What is the starting point for cosmetic tube design

2021-10-19

With the gradual development of the current social market, cosmetic tube design for cosmetic tube manufacturer is also tilted towards user research. With the advancement of technology and the improvement of living standards, consumers are increasingly demanding cosmetics which take cosmetic packaging tubes. This also puts forward higher requirements for the cosmetic tube design, not only to enhance the aesthetics of the cosmetic tube from the appearance, but also to improve the function and user experience. To achieve these, user research needs to be done. The design of cosmetic tube should be based on the needs of consumers for cosmetic tube suppliers. This is also the experience summed up by professional cosmetic tube design companies through actual combat.

Find an entry point from the perspective of a cosmetic tube manufacturer, some cosmetic tube manufacturers have expertise, some cosmetic tube manufacturers pay more attention to cosmetic tube marketing, and some cosmetic tube manufacturers have formed their manufacturing oem & odm service brands after years of precipitation. Different technologies need to pass the cosmetic tube; the best-selling cosmetic tube will gradually establish a brand; by precipitating and accumulating a certain brand, its brand image and characteristics will be in the minds of consumers; so the starting point of the industrial cosmetic tube design can be from the following aspects start with: or technology, or market, or brand, or a combination of many aspects.

And from the user's point of view, abandon personal prejudice, treat yourself as a user, and imagine what kind of cosmetic tube you need more and which aspects can be perfected. In the process of cosmetic tube design, it is necessary to learn to determine the choice, abandon the part that conflicts with the user's requirements, and seek a better design plan.

Consumers’ demand for cosmetic tubes is no longer in passive consumption. Consumers have certain decisions about what cosmetic tube they want to buy. Every cosmetic tube design needs to find its entry point. The design of cosmetic tube can only start from the needs of users, find out the potential needs of users, and modify and improve the cosmetic tube in a targeted manner, so that the cosmetic tube can be what users want, and the user experience can be improved, and the market competitiveness of the cosmetic tube can be improved. Let cosmetic tube occupy a favorable position in the market.

The structural design principles of cosmetic tube are the basic ideas and rules followed in the structural design of cosmetic tube. These basic rules make the structural design of cosmetic tube more reasonable. Whether plastic cosmetic tube or hardware cosmetic tube, the principle of cosmetic tube structural design from cosmetic tube manufacturers includes reasonable selection of materials, Choose a reasonable structure, simplify the mold structure and cost control as much as possible.

01. Reasonable selection of materials

All cosmetic tubes are made of different materials by cosmetic tube factories. When suppliers are designing a cosmetic tube, the first thing to consider is the selection of materials. The material not only determines the function of the cosmetic tube, but also determines the price of the cosmetic tube. How to choose the material reasonably? Different application places have different requirements for cosmetic tube materials. If it is a daily makeup in need of cosmetic tube, the material of the cosmetic tube should be made of materials with good strength, easy to handle, not easy to rust, not easy to wear, and easy to form, such as PC, ABS, PC+ABS, etc. The metal materials are aluminum, zinc alloy. Before designing the cosmetic tube, the market positioning of the cosmetic tube will also have an impact on the selection of materials. The quality of cosmetic tube is divided into high-grade, mid-grade and low-grade. Different grades of cosmetic tubes correspond to different markets. For high-end cosmetic tubes, cosmetic tube manufacturers should choose the best in material selection for customers, mid-range cosmetic tubes have acceptable material performance, and low-end cosmetic tubes use materials to reduce costs as much as possible.

The function of the cosmetic tube is different, and the material selection is also different. Some cosmetic tubes have massage functions, and massage will inevitably bring about wear. Therefore, wear-resistant materials must be considered in the selection of materials.

Every cosmetic tube business has its own supplier, including material suppliers. For the same cosmetic tube, there are several materials that meet the design requirements of the cosmetic tube, and the prices are different. Which material to choose should be considered in accordance with the actual situation of the cosmetics.

The structural design of the cosmetic tube is not as complicated as possible. On the contrary, under the premise of satisfying the function of the cosmetic tube, the simpler the structure, the better, the simpler the structure, the easier it is for mold making, and the simpler the structure, the easier it is for production and assembly. There will be fewer problems.

The design of the cosmetic tube structure is not allowed to have redundant structure. The redundant structure means waste of design time, increased difficulty in mold processing, and waste of materials.

After the design of the cosmetic tube is completed, a mold is needed to form it. When designing the cosmetic tube, it is necessary to ensure that the cosmetic tube can be manufactured through the mold in cosmetic tube factories. No matter how reliable the structural design of the cosmetic tube is, the mold cannot be realized or it is difficult to realize the unqualified structure. As a cosmetic tube manufacturer, you must have a certain understanding of the mold, understand the basic structure of the mold, the molding method of the cosmetic tube, and the way of ejecting the mold. Only in this way can you simplify the mold structure as much as possible when designing the cosmetic tube.

Take an example to illustrate that mold undercut is a structure that affects the normal ejection of the mold. The mechanism for solving the undercut on the mold usually uses sliders and inclined tops, but this will increase the complexity of the mold and the cost of mold manufacturing. When designing the structure of cosmetic tube, try to deal with the mold undercut to make the cosmetic tube out of the mold normally. For example, some internal buckles can simplify the mold structure by rubbing through or bumping through. However, some undercuts can only retain undercuts, which can only be achieved by adding sliders or inclined tops to the mold.

Therefore, in the design of the cosmetic tube, the simplified mold must also be simplified after satisfying the basic requirements of the cosmetic tube. Cost control starts from the beginning of cosmetic tube design.
