Cosmetic Bottle Packaging Is Mainly Made Of Plastic And Glass

Over the years, China's cosmetics market has grown at an average annual rate of 15%, and has begun to take shape. In 2002, the total sales of the whole market reached 45 billion yuan. It is predicted that its total market sales will reach 80 billion yuan in 2010. As the main packaging materials in this market, plastic and glass will also have a greater use.

The general cosmetics are mostly liquid, emulsion or paste, and do not have a distinctive appearance. It must pass exquisite and unique packaging design to show its own characteristics. Therefore, cosmetics generally rely on packaging to achieve good sales. Plastic and glass are the main cosmetic packaging container materials currently used, and the amount of plastic is the most.

Although cosmetics have many varieties and different functions, they mainly fall into the following categories in terms of their external forms and packaging adaptability: solid cosmetics, solid granular (powder) cosmetics, liquid and emulsion cosmetics, paste cosmetics, etc. The packaging forms are different according to different forms.

As far as the current situation is concerned, due to the light quality and low price of plastic, it is easy to form large-scale production. It can be made into bottles of various specifications, sizes, transparencies, opacities and colors, and has good printing performance. Instructions, logos and barcodes can be directly printed on the surface of containers by means of thermal transfer, ink-jet, printing and other methods. Therefore, plastic products have occupied more than 80% of the cosmetic packaging market and become the most important packaging container for cosmetics. In the past, cosmetics were generally packaged in glass bottles. However, due to the single variety of glass containers, even if there is a good design concept, due to the limitations of technology and materials, it is often impossible to achieve.

However, plastic materials have great advantages in this respect. They are not only rich in sources, but also have good molding performance. They can be made into plastic containers such as bottles, cans and boxes of various structures and shapes, and can be used for various decoration and decoration designs.

In addition, in recent years, the application of PET resin in cosmetic containers has developed rapidly, which has led to a major change in replacing glass bottles with plastics.

However, we should also see that although glass bottles account for no more than 8% of cosmetic packaging containers, they still have irreplaceable advantages in this packaging field, and are still the preferred material for high-end cosmetics in the short term.

Thoroughly pure, noble and elegant, is the charm of glass bottles. Compared with the plastic bottle, its heavy sense makes people feel more trustworthy; And the unique visual effect of frosted glass bottles is far beyond that of plastic bottles.
