Detailed explanation of cosmetic packaging materials

lastic bottle 

1. The material of plastic bottle is usually PP, PE, K material, AS, ABS, acrylic, PET, etc. 

2. It is usually used for injection molding of cream bottles, bottle caps, bottle stoppers, gaskets, pump heads, and dust-proof devices with thicker walls of cosmetic containers; PET blowing is two-step molding, tube embryos are injection molding, and finished product packaging For bottle blowing. Others such as lotion bottles and washing bottles with thinner container walls are blown bottles. 

3. PET material is an environmentally friendly material with high barrier properties, light weight, unbreakable properties, chemical resistance, and strong transparency. It can be made into pearlescent, colored, magnetic white, and transparent. It is widely used in the packaging of addictive water. . The mouth of the bottle is generally the standard 16#, 18#, 22#, 24# caliber, which can be used with a pump head.

 4. The acrylic material is injection molded bottle, which has poor chemical resistance. Generally, it cannot be directly filled with water. It needs to be equipped with an inner liner to prevent the filling from being too full, so as to prevent the paste from entering between the inner liner and the acrylic bottle. In order to avoid cracks, the packaging requirements during transportation are relatively high, because it looks particularly obvious after being scratched, has high permeability, and the sensory upper wall is extremely thick, but the price is quite expensive. 

5. AS, ABS: AS has better transparency and toughness than ABS.

6. Mold development cost: bottle blowing mold is 1,500-4,000 yuan, injection mold is 8,000-20,000 yuan, the stainless steel material for the mold is more expensive than the alloy material, but it is durable, and several molds are produced at a time. The demand for production volume, if the production volume is large, you can choose a four-out mold or a six-out mold, and the customer can decide by himself. 

7. The order quantity is generally 3,000-10,000 pieces, and the color can be customized. Usually, the primary color is matte and magnetic white, or the effect of pearl powder is added. Although the bottle and the cap are matched with the same color masterbatch, sometimes the bottle and the cap are The materials used are different, and the colors shown are somewhat different. 

8. There are ordinary ink and UV ink for silk screen printing. UV ink has better effect, glossy and three-dimensional effect. During production, you should make a plate to confirm the color. The effect of silk screen printing on different materials will be different. Cosmetic packaging box (inspection packaging junye2000, com)

 9. Gold stamping, silver stamping and other processing techniques are different from printing gold powder, silver powder effect, hard material and smooth surface are more suitable for bronzing, hot silver, soft surface hot stamping The effect is not good, it is easy to fall off, and the gloss of bronzing silver is better than that of printing gold and silver. 

10. For silk screen printing film, a negative film should be produced, the graphic effect should be black, and the background color should be transparent. For bronzing and silver stamping processes, a positive film should be produced, and the graphic effect should be transparent, and the background color should be black. The ratio of text and patterns should not be too small or too thin, otherwise the effect will not be printed.

 11. Bottle caps are generally equipped with inner gaskets, pull caps, and inner plugs, and very few are equipped with small spoons or droppers. This is mainly due to its airtightness and ease of use.

12. The production cycle is relatively moderate, about 15 days. The silk screen printing cylindrical bottle is calculated as a single color, and the flat bottle or special-shaped bottle is calculated as a two-color or multi-color. Usually, the first screen printing screen fee or fixture fee is charged. Silk screen printing The unit price is generally 0.08 yuan/color time to 0.1 yuan/color time, the screen version is 100-200 yuan/style, and the fixture is about 50 yuan/piece.

2. Glass bottle

1. Glass bottles used in cosmetics are mainly divided into: skin care products (cream, lotion), perfume, essential oil, and nail polish. The capacity is small, and the capacity greater than 200ml is rarely used in cosmetics.

2. Glass bottles are divided into wide-mouth bottles and narrow-mouth bottles. Solid pastes are generally used in wide-mouth bottles. They should be equipped with anodized aluminum caps or plastic caps. The caps can be used for color spraying effects; emulsion or water Narrow-mouth bottles are generally used for ointments, and pump heads should be used. Care should be taken to prevent the spring and balls from rusting. Most pump heads are equipped with glass beads. Usually, they need to be used for material testing and applicable tests. The water agent is equipped with a small hole and the inner plug, and the thicker emulsion is equipped with a large hole inner plug.

3. The selection of glass bottles is relatively consistent, with many shapes, rich processing technology, and diversified matching with bottle caps. The common bottle shapes are cylindrical, oval, flat, prismatic, conical, etc. Manufacturers often develop a series of bottle shapes. The bottle body process includes spraying, transparent, frosted, translucent toning, silk screen printing, hot stamping, hot silver and so on.

4. Silk screen printing: There are usually two types of silk screen printing for glass bottles. One is high-temperature ink screen printing, which is characterized by not easy to decolorize, dull color, and purple toning is difficult to produce effects. The other is low-temperature ink screen printing, which is brighter in color. The ink has higher requirements, otherwise it is easy to fall off, and attention should be paid to the disinfection of the bottle.

