In general, the material of the glass bottle is made up of solid particles (powder), liquid and moisturizing emulsion cosmetics, and mud like makeup. The shape makes bottle packaging more popular in cosmetic packaging. At the same time, cosmetics itself does not have a unique appearance. It must be based on exquisite and distinctive packaging design scheme before it can mainly show its own characteristics.

    At this stage, the advantages of plastic bottle packaging are obvious. It is of high quality and low price. It can be made into all kinds of specifications, models and sizes, fully transparent and partially transparent. At the same time, the packaging and printing characteristics of plastic bottle packaging are very good, and the instructions, marks and bar codes can be immediately printed on the surface of utensils by means of heat transfer printing process, inkjet printing, packaging printing and so on. In recent years, pet epoxy resin has a rapid development trend in the application of cosmetic utensils, which has promoted a major transformation of replacing glass bottles with plastics. Plastic products have already occupied more than 80% of the packaging sales market of cosmetics and become the most critical packaging utensils of cosmetics.

    Compared with the proportion of plastics, the proportion of bottle packaging made of laminated glass in cosmetics packaging is less, no more than 8%. Cosmetics production and processing shows that laminated glass still has irreplaceable advantages in this industry. It is still the preferred raw material for high-end cosmetics in a short time, and the reasons for this situation are as follows.

    First, the material of glass bottle packaging is better than plastic bottle. Elegant temperament is the style of the glass bottle. It can be made into yarn grinding type or fully transparent. At the same time, the sense of hierarchy of the glass bottle can increase the trust of customers and improve the level of cosmetics, which can not be guaranteed by plastic packaging. At this stage, most fragrances are packaged or used in glass bottles. For example, Spanish BVLGARI’s perfume for women, its packaging design has adopted the exquisite traditional style, streamline the shape of the glass bottle to highlight its simple line frame, the bottle body is mild green, and conveys the characteristic of refreshing, elegant and friendly.

     Second, the tightness of glass bottle packaging is good. For some cosmetics with skin whitening and nutritional effects, they contain many nutritional elements like food, but they are very easy to be oxidized, which stipulates that their packaging must be well sealed to isolate the harm of O2 to this kind of cosmetics. In addition, the volatile perfume has high requirements for the high barrier of packaging. The high barrier of glass bottle is strong, which is undoubtedly more important than plastic bottle in maintaining the content. Therefore, some high-end cosmetics or glass bottle packaging are preferred.

     At this stage, plastic bottle packaging often accounts for a large market share and is widely used in cosmetics packaging, but glass bottle packaging also has its irreplaceable advantages. Cosmetic packaging made of laminated glass should still follow the high-grade line in the future. At the same time, it is also necessary to improve its technical content.
