Analysis of Material Selection for Cosmetic Bottles

Cosmetic bottle packaging has always been a key production area for packaging manufacturers. Compared with other packaging, cosmetic bottle packaging has greater profits and market space. Therefore, the design and development of cosmetic bottle packaging has always been popular with bottle manufacturers. Therefore, the styles and materials of cosmetic bottles are becoming more and more diverse. Today, let’s talk about the materials of cosmetic bottle packaging.

What materials are cosmetic bottles made of?

According to the material, they can be divided into plastic, glass, and aluminum. These three materials are the most common materials for cosmetic bottles. Plastic and glass are mostly used for bottles, such as cream bottles, essence bottles, set bottles, etc. Aluminum materials are mostly used for tube products, such as lipstick tubes, mascara tubes, etc., which are light and comfortable to the touch.

How to choose the material of cosmetic bottles

First consider the properties of the product, and then determine the material used

For example, if you need a vacuum bottle, you can only look in the direction of plastic. If you go to the high-end market, you have to look in the direction of glass bottles and acrylic bottles. If your product iteration is fast, it is recommended not to consider aluminum tubes, because aluminum tubes have a long delivery period, so different products consider that the material will be very different.

Consider the combination of product and packaging material costs

For example, when looking for plastic bottles, there are many categories of plastics: PET plastic, PP plastic, PETG plastic, AS plastic. When the product is in the low-end market, acrylic bottles and glass bottles will cause great cost pressure, so other plastic bottle products can be used instead. For example, although PP plastic is not as hard as acrylic, its transparency and hardness are still acceptable, and the important thing is that it is cheap.

Plastic material analysis

First, PET cosmetic bottles, many transparent and lightweight plastic cosmetic bottles are basically made of PET, and PET still accounts for a high proportion in the field of cosmetic bottle packaging. Secondly, acrylic cosmetic bottles, acrylic bottles look very similar to glass, with exquisite appearance and high grade, but the cost is lower than glass, so they are very popular. Thirdly, PE cosmetic bottles are mainly used to package lotions, with an opaque appearance and usually white. Next, glass cosmetic bottles, glass cosmetic bottles have always been the main packaging form of cosmetics, and glass cosmetic bottles meet the high-end temperament requirements of cosmetic packaging. Finally, metal cosmetic bottles. For some luxury cosmetic bottle packaging, they are willing to use metal appearance. Of course, in recent years, plastic bags, paper boxes and wooden products have been used for cosmetic packaging, but the above types are still the mainstream forms.
