Cosmetic packaging materials common packaging materials and their characteristics

Cosmetic packaging plays an essential role in the overall appeal and success of a product. With fierce competition in the beauty industry, packaging design and materials have become as important as the product itself. There are various packaging materials used in cosmetics, and each has its own unique characteristics and benefits. Understanding these materials is crucial in the selection process for the ideal packaging to ensure the product's safety, shelf life, and overall aesthetic appeal.

1、PP/PE: In terms of cosmetic packaging, PP and PE are common environmentally friendly materials. They are in direct contact with these products and are primarily used as packaging materials. The natural color of these two materials is white and translucent, and they can achieve three different degrees of softness and hardness depending on their molecular structure.

2,、PET: Another common material is PET, the Chinese name is polyethylene terephthalate. PET material is soft but transparent, up to 95%. It is the No.1 material in the International Material Label number. PET has the characteristics of high air tightness, good compressive strength and high water resistance. Despite its high transparency, PET is not heat-resistant, so it is often used in packaging materials such as food, beverage bottles, and cosmetic bottles.

3、ABS:ABS material has a variety of excellent properties, including high strength and toughness, strong wear resistance, as well as good chemical resistance, low temperature resistance and heat resistance. It is not easy to wear and scratch, can maintain toughness and strength in low temperature environment, high thermal deformation temperature, suitable for use in high temperature environment.

4、AS: Another common material is AS, which has extremely high transparency and brightness, even brighter than ordinary glass. Therefore, products made with AS materials allow people to easily see the internal structure through the outside, thus improving the viewing quality. AS material has excellent heat resistance and is not easy to deform, bear or crack. In addition, it also has good UV linearity, high impact resistance and excellent chemical resistance.

Each of these materials has unique characteristics and advantages, different cosmetic packaging materials for different purposes, you can choose different materials to play a better role.
