shaped tubes are calculated as two-color or multi-color. Usually, the first silk-screened screen is required. Edition fee or fixture fee.

"Green cosmetic tube" is a product concept that has become popular among international cosmetics brands in recent years. In order to express their brand attitude of supporting environmental protection, many international well-known brands have launched a variety of environmentally friendly cosmetic tubes. Environmental awareness should indeed become an important brand concept that all cosmetic tube manufacturers have, but it should not be a marketing gimmick for cosmetic tube manufacturers. Manufacturers of cosmetic tubes should use correct methods and technologies to reflect environmental protection and realize true social value.

Sustainable development drives the innovation of cosmetic tube materials

The degradable plastics industry is developing rapidly. To reduce waste, many cosmetic tube material manufacturers and related scientific research institutions use recycled plastics in cosmetic tubes, and develop and use natural polymer materials as raw materials to prepare environmentally friendly and biodegradable materials. The new type of cosmetic tube material. The pulp molded cosmetic tube is a substitute for foam plastic, mixing plant fibers to reduce the use of plastic. As an emerging environmental protection industry, there is huge market development space.
