Cosmetic packaging materials are divided into main container and auxiliary materials.
The main container usually includes: plastic bottles, glass bottles, tubes, and airless bottles. Auxiliary materials usually include color box, office box, and middle box.
This article mainly talks about plastic bottles, please find the following information.
1. The material of cosmetic plastic bottle is usually PP, PE, PET, AS, ABS, PETG, silicone, etc.
2. Generally used in cosmetics containers with thicker walls, cream jars, caps, stoppers, gaskets, pumps, and dust covers are injection molded; PET bottle blowing is two-step molding, the preform is injection molding, and the finished product is packaged as blow molding.
3. The PET material is an environmentally friendly material with high barrier properties, light weight, not fragile, and chemical resistance. The material is extremely transparent and can be made into pearlescent, colored and porcelain color. It is widely used in daily chemical products and skin care products. Bottle mouths are generally standard #18, #20, #24 and #28 calibers, which can be matched with caps, spray pumps, lotion pumps, etc.
4. Acrylic is made of injection molding bottle, which has poor chemical resistance. Generally, it cannot be directly filled with formula. It needs to be blocked by an inner cup or inner bottle. The filling is not recommended to be too full to prevent the formula from entering between the inner bottle and the outer bottle 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 very thick, but the price is very expensive.
5. AS\ABS: AS has better transparency and toughness than ABS. However, AS materials are prone to react with some special formulations and cause cracking. ABS has good adhesion and is suitable for electroplating and spraying processes.
6. Mold development cost: The cost of blowing molds ranges from US$600 to US$2000. The cost of the mold varies according to the volume requirements of the bottle and the number of cavities. If the customer has a large order and requires a faster delivery time, they can choose 1 to 4 or 1 to 8 cavity molds. The injection mold is 1,500 US dollars to 7,500 US dollars, and the price is related to the required weight of the material and the complexity of the design. Topfeelpack Co., Ltd. is very good at providing high-quality mold services and has rich experience in completing complex molds.
7. MOQ: The custom-made MOQ for blowing bottles is generally 10,000pcs, which can be the color that customers want. If customers want common colors such as transparent, white, brown, etc., sometimes the customer can provide stock products. Which meet the requirements of low MOQ and fast delivery. It is worth noting that although the same color masterbatch is used in one batch of production, there will be a color difference between the colors of the bottle and the closure due to the different materials.
8. Printing: Screen printing has common ink and UV ink. UV ink has better effect, gloss and three-dimensional effect. It should be printed to confirm the color during production. Silk-screen printing on different materials will have different performance effects.
9. Hot stamping and other processing techniques are suitable for the completion of hard materials and smooth surfaces. The soft surface is unevenly stressed, the effect of hot stamping is not good, and it is easy to fall off. At this time, the method of printing gold and silver can be used. Instead, it is recommended to communicate with customers.
10. The silkscreen should have a film, the graphic effect is black, and the background color is transparent. The hot-stamping and hot-silvering process must produce positive film, the graphic effect is transparent, and the background color is black. The proportion of text and pattern should not be too fine, otherwise the effect will not be printed.
