Cosmetic packaging uses a wide range of materials, the most common including: glass bottles, plastic bottles, aluminum bottles, bamboo and wooden bottles, plastic hoses, etc. Plastic and glass are the main materials of cosmetic packaging, and carton is often used as the outer packaging of medium and high-end cosmetics.
Plastic is widely used because of its sturdiness and durability, while glass gives a noble look. The dazzling brilliance of glass is very suitable for the packaging of perfume bottles, while plastic has come out on top in the competition of cosmetic packaging materials with reasonable price and lighter quality. Glass and plastics each play a very important role in packaging industries such as perfume, skin care and cosmetics.
The materials used in plastic containers are mainly PE, PP, PVC, PET, HDPE, PETG, AS, ABS, acrylic, etc. It is a plastic packaging hollow container made by various processing methods. It has the characteristics of light weight and is easy to form large-scale production. It can be made into bottles of various sizes, transparent, opaque and various colors.
The printing performance of plastic containers is very good, and instructions, logos and barcodes can be directly made on the surface of plastic bottles by thermal transfer, inkjet, printing and other methods. Due to the various excellent properties of plastic containers, they have become the most important packaging containers for medicines and cosmetics.
Mainly used for oil products, such as hair oil, hair wax, sunscreen oil, bath oil, massage oil, etc. Emulsion products, such as cleansing cream, cleansing lotion, moisturizing cream, nutritional cream, vanishing cream, cold cream, hair cream, etc., surfactant solution products, such as shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, etc.
As one of the plastic bottles, a vacuum bottle refers to a container that can isolate the gas from the outside temperature or a container that isolates external bacteria. Its contents can be completely isolated from the air, preventing the product from being oxidized and deteriorating due to contact with air, breeding bacteria, and improving the product grade with its high-tech concept.
The vacuum bottle commonly used in the market is composed of a cylinder into an ellipsoid container and a piston placed at the bottom. Its design principle is to use the contraction force of the spring to prevent air from entering the bottle to create a vacuum state, and to use atmospheric pressure to push the piston at the bottom of the bottle forward.
The products of vacuum packaging are different from the common standard pump or spray pump of straw type. Vacuum packaging uses the principle of separating the inner cavity to squeeze the contents out. When the inner diaphragm moves up to the inside of the bottle, a pressure is formed, and the content is in a vacuum state close to 100% at this time, which is divided into lotion bottle and spray bottle.
The material used in glass bottles is mainly glass, and the basic raw materials of glass are quartz sand, caustic soda and limestone. It has the characteristics of high transparency, impermeability and corrosion resistance, non-toxic and tasteless, stable chemical properties and low production cost.
Uses are mainly divided into: skin care products (creams, lotions), perfumes, essential oils, nail polish. Due to the short shelf life of cosmetics, the capacity is often small, and those with a capacity greater than 200ml are rarely used in cosmetics.
In addition, according to the appearance of cosmetic glass bottles, it is divided into wide-mouthed bottles and narrow-mouthed bottles. Solid pastes generally use wide-mouthed bottles, which should be equipped with anodized aluminum caps or plastic caps, bamboo and wood caps, and the caps can be used for color spraying.

Emulsions or liquid pastes generally use narrow-mouth bottles, and should be equipped with a pump head. Pay attention to prevent the springs and balls from rusting. Now most pump heads are equipped with glass beads, which are usually used for material body testing. It needs to be equipped with an inner plug, the liquid agent is equipped with a small hole with the same inner plug, and a thicker emulsion is equipped with a large hole inner plug.

The selection of glass bottles is relatively consistent, with many shapes, rich processing techniques, and diverse combinations with bottle caps. Common bottle shapes include cylindrical, oval, flat, prismatic, conical, etc., and manufacturers often develop a series of bottle shapes. The bottle body process includes spraying, transparent, frosted, translucent color matching, silk screen printing, bronzing, silver bronzing, etc.
Commonly used in packaging materials are moso bamboo, water bamboo, bitter bamboo, kind bamboo, hemp bamboo and so on. Bamboo has hard texture, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, friction resistance, low density, good physical and mechanical properties, easy to plant, fast production speed, high yield, green and environmental protection, mainly used for weaving boards and various packaging containers, Such as bamboo baskets, bamboo boxes, bamboo tubes, bamboo cosmetic bottles, etc.

Wood has a long history as a packaging material. Wood is rich in resources and has the advantages of impact resistance, vibration, easy processing, and economical price. However, wood is easily affected by the environment and temperature and humidity, resulting in deformation, cracking, decay, flammability, and insect damage.
However, these disadvantages can be eliminated or mitigated with proper treatment. Wood is often used in shipping packaging for fragile and crash-damaged goods. Used for lids of various cosmetic bottles.
Hose is a very widely used cosmetic packaging material in cosmetic packaging, among which products such as facial cleanser and facial cleanser are used the most, and other skin care products such as BB cream and gel are also used. Its main material is HDPE.
The hose is divided into single-layer, double-layer and five-layer hose, which are different in terms of pressure resistance, penetration resistance and hand feeling. For example, the five-layer tube consists of an outer layer, an inner layer, two adhesive layers, and another barrier layer.
With excellent gas barrier properties, it can effectively prevent the infiltration of oxygen and peculiar gases, and at the same time prevent the exudation of the contents of fragrance and active ingredients.
Double-layer pipes are more commonly used, and single-layer pipes can also be used for medium and low-grade pipes. The diameter of the hose is 13#-60#. When a hose of a certain diameter is selected, different capacity characteristics are marked with different lengths.
The capacity of 3ml-360ml can be adjusted arbitrarily. For the sake of beauty and coordination, the caliber below 60ml is usually used under 35#, the caliber of 35#-45# is usually used for 100ml and 150ml, and the caliber above 45# is required for the capacity above 150ml.
The process is divided into round tube, oval tube, flat tube, ultra-flat tube. Flat tube and ultra-flat tube are more complicated than other tubes, and they are also new types of tubes in recent years, so the price is correspondingly more expensive.
As a cosmetic packaging, aluminum has the following characteristics: light weight, non-toxic, and easy to recycle; good corrosion resistance and long service life; high security and good sealing; high strength, not easy to break; high safety; low cost. Suitable for lotions, creams and ointments, etc.

The selection of materials is not arbitrary. First of all, the materials should be taken according to the characteristics of the products, such as the form of the products (solid, liquid, etc.), whether they are corrosive and volatile, and whether they need to be stored in the dark.
Secondly, the grade of the products, high-end products or the packaging materials of precision instruments should pay great attention to beauty and excellent performance, the packaging materials of mid-range products should be both beautiful and practical, and the low-end packaging materials should be mainly practical.
Packaging materials should effectively protect commodities, so they should have certain strength, toughness and elasticity to adapt to the influence of external factors such as pressure, shock, and vibration.
Packaging materials should be selected as far as possible from widely sourced, easily obtained, low-cost, recyclable, degradable, and non-polluting materials to avoid pollution.
