Savvy cosmetics manufacturers know that, in addition to raw materials, cosmetic packaging materials are equally important. Packaging materials are not just containers, but also related to product promotion and product quality, so manufacturers must attach great importance to the purchase of packaging materials. Next, the editor of Haihui will popularize the knowledge of cosmetic packaging materials.

The first category: paper products
1. The carton is divided into two categories:
A. Small beer box (after printing on single copper paper, beer, folding, sticking),
B. World box (after printing on single copper paper, beer, folding, divided into upper and lower covers)
2. Hand-made box: After printing on double copper paper or silver cardboard, it is mounted on the cut gray board and combined into a box.
The printing production process includes: spot color printing and four-color printing, with bronzing and silver bronzing, bumping, matte UV,
3. Inner support: E-pit paper inner support: good beer, placed in a small beer box for protection. Generally not printed on the machine.
4. Adhesive: Commonly used transparent paper material / copper paper / PVC material / synthetic material /, printable and hot stamping / silver. There are also laser stickers (each product bottle is sealed to prevent disassembly)
5. Carton + knife card: used as an outer box to protect and facilitate delivery.

The second category: plastic
1. PVC / PET bags or cylinders are used instead of carton packaging, and can be screen printed, bronzing or silver.
2. Aluminum film composite bag, PE bag composite aluminum bag, generally used for facial mask cloth and film powder. Printable, hot stamping and silver stamping.
3. Plastic inner support
A. PVC \ PET plastic inner support, inner support, used in set boxes and small beer boxes
B. EVA foam inner support, usually placed in the box, plays a role in product protection and display.
C. Flocking inner tray, mostly used for boxing
4. Shrink film: PVC material and POF material environmental protection material, sealed on the surface of the outer box, play a protective role, not easy to stain.

Precautions for cosmetic packaging materials
1. Does the printing quality pass?
Cosmetic packaging requires exquisite printing and a good visual beauty, so its printing quality inspection is particularly important.
At present, the conventional items of cosmetic packaging printing quality testing mainly include the printing ink layer wear resistance (scratch resistance), ink adhesion fastness and color discrimination testing. During the testing process, the packaging product does not appear to drop ink or deink. Qualified products.

2. Is the design reasonable?
For enterprises, while considering the cost, they should also consider the market expectations, and control the packaging material design, from the shape of the cosmetic packaging container to the label copy, from the style positioning to the transportation risk, from insourcing to outsourcing, etc. consider.
Especially for the market characteristics and potential of the product, the basic situation of the consumer group, such as: the age of the consumer group, economic income, cultural quality and other aspects. Good products do not have a suitable appearance, and ultimately damage the overall image of the product.

3. Is the capacity standard?
There are many types of packaging materials for skin care products, and the process is relatively complicated. Sometimes, it is inevitable that there is a gap between the container capacity and the design standard. Therefore, before the container is produced, the characteristics of the body should be fully considered and the target should be properly controlled. Whether the special specifications are complete, whether the appearance is beautiful, whether the vision is comfortable, etc.
Many companies often only know that they are produced according to the model when negotiating business. In fact, this is incomplete, because the material content is different, and the net content of the same container is different.

4. Is the packaging temperature resistant?
Some cosmetic inner packagings are made of composite films, which use adhesives to bond films of different materials together, and different materials have different shrinkage rates, so when the temperature changes (whether it is high or low), the compound The film bag will have delamination, surface wrinkling and other phenomena. Therefore, temperature resistance tests must be performed on flexible packaging.

5. Is the copy standard?
The country's label management for cosmetics is very strict, and it must be strictly implemented in accordance with the standards. Especially for characteristic products, some ingredients and their indexes must not have any slight errors and discrepancies. Otherwise, even the best packaging materials can not be used. In addition, in terms of the efficacy of the product, it must be carefully scrutinized and carefully reviewed to avoid false content, avoid prohibited words, and avoid consumer ambiguity.

6. Does the proportion of defective products exceed the standard?
Cosmetic packaging materials, especially outer packaging materials, are often produced manually, such as cartons, handbags, etc., due to the low degree of automation, defective or defective products inevitably appear.
Some machines produce glass bottles, hoses, etc. in terms of chromatic aberration, missed printing, shape, etc., and these problems will also occur. Therefore, these issues must be considered when purchasing. If the ratio of qualified products and defective products does not exceed the basic standard during the inspection of package materials, then the purchase of package materials is successful, but when ordering package materials, the quantity should be appropriately increased to ensure that there is enough and there is room for selection.
