London business information consulting services company Visiongain published a 231 page "2016-2026 cosmetic packaging market materials and uses of the development prospects" report, the report said the size of the international cosmetics packaging market is expected to reach $32.4 billion this year. As the two main forms of cosmetic bottle packaging, what is the future development of plastic and glass packaging?
Nuosheng cosmetics processing introduction, in general, the texture of cosmetics is divided into solid granular (powder), liquid and emulsion cosmetics, paste makeup, this form makes the bottle packaging in the cosmetic packaging application is more extensive. At the same time, cosmetics themselves do not have a distinctive appearance, it must be through exquisite and unique packaging design, to be able to show its own characteristics.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the advantages of plastic bottle packaging are significant. It is light and cheap, can be made into a variety of sizes, transparent, opaque look. At the same time, the printing performance of plastic bottle packaging is very good, and the instructions, identification and bar code can be printed directly on the surface of the container by thermal transfer, inkjet, printing and other methods. In recent years, PET resin has developed rapidly in the application of cosmetic containers, which has led to a major change in the replacement of glass bottles with plastic. Plastic products have occupied more than 80% of the cosmetics packaging market, becoming the most important packaging containers for cosmetics.
Compared with the proportion of plastic, the proportion of glass bottles in cosmetic packaging is relatively small, not more than 8%. Nuosheng Cosmetics Processing said that glass still has irreplaceable advantages in this field, and it is still the preferred material for high-end cosmetics in the short term. The reasons for this situation are as follows.
First, the texture of glass bottle packaging is better than plastic bottles. Noble and elegant is the charm of glass bottles, it can be made frosted can also be transparent, at the same time, the weight of glass bottles can double the trust of consumers, improve the grade of cosmetics, which is plastic packaging can not do. At present, most of the perfume packaging or the use of glass bottles. For example, Italy's BVLGARI women's perfume, its packaging design adheres to the tradition of refinement and excellence, with streamlined frosted glass bottles highlighting its simple lines, the bottle body is soft emerald green, conveying a fresh, elegant and friendly characteristics.
Second, the sealing of the glass bottle packaging is better. For some cosmetics with whitening and nutritional effects, they contain a lot of nutrients like food, but they are easily oxidized, which requires their packaging to have excellent sealing to block the influence of oxygen on these cosmetics. In addition, volatile perfumes also have high requirements for high barrier properties of the packaging. Glass bottles have strong barrier properties and are undoubtedly more competent than plastic bottles in protecting the contents. Therefore, some cosmetics that take the high-end route still use glass bottle packaging as the first choice.
At present, plastic bottle packaging accounts for a large share of cosmetic packaging and is widely used, but glass bottle packaging also has its irreplaceable advantages. Glass texture cosmetics packaging in the future should still take the high-end route, but also to increase its scientific and technological content, Nuosheng cosmetics processing said.
