Plastic alternative glass: the future development trend of cosmetic packaging

Plastic bottles are used in cosmetics packaging mainly polyethylene bottles (blow molding), PVC (bottle, injection stretch blow molding), polyester bottles (stretch blow molding), polystyrene bottles (injection blow molding), polypropylene bottles (extrusion blow molding) etc. With the new technology and new products continuing to push the old new, plastic containers made the former only the glass transparent characteristics, making plastic products in the cosmetics packaging market unique.

1, transparent polypropylene (CPP) plastic bottles. The development of transparent polypropylene (CPP) packaging bottles has been a hot spot in recent years. Compared with other transparent plastic resins, CPP has good gloss and transparency, strong appreciation, and is popular.

2, transparent poly PET plastic bottles. Transparent poly PET plastic bottles are now used as packaging containers for cosmetic and cosmetic manufacturers. Such as Nice, Blue Moon, Kaimi, Watsons, and other enterprises and brands of shower gel, skin care products, and washing products have pioneered the use of packaging materials PET. After PET stretch blow molding process for the production of high strength, highly transparent plastic bottles, the commonly used volume can range from tens to several liters of ml bottles; transparency and gloss, good plasticity, impact resistance and dimensional stability, good chemical properties, good gas barrier; soft touch, etc.

3, PETG plastic bottles. PETG plastic bottle has a good application prospect in cosmetics and personal care packaging. Its outstanding advantages are: surface gloss, feel comfortable, with gorgeous colors and transparent tone, chemical resistance, impact resistance, and toughness, after anti-UV treatment, transparency remains unchanged. It is easy to process, recyclable, and has environmental protection performance, more in line with the requirements of the modern production business. At present, consumers are more and more demanding of the appearance of goods, which makes the design of cosmetic packaging more and more important. To achieve beautiful, good texture and durability, the designer put forward a very high demand, and the good processing performance of PETG makes the design idea possible.

4, nano plastic bottles. Adding a certain proportion of nanomaterials in the production of plastic containers in chemical raw materials can improve the performance of plastic containers, especially erosion resistance, chemical resistance, and anti-ultraviolet properties have been greatly improved, the toughness of the container has also been strengthened, at the same time can reduce cost-competitive products. Polyamide 6 nano plastic. It is a high-grade packaging film, polyester PET and PBT nano plastics, flame retardant properties, and barrier properties than pure, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) to replace expensive resin, meet the requirement of food packaging, can be directly used for packing bottle-blowing beer, cosmetics.

5, antibacterial plastic bottles. The development of antibacterial plastic bottles for packaging can inhibit the production of bacteria on the surface of container vessels. The inorganic metal (Ag) antibacterial agent is uniformly dispersed in the blowing bottle, and the antibacterial plastic container produced by the improved blow molding process has the advantages of long antibacterial time, good antibacterial effect, and good antibacterial spectrum. The product has been tested, with an antibacterial rate of more than 99%, and the product is very popular in the market.

6, glass polymer plastic bottles. Glass polymer material has a crystal clear texture, and almost any coloring process, is also less than glass products and the price is not high, greatly saves the cost, which is of high strength and not easily broken, and is a kind of safe packing material. The material can be used to produce a product with a wall thickness which can be changed, such as a glass product, and the transparent and transparent properties can be maintained. The glass polymer is the only bottle packaging material that is truly transparent and can vary in wall thickness and chemical resistance.

7, a wide range of plastic bottles. In the current situation, because the plastic light weight, easy to form scale production, can be made into various sizes. The transparent, opaque, and various colors of the bottle and the printing performance is very good, can be used in heat transfer printing, ink-jet printing, and other methods to illustrate the book, logo, and bar code printed directly on the surface of the container, to better meet the needs of the people.

8, the diversity of plastic bottles to meet the different levels of consumption. To meet the needs of different consumers, the size of the packaging container is diversified. To facilitate the choice of consumers. The use of small amounts of high-end cosmetics packaging to meet the needs of low-income people.

9, the diversity of plastic used to meet the needs of different packaging products. The majority of ordinary cosmetics packaging containers are from high-density polyethylene HDPE to meet the needs of different product packaging, plastic bottles are also an increasingly rich material selection.

10, the application of the film labeling technology to improve the packaging grade. This technology has been used abroad for quite a long time. Its appearance has brought great reform to label packaging. Compared with the traditional packaging label, it has a unique advantage: plays a security role; improves product quality, label color, and smoothness; the production process is simplified, greatly improving the production efficiency; membrane labeling products with strong practicability, low loss, no damage, and Alice, waterproof, anti-oil, acid and alkali resistance, wear resistance, etc.

11, the development and utilization of new materials to meet the growing demand for cosmetics packaging.
