Based on the current situation, due to the lightweight and affordable nature of plastic, it is easy to form large-scale production and can be made into bottles of various sizes, transparent, opaque, and various colors. Moreover, the printing performance is excellent, and methods such as heat transfer printing, inkjet printing, and printing can be used to directly print instructions, labels, and barcodes on the surface of containers. Therefore, plastic products have occupied more than 80% of the packaging market of cosmetics and become the most important packaging container for cosmetics. Previously, cosmetics were generally packaged in glass bottles. However, due to the limited variety of glass containers, even with good design concepts, due to limitations in technology and materials, it is often not possible to achieve this.
However, plastic materials have great advantages in this regard. They not only have abundant sources, but also have good molding performance. They can be manufactured into various structures and shapes of plastic containers such as bottles, cans, and boxes, and can be used for various decoration and design purposes. In addition, in recent years, the application of PET resin in cosmetic containers has developed rapidly, leading to a major transformation of replacing glass bottles with plastics.
