The competition in the personal care market is becoming increasingly fierce, and brand packaging plays a pivotal role in it. As two different types of products, glass bottles and perfume bottles have obvious differences in design and function. Next, we will discuss in detail the uniqueness of bottles and perfume bottles, and on this basis, shape your own brand image through customized packaging. 1.Material and texture: Skin care glass bottles are usually made of thick and stable soda-lime glass to protect the precious skin care ingredients. They need to meet the pH value of 3-9 for skin care filling environments (such as acid essences and alkaline contents). Most of the bottle mouths have spiral lids. In contrast, perfume bottles pay more attention to appearance and touch. They are usually made of exquisite crystal glass and even add artistic patterns or treatments to show a unique perfume atmosphere and enhance the visual texture of the liquid. They need to prevent alkali metal...
I. Prolonged exposure to sunlight One of the main reasons colored bottles fade is prolonged exposure to sunlight. UV rays break down the color pigments or coatings used on the surface of the bottle, causing them to dull or discolor. This is especially true for spray-painted or frosted bottles with lighter shades.Colored bottles stored in high heat or direct light are more likely to experience color changes. Stacking or rubbing during shipping can also cause scratches and color loss. II. Use of poor-quality paints by suppliers Many manufacturers use low-grade coatings or processes to reduce production costs, but this method will cause the products to fade. Poor-quality materials cannot withstand high temperatures, humidity or friction during transportation. III. Deficiencies in materials and processes 1.Uneven pigment dispersion: Insufficient mixing of the masterbatch leads to color differences.When the melting point difference between the masterbatch and the su...
In the $180B global cosmetics market, customizable tubes dominate 67% of skincare packaging.Cosmetic tubes are widely used in cleansers, eye creams, primers, sunscreens and other products due to their lightness, good sealing and portability. This article will give you a comprehensive understanding of tube packaging from three aspects: the manufacturing process of tubes, surface treatment technology and common types of matching caps. Manufacturing Process of Skin Care Tubes Skin care tubes are usually made of PE (polyethylene) plastic, aluminum foil, plastic film and other materials.They are made into sheets by co-extrusion and compounding, and then pressed into tubular containers by a special tube making machine. The production process of tubes mainly includes: extrusion molding → cutting → printing → sealing → capping. Each step needs to be precisely controlled to ensure aesthetics and sealing. According to product type and usage requirements, they can be divided i...
In the beauty and personal care industry, aluminum hoses have gradually become a friendly choice for many brands due to their excellent functionality, environmental friendliness and high-quality texture. Here we will help brands and buyers understand the cost-effective packaging solutions of aluminum tubes from three aspects: functional advantages, manufacturing processes and product structure design. 1. The main functions and advantages of aluminum tubes Strong barrier properties:Aluminum naturally has good light-blocking and oxygen-blocking properties. The molecular structure of aluminum can block 99% of ultraviolet rays, oxygen and water vapor, effectively protecting active ingredients (such as VC, retinol) from oxidation and deterioration, extending the shelf life. It is particularly suitable for creams, gels, essences and other products that are easily affected by air. Good extrudability:The hose has excellent elasticity and controllable resilience, which can accurately control th...
In the cosmetics and skincare industry, the choice of packaging containers directly affects the product's cost, market positioning, brand image, user experience and even environmental image. Especially when launching new product packaging materials, "glass containers or plastic containers?" often becomes the core issue of concern to brands and packaging suppliers. This article will compare the advantages and disadvantages of glass containers and plastic containers in depth from the dimensions of functionality, appearance texture, environmental protection, cost control, and transportation safety, which will help you make a more suitable choice. 1.Advantages and disadvantages of glass containers advantage: High-end texture: The glass bottle has a transparent appearance and high-end texture, suitable for positioning high-end skin care brands. It has a strong sense of classic luxury, conveying a pure, natural, professional and trustworthy image. It has high transparency and is stabl...
In the skin care industry, glass bottle packaging is widely used in high-value-added products such as essences, creams, lotions, and facial oils due to its high-end texture, excellent chemical stability (strong barrier properties and good sealing properties) and environmentally friendly properties. These characteristics make it an ideal choice for enhancing product image and ensuring quality. However, brands or buyers often face a series of specific problems in the process of transporting glass packaging materials, which may affect the final product experience and brand image. Problem manifestations: 1. During the process of receiving, transporting (especially international transport) or filling, the bottle body is broken, shattered, cracked, corners are broken, and the edge of the bottle mouth is broken. 2. It leads to high loss rate, affecting cost and product availability. Main reasons: 1. Insufficient bottle material and strength: The glass is too brittle, and high borosilicate gla...
Contents change color or evaporate? Is the barrier property of the glass bottle not good enough? Many customers have reported problems such as discoloration, abnormal odor, and decreased concentration of skin care products during product sales or use. This is especially true for skin care formulas containing essential oils, active ingredients, or natural plant extracts. In other words, during product sales or daily use, consumers often report that skin care products have changed color; some products emit abnormal odors, which not only affects the user experience, but may also have an adverse effect on skin health; and some customers have found that the concentration has decreased after use, which undoubtedly reduces the effectiveness of the product. Cause analysis These problems are often closely related to the poor light-blocking ability and airtightness of glass bottles. Although transparent glass has a good visual effect, it is easy for external factors such as ultraviolet ra...
1.Thickness measurement The precise thickness of each layer of a tube is fundamental to its performance. This test uses a micrometer or specialized thickness gauge to measure the actual thickness of each layer (from the inner barrier film to the outer printed layer), typically at five to ten points throughout the tube. The goal is to ensure compliance with design specifications. 2.Sealing performance test Heat Seal Strength (Tube End): Cosmetic Plastic Cream Tube ends are sealed using heat during the manufacturing process. This test measures the force required to tear the seal. It ensures that the seal will not crack during extrusion, transportation, and storage. Standards generally require a minimum strength to ensure reliability. Torque Test (Tube End to Cap): This test evaluates the tightness of the connection between the tube end and the cap. A torque meter measures the force required to unscrew or tighten the cap, ensuring it is neither too loose nor too tight....
Cleaning cosmetic glass dropper bottles properly is key to keeping your serums, essential oils, and liquids free from contamination. Follow this quick 4-step process to ensure they’re spotless and safe for reuse. First, disassemble the glass dropper bottle—separate the rubber bulb, glass pipette, and bottle itself. Fill a bowl with warm (not hot) water and let all parts soak for 10–15 minutes. This loosens residue, oils, or dried liquids clinging to the surfaces, making them easier to clean. Next, disinfect with rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl works best). Either submerge all components in alcohol for 5 minutes, or pour alcohol into the bottle and squeeze the bulb repeatedly to flush the tube thoroughly. Alcohol effectively kills bacteria and breaks down tough, stubborn grime that plain water would likely leave behind. After alcohol treatment, rinse all components with warm water to remove any alcohol residue. Then, air-dry them completely on a clean towel—l...
