Cosmetic packaging has emerged today as a major business venture in Japan. The word cosmetic packaging is generally used for the secondary packing and cosmetic presentation of cosmetics and fragrances. Cosmetic products are substances meant for beautifying, cleansing, and resealing an improved appearance in an unaltered structure or functions of the body without changing the basic structure or functional functions of the body. The most common type of plastic used in cosmetic packaging is PP. Other plastics include PET and acrylic ingredients. HDPE plastic is ideal for skincare product packaging due to its durability, strength, and high resistance to most acids
Some of the most popular cosmetic packagings include:
Tubes: A tube-shaped cosmetic product is a cylindrical container made of plastic and has a diameter of about three inches. The tubes are available in various sizes depending on the cosmetic product. The tubes are the most common packaging for all types of skincare products including lotions, face creams, body lotions, shampoos, soaps, and bath products such as bubble baths and aromatherapy.
Jars: Plastic jars are small containers usually made of stainless steel or aluminum. They are frequently found in beauty shops. The most common uses of the jars include storing the finished products for long periods, such as in the case of perfumes. The tubes and jars are often used for the storage of finished cosmetic products. The plastic jars are also used in cosmetic packaging to store the cold cream.
Containers: In cosmetic packaging, clear plastic containers with pore-free liners are preferred over other containers, mainly because of their transparency and ability to prevent chemicals from evaporating into the liquids. Some examples of these containers include lipstick containers, hand and body lotion containers, cleansing pads, and lip balm tubes. Clear tubes and syringes are used to store and transport medications and cosmetic products, while stainless containers are preferred for food and medicine storage. Plastic containers with pore-free liners, which are sometimes known as anti-leak plastic, are useful for all kinds of cosmetic packaging. The liners can also be used to protect the plastics from contamination. Other plastic containers with pore-free liners are polythene bags, bubble wrap, and polystyrene.
Labels: A very important part of cosmetic packaging, the labels play an important role in the protection and safety of the products. The basic requirements of cosmetic packaging are color printing, foil stamping, corner printing, reflective foil, embossing, hologram coating, and UV stabilizing. Color printing is meant for providing customers with choices regarding brand names, product specifications, etc. The other requirements include foil stamping, which is a type of decorative border design, corner printing, and hologram coating which add a reflective layer. All three are used to create attractive and customized labels. All kinds of these labels can be custom-made according to individual needs.
