The main material of lipstick packaging bottle

  As a fashion consumer product, lipstick needs high-quality packaging materials to increase its value. At present, almost all kinds of materials are used in lipstick packaging, among which glass, plastic, and metal are the three main materials currently used, and cartons are often used as outer packaging. Continuously developing new materials and new processing technologies, and pursuing new shapes have always been the focus of the industry's development of lipstick packaging containers.

1. Glass

Glass has a great advantage in the field of high-end lipstick packaging. Its transparency and smoothness are incomparable to plastic bottles. The charm of glass bottles lies in its thoroughness, purity and elegance. For high-end lipsticks or lipsticks that are volatile and easy to lose fragrance, such as perfume, glass bottles are generally used. Whitening and nourishing series of lipsticks, but they are easily oxidized. This puts forward high requirements on the sealing of the packaging. Glass bottles have strong barrier properties and are undoubtedly more competent than plastic bottles in protecting the contents.

However, the variety of glass containers is single, and even if there is a good design concept, due to technical and material limitations, it is often impossible to realize. Due to the inherent disadvantages of glass (large specific weight, fragile, etc.), ordinary lipsticks are often packaged in plastic containers or composite containers.

Now most of the middle and low-end lipstick packaging has been replaced by plastic bottles, plastic bags or plastic tubes, and the application ratio of glass bottles is less than 8%. Glass has irreplaceable advantages and is still the first choice for high-end lipsticks in the short term.

In recent years, with the improvement of glass processing technology, the quality of glass bottles produced by computer CAD glass bottle mold design, reinforced lightweight and other technologies is improving, the weight is reducing, and the transparency and surface finish are also further enhanced. In terms of post-processing, frosting process, color painting, color printing (up to 7-8 colors), engraving, etc. can be carried out on the glass surface, which greatly improves added value of the glass bottle.

2. Plastic

Plastic is light and cheap, easy to form mass production, and can be made into bottles of various specifications, transparent, opaque and various colors. The printing performance is very good, and the instructions, logos, and barcodes can be directly printed on the surface of the container by thermal transfer, inkjet, printing, etc.; the forming performance is good, and it can be manufactured into plastic bottles, cans, boxes, etc. of various structures and shapes container. Lipstick capsules come in a variety of shapes, including spherical, olive, heart, and crescent. They come in a variety of colors, including crystal clear ones and colorful pearlescent ones. The appearance is very lovable. These packages bring consumers a safer and more convenient way of consumption.

The disadvantage of plastic containers is that the transparency is not as good as that of glass, but the current polyhexene stretch blow molding technology overcomes the disadvantage of low transparency of polyolefin blow molding bottles, and its crystal clear characteristics are close to that of glass bottles. At the COSMOPROF2003 exhibition held in Italy in March 2003, HEINZ PLASTIS launched HEAVY PET plastic bottles that imitated the texture and appearance of glass bottles. This kind of plastic bottles adopts PET injection molding processing technology, and it is the first bottle in the industry whose wall thickness reaches MM level. plastic bottle. The bottle body has crystal-like transparency and brightness, looks very much like a glass bottle, and is more and more resistant to wear and tear.

Over the past few years, the packaging industry has been working hard to develop a product that can effectively protect the quality of skin products, but also meet the needs of luxurious novelty and appearance. The emergence of multilayer composite technology can meet the above two requirements at the same time. It enables multiple layers of different types of plastics to be combined and molded at one time. With multi-layer composite technology, our plastic packaging can completely isolate light and air, substances that oxidize skin care products, on the one hand, and on the other hand, obtain wonderful visual effects and unique feel in appearance. The most popular packaging for skin care milk products is tubes and glass bottles. Fifteen years ago, hoses were only packaging for middle and low-end products, and now even the most famous brands have begun to use them. The tubes are economical and convenient to produce, easy to carry around and suitable for containing lotions and colloids.

Due to the excellent properties above, plastic materials and composite materials are widely used in lipstick packaging. Plastic products have occupied more than 80% of the lipstick packaging market and become the most important packaging container for lipstick.

3. Aluminum

With the improvement of people's living standards, the consumption of lipsticks and health care products has increased year by year, and has increased significantly in recent years. Aluminum packaging materials for lipsticks are light in weight, bright in color, elegant and luxurious, durable and easy to process and paint. It is favored by the lipstick packaging industry. At present, vacuum-coated aluminum paper has metallic luster and is easy to print. It has many advantages such as aesthetics, fashion, high-end and environmental protection. It greatly meets the requirements of lipstick packaging and has become the focus of attention as packaging materials for high-end lipstick boxes.

The main consumer groups of lipsticks are women, and the pursuit of beauty is a natural trait of women. Whether the lipstick packaging is exquisite or not greatly affects the status of lipsticks in women's minds and their preference for specific brands.

Vacuum aluminum-coated paper is printed with transparent and colorful inks, which can reveal high-gloss metallic luster, and at the same time give people a psychological hint: after using this lipstick, it can also be radiant. Vacuum aluminum-coated paper is also easy to carry out laser holographic treatment, which has a good anti-counterfeiting effect. According to the needs of different lipsticks, flashing laser LOGO or specific beautiful patterns can be printed on the outer packaging, which is beautiful, fresh and easy to identify, and also discourages fake and inferior products. Vacuum aluminized packaging material is a new type of composite environmentally friendly packaging material, which gradually replaces aluminum foil composite paper as the aluminum paper base material. The word itself is recyclable and degradable in the soil, which is green and environmentally friendly, and saves metal resources. It is a green packaging material that is conducive to environmental protection.
