How to find suitable packaging materials for new skin care products

When looking for suitable packaging materials for new skin care products, attention should be paid to material and safety, product stability, protective performance, sustainability and environmental protection, supply chain reliability, packaging design and plasticity, as well as cost-effectiveness and operability. By comprehensively considering these factors, the most appropriate packaging materials can be selected to meet the needs of the product and ensure the improvement of product quality and user experience. The following are specific references:

1. Packaging material and safety:

– Consider the material of the packaging material, such as plastic (such as polyethylene, polypropylene, PET, etc.), glass, metal or composite materials, etc. Choose the most suitable material according to the nature and characteristics of the product.
– Ensure that packaging materials comply with relevant regulations and standards, such as the certification requirements of the US FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) or the EU COSMOS (Organic and Natural Cosmetics Certification Standard).
– Understand the supplier’s material sources and quality assurance system to ensure the safety and quality of packaging materials.

2. Packaging product stability:

- Packaging materials should have the ability to protect the stability of product ingredients to ensure that the active ingredients of the product will not be destroyed or lose efficacy due to contact with packaging materials.
– Consider the barrier properties of packaging materials against factors such as sunlight, oxygen, humidity, and temperature to prevent products from deteriorating or being damaged by the external environment.
– Understand the chemical stability of packaging materials to ensure that there will be no adverse reactions with the ingredients in the product, such as chemical reactions, corrosion or color changes.

3. Packaging material protection performance:

- Consider the sealing performance of packaging materials to ensure effective protection against product leakage, evaporation or external contamination.
– For products that are easily oxidized, choose packaging materials with good oxygen barrier properties to reduce the oxidative impact of oxygen on the product.
– For products that are easily affected by the spectrum, choose packaging materials with UV protection properties to protect the stability and quality of the product.

4. Sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging materials:

- Consider the sustainability of packaging materials and choose degradable or recycled materials to reduce the impact on the environment.
- Understand the supplier’s production process and environmental protection measures to ensure that the production of packaging materials complies with environmental standards and sustainable development principles.
- Consider the recycling capabilities of packaging materials, encourage users to recycle and reuse packaging materials, and reduce waste and resource consumption.

5. Packaging material supply chain reliability:

- Evaluate the credibility and qualifications of suppliers to ensure they have stable supply capabilities.
- Consider the supplier’s production capacity, quality control system, and delivery on-time rate to ensure that the production and supply of packaging materials meet your needs.

6. Packaging design and plasticity:

- Consider the appearance design of packaging materials to ensure it matches the product’s positioning and brand image.
- Consider the plasticity of packaging materials to meet product shape and capacity requirements while maintaining packaging portability and ease of use.
- Understand packaging printing and marking techniques in order to add necessary product information, labels or trademarks.

7. Cost-effectiveness and operability of packaging materials:

- Consider the cost-effectiveness and workability of packaging materials to ensure they are reasonably priced, affordable and suitable for your production and packaging processes.
- Consider the processing and production costs of packaging materials, including mold making, printing, production efficiency and other factors, to ensure that the production process of packaging materials has reasonable costs and efficient operability.
- Consider the ease of use and convenience of packaging materials so that products can be efficiently handled and filled during the packaging process and improve production efficiency.
