Wholesale Sunscreen Packaging

As the summer season approaches, the significance of sunscreen becomes increasingly paramount in our daily routines. However, beyond the formulation of the sunscreen itself lies a crucial element often overlooked yet equally vital: sunscreen packaging covering sunscreen tubes, sunscreen bottles, sunscreen jars and more. As we gear up for sun-soaked days and outdoor adventures, understanding the importance of sunscreen packaging is essential for safeguarding our skin and preserving the efficacy of these protective potions.

Understanding all types of sunscreen packaging

Sunscreen packaging comes in diverse shapes paired with different closures, caps, applicators for smooth dispensing and absorption, each serving unique purposes to ensure the effectiveness, convenience, and safety of the product. From traditional squeeze tubes to innovative spray bottles and everything in between.

Types of Sunscreen Tubes:

Squeeze Tubes: These are the most common type of sunscreen tubes, featuring a flexible plastic body that allows users to squeeze out the desired amount of sunscreen.

Flip-Top Sunscreen Tubes: Flip-top tubes have a hinged cap that flips open and closed, providing quick and easy access to the sunscreen. The cap remains attached to the tube, reducing the risk of misplacement.

Pump Sunscreen Tubes: Equipped with a pump mechanism, these tubes dispense the sunscreen in measured doses with each press, offering precise control over the amount of product dispensed.

Roll-On Sunscreen Tubes: Roll-on tubes feature a rollerball applicator that distributes the sunscreen evenly onto the skin with a simple rolling motion, providing a mess-free application.

Squeeze Pump Tubes: These combine the convenience of a squeeze tube with the precision of a pump dispenser, featuring a pump mechanism activated by squeezing the sides of the tube

Applicators:

Sunscreen tubes typically feature applicators such as nozzles or rollerballs to facilitate the even distribution of sunscreen onto the skin.

Nozzles come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different application preferences, ranging from narrow tips for precise application to wider openings for broader coverage.

Rollerball applicators provide a mess-free application and are particularly convenient for applying sunscreen to small or hard-to-reach areas..

Closures:

Closures on sunscreen tubes vary depending on the type of tube. Flip-top sunscreen tubes have hinged caps that flip open and closed, pump tubes have pump dispensers with closure caps, and squeeze tubes often have screw-on or snap-on caps.

Materials:

Sunscreen tubes are typically made from plastic materials such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or a combination of both, or new sustainable materials like kraft paper, sugarcane, pcr plastics, aluminum and more.

These materials are chosen for their durability, sustainability, flexibility, and resistance to moisture and UV radiation, ensuring the integrity of the sunscreen throughout its shelf life.

Sunscreen bottle

 Plastic Sunscreen Bottles: Plastic is one of the most common materials used for sunscreen bottles bulk production due to its affordability, lightweight nature, recycalbility and durability. Polyethylene (PET) and High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) are popular choices for sunscreen packaging as they are resistant to breakage and offer better barrier properties to protect the sunscreen from light and air exposure. Nevertheless, some may choose acrylic for sunblock bottle manufacture. Compared with PET, HDPE, Acrylic sunscreen bottle provides more sleek and sophisticated appearance, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the sunscreen bottle packaging. Its high transparency allows consumers to easily view the product inside, showcasing the color and texture of the sunscreen formulation. Acrylic has inherent UV-blocking properties.
