Cosmetics come with a wide range of packaging materials, and plastic containers rank among the most widely adopted options. For cosmetics OEM operations, a solid grasp of relevant expertise enables you to swiftly identify the optimal packaging solution, thereby boosting both the safety and market appeal of your cosmetic products.
Available materials for plastic cosmetic containers include PE, PP, PET, PETG, Acrylic, ABS, MS, PS, etc.
Based on their functions and manufacturing processes, these containers fall into three main categories: plastic bottles, flexible tubes, and cream jars.
I. Plastic Bottles
Common materials for plastic bottles include PE, PP, PET, PETG, Acrylic, PS, etc.
PP/PE Plastic cosmetic Bottles
PP/PE bottles are manufactured via extrusion blow molding. They are ideal for packaging a variety of cosmetics and daily care products, including toners, lotions, sunscreens, shampoos, body washes, and conditioners, and feature excellent compatibility with product contents.
The material offers great flexibility for easy squeezing, with a low-gloss, low-transparency finish that only supports translucent or solid-color designs. Custom colors are available upon request, and a clear mold parting line is visible at the bottom of each bottle.
Available accessories include screw caps, flip-top caps, spray pumps, lotion pumps, and oil pumps.
PE and PP molds are interchangeable, with a short development cycle (4 weeks) and low costs, making them an ideal choice for private mold development.