5. The effect of spraying generally needs to add 0.5 yuan to 1.1 yuan per piece, depending on the area and the difficulty of color matching. Silk screen printing is 0.1 yuan per color. Cylindrical bottles can be calculated as single colors, and special-shaped bottles can be calculated as double-color or multi-color. , hot stamping and hot silver 0.4 yuan / style.

6. If the glass bottle is made by manual molding, there will be a little deviation in capacity. When selecting it, it should be tested and marked with the correct capacity. For example, the automatic production line is relatively uniform, but the shipment volume is relatively large and the cycle is relatively long. The capacity is relatively stable.

7. The uneven thickness of the glass bottle will easily lead to damage, or it will be easily crushed by the contents under severe cold conditions. A reasonable capacity should be tested during filling, and paper should be used to separate them individually during transportation. Equipped with a color box, the inner support and the middle box can get better anti-vibration effect.

8. The commonly used bottle shapes of glass bottles are usually in stock, such as essential oil bottles, ordinary transparent or frosted bottles. The production cycle of glass bottles is long, and it takes 20 days if it is as fast as possible, and 45 days for some, and the general order quantity is 5,000 to 10,000. Affected by peak season and off-season.

9. Mold opening cost: manual mold is about 2,500 yuan, automatic mold is generally about 4,000 yuan, and 1 out of 4 or 1 out of 8 will cost about 16,000 to 32,000 yuan, depending on the manufacturer's conditions.

10. The bottle cap process can be used for anodized aluminum lettering, bronzing, and etching lines. There are matte and bright colors. It should be equipped with gaskets and inner caps. It is best to use pressure-sensitive sheets to enhance the sealing effect.

11. Essential oil bottles are usually made of brown or colored or colored matte, which can be protected from light. The lid has a safety ring and can be equipped with an inner plug or dropper. Perfume bottles are generally equipped with delicate spray pump heads or plastic caps.

3. Hose

1. The hose is divided into single-layer, double-layer, and five-layer hoses, which are different in terms of pressure resistance, penetration resistance and hand feeling. For example, the five-layer hose consists of an outer layer, an inner layer, and two adhesive layers. barrier layer. Features: It has excellent gas barrier performance, which can effectively prevent the infiltration of oxygen and odorous gases, and at the same time prevent the leakage of the fragrance and active ingredients of the contents.

2. Double-layer pipes are more commonly used, and single-layer pipes can also be used for middle and low grades. The diameter of the hose is 13#-60#. When a hose of a certain diameter is selected, different lengths are used to indicate different capacity characteristics. , the capacity can be adjusted from 3ml to 360ml. For the sake of beauty and coordination, the caliber below 60ml is usually used below 35#, the caliber of 35#-45# is usually used for 100ml and 150ml, and the caliber above 45# is required for the capacity above 150ml.

3. In terms of technology, it is divided into round tube, oval tube, flat tube and super flat tube. Flat tubes and ultra-flat tubes are more complicated than other tubes, and they are also new tubes released in recent years, so the price is correspondingly more expensive.

4. There are various shapes of hose caps, generally divided into flat caps, round caps, high caps, flip caps, ultra-flat caps, double-layer caps, spherical caps, lipstick caps, plastic caps can also be processed in various processes, bronzing Edge, silver edge, colored cap, transparent, oil spray, electroplating, etc., the tip cap and lipstick cap are usually equipped with inner plugs. The hose cover is an injection molded product, and the hose is a pull tube. Most hose manufacturers do not produce hose covers themselves.

5. Some products need to be filled before sealing. The sealing can be divided into: straight sealing, twill sealing, umbrella sealing, star point sealing, and special-shaped sealing. Print out the desired date code at the end.

6. The hose can be made of colored tube, transparent tube, colored or transparent frosted tube, pearl tube, and there are matte and glossy tubes. Matte looks elegant but easy to get dirty. Judging from the incision at the tail, the white incision is a large-area printing tube, and the ink used is high, otherwise it is easy to fall off and will crack and reveal white marks after being folded.

7. The production cycle of the hose is generally 15-20 days (from the confirmation of the sample tube). If the manufacturer has many varieties, the minimum order quantity for a single product is 3,000. Few customers make their own molds. Most of them are public molds (a few special lids are private molds). There is a ±10% deviation in this industry.

8. There are big differences in price between the quality of the hose and the manufacturer. The plate-making fee is usually 200-300 yuan per color. The tube body can be printed in multiple colors and silk screen. Some manufacturers have thermal transfer equipment and technology. Hot stamping and silver hot stamping are calculated based on the unit price of the area. The effect of silk screen printing is better, but the cost is more expensive and there are fewer manufacturers. Different manufacturers should be selected according to the needs of different levels.

4. Distributor/pump head

1. Dispensers are divided into tie type and screw type. In terms of function, they are divided into spray, foundation cream, lotion pump, aerosol valve, vacuum bottle

2. The size of the pump head is determined by the caliber of the matching bottle body. The spray size is 12.5mm-24mm, and the water output is 0.1ml/time-0.2ml/time. It is generally used in the packaging of perfume, gel water and other products. The caliber The length of the same connecting pipe can be determined according to the height of the bottle body.

