In the entire cosmetics industry chain, the quality of packaging materials directly determines the external image of the product. Packaging materials are not only containers, but also product promotion and product quality. Therefore, manufacturers must attach great importance to packaging materials purchase.
Packing classification
According to the packaging form and material variety of cosmetics, it can be divided into:
a. Bottles (including plastic bottles, glass bottles, etc.);
b. Cover [including outer cover, inner cover, (plug, pad, film), etc.];
c. Bags (including paper bags, plastic bags, composite bags);
d. Hose (including plastic hose, composite hose, metal hose, etc.);
e. Box (including plastic cartons, plastic boxes, metal boxes, etc.);
f. Spray cans (including pressure-resistant aluminum cans, iron cans, etc.);
g. Ingot tube (including lipstick tube, foundation tube, mascara tube, etc.);
h. Makeup pen
i. Nozzle (including pneumatic type and pump type);
j. Outer box (including flower box, plastic seal, middle box, transportation packaging, etc.).
Basic requirements for packaging materials
One, container and container matching category
1. Bottle

Problems that are easy to occur in the acceptance of packaging materials
In summary, there are mainly two aspects:
1. Process issues
1. The color printing accuracy of the inner bag of the mask is not enough and the color is incorrect
2. The layout of the inner bag is inconsistent with the design draft (the rounded corners at the edges become right angles)
3. The paint of the glass bottle is off, and the hot stamping is out of place
4. Scratches in the glass bottle during transportation; the hot stamping on the frosted glass bottle rubs against the bottle body, and the hot stamping is scratched.
5. The bottle cap is loose, the pump head is tightened, and the gap between the pump head and the bottle shoulder is too large
6. Printing mistakes (trademark printing wrong, name printing wrong, weight printing wrong, etc.)
7. The surface of the box is not flat
8. The set box is deformed, the sticking is not strong, and there are traces of glue on the surface of the box
9. Color box printing, paste gold at the hot stamping
10. Wrong hose caliber (need 3mm, finished product is 5mm)
11. The color of the packaging material is too different (compare each batch of packaging)
12. The color of the electric eye on the package can be changed by the manufacturer at will (the colored dot in the middle of the end of the toothpaste tube)
13. The hose printing icon is deformed
14. Glue adhesion on the handbag
15. Incomplete supporting packaging
16. The packaging surface is dirty, with dust, glue, handprints, etc.
Second, the material problem
1. Insufficient internal card support
2. The glass bottle is not bright enough
3. Insufficient number of composite layers of hose
4. The thickness of the inner bag of the mask is not enough
5. The buckle of the inner cap of the bottle is too soft and deformed during the tightening process
6. Some plastic bottles are not resistant to high temperature, deformed or become brittle
7. Plastic bottles become brittle under light
…
The above is just a list of some common problems, and there are many other problems. Customers need to control the packaging materials. For example, there should be no pitting on the front of the bottle. Some customers can accept it, and the acceptance staff needs to grasp it. .
