Which Are Better for Containing the Cosmetics, Glass Bottles or Plastic Bottles?

In fact, there is no absolute difference between good and bad packaging materials. The choice of packaging materials for different products according to various factors such as brand and cost is the first consideration. Only the being fit is the starting point for all choices. So how to better judge whether there should be a plastic jar bottle or a glass bottle based on the current products, then let me share some of the differences between them and their advantages and disadvantages.

1. plastic jar bottle

(1) Advantages of plastic jar bottles

Compared with glass products, plastic jar bottles have lower density, light weight, adjustable transparency, and are not easily broken. What's more, plastic jar bottles have better corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, impact resistance, and higher mechanical strength. They are also easy to shape with the low production loss. And plastic products are easy to color. Colors can be adjusted according to needs, which makes it easier to achieve packaging design requirements. The most important thing is that plastic jar bottles have relatively low costs compared to glass bottles.

(2) Disadvantages of plastic jar bottles

The disadvantages of plastic jar bottle are also obvious. People's first impression is that they are not environmentally friendly. Plastic materials are prone to chemical reactions with cosmetics, which can easily cause cosmetics to deteriorate. The overall look is relatively cheap and not suitable for high-end routes.

2. Glass bottle

(1) Advantages of glass bottles

① The composition of glass is relatively stable, and it is not easy to produce chemical reaction with skin care products. Generally speaking, skin care products are packed in glass bottles, which are not easy to deteriorate.

② Glass bottles have a sense of luxury. The main marketing of skin care products sold by merchants are two concepts, appearance + effect. Transparent glass bottles often convey a sense of luxury to consumers, and when they fill some transparent or colorful skin care products, it looks so good.

③ The weight of the glass bottle is heavier, and it has more weight in the hand and feels more material.

④ The sterilization of glass bottles is more convenient and thorough than plastic jar bottles. The easiest and most thorough way to disinfect plastic jar bottles and packaging materials is to wash them with water and then bake them at high temperature for disinfection. The glass bottle can be washed and baked with water, because the glass is resistant to high temperatures.

(2) Disadvantages of glass bottles

Glass materials are more expensive than plastic materials, so the cost of glass bottles for skin care products is relatively high. Glass bottles are easy to accidentally break, and all the skin care products in them will be scrapped, which is too easy to waste. The glass bottles are fixed in shape, bulky and heavy, and not easy to carry when going out.
