Cosmetic Packaging Procurement Guide: A Key Decision for Building Brand Image​

In the highly competitive cosmetic market, packaging is not just a container for products, but also a crucial carrier of brand image, directly influencing consumers' purchasing decisions. Therefore, cosmetic packaging procurement has become a vital link for brand owners. Below is a detailed introduction to the key points of cosmetic packaging procurement and the advantages of JXPACK in this process.

Adaptation to Product Characteristics: Different types of cosmetics vary in ingredients, textures, and shelf lives, leading to distinct requirements for packaging. For instance, color cosmetics (such as lipsticks and eye shadows) usually require opaque packaging to maintain their color and texture; liquid products (like toners and serums) need packaging with leak-proof and anti-volatilization functions. For products sensitive to light and heat, light-proof or heat-insulating packaging materials should be selected to prevent ingredient failure or deterioration.

Alignment with Brand Positioning: Brand positioning determines the target consumer group, and the packaging style should cater to the preferences of this group. High-end brands focus on the texture and luxury of packaging to highlight brand value; brands targeting young consumers tend to adopt fashionable and personalized packaging designs, which are more dynamic and trendy. Accurately grasping brand positioning enables packaging to serve as an effective communication bridge between the brand and consumers.

Plastic Packaging: It has the advantages of low cost, light weight, easy processing, and flexible shaping. Common plastic materials include PET, PP, acrylic, etc. PET material is environmentally friendly, with high barrier properties, light weight, shatterproof, and strong transparency, making it widely used in packaging products like hair styling gels. Acrylic material has an elegant appearance but poor chemical resistance; generally, an inner liner is required for isolation to prevent the cream from coming into contact with it and causing cracking.

Glass Packaging: It features high transparency, aesthetics, and durability, and is often used for packaging skin care products (creams, lotions), perfumes, essential oils, nail polishes, etc. Wide-mouth bottles are suitable for solid creams, while narrow-mouth bottles paired with pumps are applicable to emulsions or water-based creams. The disadvantages of glass materials are fragility, long production cycles, and high order quantity requirements.

Metal Packaging: It gives a sense of high-grade and durability but is prone to discoloration under the influence of environmental factors. It is often used in the packaging of some high-end brand cosmetics to enhance product texture.

Other Materials: Such as ceramics, which are high-grade and durable but have high costs and are fragile; materials like silica gel and paper also have their unique advantages and disadvantages, so careful selection should be made based on product characteristics.

Aesthetic Design: The design elements of packaging, such as shape, color, and pattern, should be closely aligned with the brand image, while considering current design trends. For example, popular trends like minimalism, retro style, or bold and bright color matching can all add appeal to the product. Unique designs can make the product stand out on the shelf and attract consumers' attention.

Functional Practicality: Packaging should provide a good user experience. Skin care products may require the use of airless pumps to reduce the contact between the product and air and extend the shelf life; cosmetic packaging needs to be equipped with easy-to-use application tools or container openings for consumers to take the product conveniently. In addition, for travel-sized products, the packaging should be lightweight, compact, and well-sealed for easy carrying.

Safety Standards: Cosmetic packaging must comply with strict safety standards to ensure that the materials are non-toxic, odorless, corrosion-resistant, and high-temperature resistant, without causing pollution or deterioration of the product, and ensuring the safety of consumers' use. At the same time, it must meet the requirements of national relevant regulations on cosmetic packaging, such as the accuracy and completeness of label identification.

Environmental Considerations: With the enhancement of consumers' environmental awareness, environmental friendliness has become an important indicator for packaging procurement. Priority should be given to recyclable and degradable environmentally friendly materials to reduce negative impacts on the environment. Adopting simple packaging designs and avoiding excessive packaging are also important measures to practice the concept of environmental protection.
