One, plastic material categories
1. AS: The hardness is not high, it is brittle (there is a crisp sound when knocking), transparent color, and the background color is blue, which can be directly contacted with cosmetics and food. In ordinary lotion bottles and airless bottles, it is usually the bottle body It can also be made into small-capacity cream bottles. It is transparent.
2. ABS: It is an engineering plastic, not environmentally friendly, with high hardness, and cannot be directly contacted with cosmetics and food. In acrylic cosmetic packaging materials, it is generally the material of the inner cover and shoulder sleeve. The color is yellowish or milky white.
3. PP, PE: environmentally friendly materials that can be directly contacted with cosmetics and food. They are the main materials for filling organic skin care products. The materials are whitish and translucent. According to different molecular structures, it can reach three different degrees of softness and hardness.
4. PET: It is an environmentally friendly material that can be directly contacted with cosmetics and food. It is the main material for filling organic skin care products. The PET material is soft and its natural color is transparent.
5. PCTA and PETG: environmentally friendly materials that can be directly contacted with cosmetics and food. They are the main materials for filling organic skin care products. The material is soft and transparent. PCTA and PETG are soft and easy to scratch. And it is not often used to spray pictures and use more printing.
6. Acrylic: The material is hard, transparent, and the background color is whitish. In order to maintain a transparent texture, acrylic is often sprayed inside the outer bottle or painted during injection molding.
2. Types of packaging bottles
1. Airless bottle: cap, shoulder sleeve, vacuum pump, piston. Rely on air pressure to use. The sprinklers matched have a chicken beak tip (either all plastic or anodized aluminum on the outside), and the duckbill flat head is covered with a layer of plastic.
2. Lotion bottle: consists of lid, shoulder sleeve, lotion pump and piston. Most of them are equipped with hoses. Most of them are made of outer acrylic and inner PP. The cover is made of outer acrylic and inner ABS.
3. Perfume bottle:
The internal composition is made of glass and external aluminum (according to the cover head divided into rotating and non-rotating two kinds)
PP bottle (full PP for small injection)
Glass drip irrigation
The inner liner of the perfume bottle is mostly glass and PP.
Large-capacity uses glass, because the storage time is longer, PP is suitable for small-capacity short-term storage. Most of PCTA and PETG do not have perfume.
4. Cream bottle: There are outer cover, inner cover, outer bottle and inner liner.
External acrylic, internal PP material. The lid is made of outer acrylic and inner ABS with a layer of PP gasket.
The inner ceramic, PP outer anodized aluminum, the cover outer anodized aluminum, PP inner ABS plus a layer of PP gasket.
Full PP bottle with a layer of PP gasket inside.
External ABS internal PP. There is a layer of PP gasket.
5. Blow-molded bottles: mostly made of PET. There are three types of lids: Qianqiu lid, flip lid and screw lid. Blow molding is the direct blowing of the preform. The characteristic is that there is a bump on the bottom of the bottle. It is brighter under light.
6. Blow-injection bottle: The material is mostly PP or PE. There are three types of lids: Qianqiu lid, flip lid and screw lid. Blow-injection bottle is a process that combines blow-injection and blow-molding, and only requires one mold. The characteristic is that there is an adhesive line at the bottom of the bottle.
7. Aluminum-plastic hose: the innermost is PE material and the outside is aluminum packaging. And for offset printing. After cutting, roll up. According to the tube head, it can be divided into round tube, flat tube and oval tube. Price: round tube
8. All-plastic hose: all are PE material, and the hose is first pulled out and then cut and offset printing, silk-screen printing, hot stamping. According to the tube head, it can be divided into round tube, flat tube and oval tube. Price: round tube
3. Nozzle, lotion pump, hand washing pump and length measurement
1. Sprinkler head: bayonet (half bayonet aluminum, full bayonet aluminum), the screw is all plastic, but some are covered with a layer of aluminum cover and a layer of anodized aluminum.
