Nozzle, lotion pump, hand washing pump, and length measurement

1. Nozzle: bayonet (half bayonet aluminum, full bayonet aluminum), the screw is all plastic, but some are covered with a layer of aluminum cover and a layer of anodized aluminum.

2. Lotion pump: It is divided into vacuum and suction tubes, both of which are screw ports. The screw cap and head cap can also be covered with a layer of anodized aluminum. Divided into two kinds of sharp bill and duckbill.

3. Hand-washing pumps: the caliber is too large and they are all screw ports. The screw cap and head cap can also be covered with a layer of anodized aluminum. Generally, steps are threaded, and those without steps are left and right knobs.

Length measurement: the length of the sub-sipper tube (from the gasket to the end of the hose or FBOG length). Exposed length. And the length measured under the big hood (equal to the length from the bottle shoulder to the bottle bottom).

Specification classification: mainly depends on the product's inner diameter (the inner diameter is the innermost diameter of the pump) or the height of the large circle.

Nozzle: 15/18/20 MM full plastic also divided into 18/20/24

Lotion pump: 18/20/24 MM

Hand washing pump: 24/28/32(33) MM

Coloring process

1. Anodized aluminum: aluminum exterior, just one layer wrapped on the inner plastic.

2. Electroplating (UV): The effect is brighter than the spray image.

3. Spraying: Compared with electroplating, the color is dull.

Frosting: A layer of frosted texture.

Outer spraying of the inner bottle: spraying on the outside of the inner bottle has a clear gap between the outer bottle and the outer bottle. From the side, the spray pattern is small. Inner spraying on the outer bottle: It is sprayed on the inner side of the outer bottle, which looks larger in appearance. The area is small when viewed from the vertical plane. And there is no gap with the inner bottle.

Printing process

1. Silkscreen: The effect after printing has obvious concavity and convexity. Because it is a layer of ink. The silk-screened regular bottles (cylindrical type) can be printed at one time. And it is divided into two types: self-drying ink and UV ink. The self-drying ink is easy to fall off for a long time and can be wiped off with alcohol. UV ink has obvious bumps to the touch and is difficult to wipe off.

2. Hot stamping: a thin layer of paper is stamped on it. So there is no bumpy feel of silkscreen. And hot-stamping is best not directly on the two materials of PE and PP.

3. Water transfer: It is an irregular printing process carried out in the water. The printed lines are inconsistent. And the price is more expensive.

4. Thermal transfer: Thermal transfer is mostly used for large-volume and complex printing products. It belongs to attaching a film on the surface. The price is too expensive.

5. Offset printing: widely used in the cosmetic tube.