3. The specification range of the lotion pump is 16ml to 38ml, and the water output is 0.28ml/time to 3.1ml/time. It is generally used for cream and washing products.

4. Special distributors such as foam pump head and hand button nozzle. The foam pump head is a non-inflated hand-pressed pump head, which does not need to be filled with air to generate foam, and only needs to be lightly pressed to produce quantitative high-quality foam. . Usually with a dedicated bottle. Hand button nozzles are usually used on products such as detergents.

5. The composition of the dispenser is relatively complicated, generally including: dust cover, press head, press rod, gasket, piston, spring, valve, bottle cap, pump body, straw, valve ball (with steel ball, glass ball). Bottle caps and dust caps can be colored, electroplated, and covered with anodized aluminum rings. Since a set of pump heads involves many molds and the order quantity is large, the minimum order quantity is 10,000-20,000, and the delivery period is 15-20 days after the sample is confirmed. White and general-purpose types are often in stock.

6. Vacuum bottles are usually cylindrical, with a specification of 15ml-50ml, and some have 100ml. The overall capacity is small, relying on the principle of atmospheric pressure, which can avoid pollution caused by cosmetics during use. Plastic, the price is more expensive than other common containers, and the general order quantity requirement is not high.

7. Distributor customers seldom open molds by themselves, and the cost is higher because they require more molds.

5. Color printing

1. Color printing mainly includes color combination, color printing set box, brochure, leaflet, poster, album and color printing stickers, etc. Junye Packaging Box Factory specializes in the production of customized cosmetic packaging boxes of various brands.

2. The requirements and material selection are complicated. The product packaging box is also called folding carton or soft box. Generally, 350g single copper paper is used. Cardboard with appropriate thickness can be selected according to the volume and internal weight, and different grades of paper can be selected. It can be matched with corrugated The cardboard is used as the inner lining to play the role of fixing and anti-vibration, or because the container is small, the size of the product packaging box can be increased to increase the appearance. The design principle of the box bottom is to ensure the strength and strive for simplicity, which greatly saves manual assembly time.3. Cosmetic box, color printing first and then mounting can be made in different specifications. The paper layer of color printing and mounting is single copper or aluminum-plated paper. Gray board paper or MDF of different specifications can be used. More manual work and lower cost High, usually with a handle bag, blister/sponge/paper holder, silk cloth used together. The cosmetic boxes produced by Junye Packaging Box Factory are both practical and cost-effective.

4. The instruction manual can choose plain paper 60g-80g or 105g and 128g, 157g coated paper, leaflets and posters or albums generally use 105g or more coated paper.

5. For printing stickers, you can choose coated paper, stickers of various materials, silver aluminum paper or transparent PVC and other materials.

6. In order to ensure the design effect and have real samples to compare with the color printing document, computer proofing can be carried out before outputting the film, and the fee will be charged according to the color and size, usually 75 yuan/P

7. The process and appearance effects of color-printed soft boxes include surface polishing or clear glue, matte glue, laser film, bronzing silver and embossing effects, beer, glued box forming or glued PVC film (also known as opening window) and thermal, color onion technology, uv effect, etc.

8. Heat-sensitive embossing technology, there is obvious three-dimensional effect without embossing after printing, heat-sensitive embossing powder has fluorescent, matte and various color effects, color onion technology (used more in greeting cards)

9. The laser has two colors of silver card and gold card, and can be made into rainbow and partial hologram-coated cards, which have a very high anti-counterfeiting effect.

10. The frosting process is suitable for aluminized film and aluminum foil paper. The process features a strong metallic feeling, harmonious and noble colors, comfortable hand feeling, and can also perform metal etching effects

11. Color printing charging standards and features:

A) Design, power point output, proofing, and calculation according to P;

B) Color printing start-up fee (800-1200 yuan) minimum consumption, reasonable typesetting and increased printing volume can reduce the unit price.

C) The impact of related costs is determined by the number and difficulty of the subsequent processes, such as gluing, nailing, folding, crimping and gluing, there are corresponding charging standards and minimum consumption.

12. The production cycle generally takes 13-25 days for color printing. The cosmetic set box depends on the difficulty of the process, and the working days are appropriately increased. If the set box needs to be mounted, too much glue is used, and the delivery time will also be affected by the weather.

13. Matters needing attention:

A) In order to avoid large deviations between the finished product and the design color sample, the sample should be confirmed during printing on the machine and used as a quality inspection standard;

B) The folding method of the manual should be clear and unified, and the transportation packaging of color printing should be explained. If it is a set box, it can be considered for secondary use;

C) The handle bag can be designed to open on one side and on both sides, which can save costs in printing and filming;

D The printing quantity refers to the weight of the paper used rather than the quantity of finished products after printing. If the size of the manual is small, a large quantity is required to count as the economic order quantity;

E) The design must comply with the requirements of color printing specifications, for example, the bronzing film should produce a negative film, while other films should produce a positive film, and the composition method must be adapted to the printing characteristics.

14. If the production volume is small and cannot meet the minimum printing or economical order quantity, the box can be directly mounted with colored paper effect in order to reduce the cost.