2. Lotion pump: It is divided into vacuum and suction tube, both of which are screw ports. A layer of anodized aluminum can also be covered on the large screw cap and head cap. Divided into two kinds of sharp beak and duckbill.
3. Hand-washing pump: The caliber is too large, all of which are screw holes. A layer of anodized aluminum can also be covered on the large screw cap and head cap. Generally, the steps are threaded, and the ones without steps are the left and right knobs.
Length measurement: the length of the sub-pipette (from the gasket to the end of the hose or the length of the FBOG). Exposed length. And the length measured under the big hood (equal to the length from the bottle shoulder to the bottom of the bottle).
Specification classification: It mainly depends on the product inner diameter (the inner diameter is the innermost diameter of the pump) or the height of the large circle.
Nozzle: 15/18/20 MM all plastic is also divided into 18/20/24
Lotion pump: 18/20/24 MM
Hand washing pump: 24/28/32(33) MM
Large circle height: 400/410/415 (only the pure specification code is not the actual height)
Note: The expression of specification classification is such as: lotion pump: 24/415
Metering measurement method: (actually the dose of liquid ejected by the nozzle at one time) There are two methods: peeling measurement method and absolute value measurement method. The error is within 0.02g. The size of the pump body is also used to distinguish the measurement.
Fourth, the coloring process
1. Anodized aluminum: aluminum exterior, just one layer wrapped on the inner layer of plastic.
2. Electroplating (UV): Compared with the spray image, the effect is brighter.
3. Spraying: Compared with electroplating, the color is dull.
Frosting: A layer of frosted texture.
Outer spraying of the inner bottle: spraying on the outside of the inner bottle has a clear gap between the outer bottle and the outer bottle. When viewed from the side, the spray map area is small.
Inner spray on outer bottle: It is sprayed on the inside of the outer bottle, which looks larger from the outside. The area is small when viewed from the vertical plane. And there is no gap with the inner bottle.
4. Brushed gold and silver: It is actually a piece of film, and you can find the gaps in the bottle through careful observation.
5. Secondary oxidation: secondary oxidation is performed on the original oxide layer, so as to achieve a pattern with a dull surface covering the glossy surface or a pattern with a glossy surface appearing on the dull surface. Mostly used for logo production.
6. Injection color: Toner is added to the raw material during product injection. The process is relatively cheap. Pearl powder can also be added, or cornstarch can be added to make the transparent color of PET into an opaque color (additional toner can be used for color mixing). The generation of water ripples is related to the amount of pearl powder added.
Five, printing process
1. Silk screen: The effect after printing has obvious concavity and convexity. Because it is a layer of ink. The silk-screened regular bottles (cylindrical type) can be printed at one time. One-time cost of other irregular pieces. Color is also a one-time fee. And it is divided into two types: self-drying ink and UV ink. The self-drying ink is easy to fall off for a long time and can be wiped off with alcohol. UV ink has obvious bumps to the touch and is difficult to wipe off.
2. Hot stamping: a thin layer of paper is stamped on it. Therefore, there is no bumpy feel of silk screen printing. And hot stamping is best not directly on the two materials of PE and PP. Need to perform thermal transfer first and then hot stamping. Or a good bronzing paper can also be directly bronzed. Hot stamping is not allowed on aluminum plastic, hot stamping can be done at full speed.
3. Water transfer: It is an irregular printing process carried out in water. The printed lines are inconsistent. And the price is more expensive.
4. Thermal transfer: thermal transfer is mostly used for large-volume and complex printing products. Belongs to attach a layer of film to the surface. The price is too expensive.
5. Offset printing: mostly used for aluminum-plastic hoses and all-plastic hoses. If the offset printing is made of colored hoses, you must use silk screen printing, as the offset printing will show through the background color. And sometimes a layer of bright film or sub-film is attached to the surface of the hose.
