Throughout the entire process from the production of goods to their arrival at the hands of consumers, plastic packaging bottles act like a silent "guardian". It not only needs to ensure that the product is not damaged during transportation and storage, but also attract consumers' attention on the shelves and even provide a good experience when consumers use it. There are numerous types of plastic packaging bottles on the market, each with different materials, styles and functions. So, how can one choose to find the one that best suits their own products? In fact, as long as you grasp a few core points, you can make a wise choice.
Starting from the product features, identify the core demands
The requirements for plastic packaging bottles vary greatly among different products. If it is a liquid product, such as beverages or sauces, the first thing to consider is leakage prevention. If it is a powdered product, such as protein powder or milk powder, moisture-proofing becomes the key. For those volatile products, such as perfumes and essential oils, the sealing property of the packaging bottles is of Paramount importance.
Take cosmetics as an example. The essence in skin care products mostly contains active ingredients, which are afraid of oxidation and contamination. This requires that the packaging bottles not only be well sealed but also be able to block light. At this point, dark glass or plastic bottles with light-blocking designs are good choices. For products like detergents, the packaging bottles need to have a certain degree of corrosion resistance to avoid being eroded by the chemicals inside.
Material is the foundation, but safety comes first
The material of plastic packaging bottles is directly related to product safety, which is a point that must not be ignored. Common plastic materials include PET, HDPE, PP, etc., each with its own characteristics.
PET material has high transparency and good chemical stability, and is not prone to react with the contents. It is very suitable for holding drinking water, fruit juice and other foods. However, its heat resistance is average and it cannot be used to hold high-temperature liquids. HDPE material is relatively sturdy and highly resistant to corrosion. For daily chemical products like shampoo, body wash and detergent, HDPE bottles are very suitable for packaging. PP material has good heat resistance. Many lunch boxes suitable for microwave ovens are made of PP material. Therefore, for some food packaging that needs to be heated, PP bottles can also be considered.
When choosing materials, it is essential to ensure that they comply with relevant safety standards. Especially for packaging bottles that come into direct contact with food and medicine, they must pass strict safety tests and must not contain harmful substances. Like JXPACK, it is very strict in material control. The raw materials it selects, such as PET and HDPE, have all undergone multiple safety tests to ensure the safety of the materials from the source, which can well meet the safety requirements of different fields such as food and daily chemicals.
The detailed design is full of subtleties, practical and considerate
In addition to the material and basic protective functions, the detailed design of the packaging bottle is also very important. The size of the bottle mouth should be appropriate, which not only makes it convenient to pour out the contents but also avoids waste. For instance, if the mouth of a ketchup bottle is designed to be too small, it is prone to clogging when pouring. If it's too big, it's easy to pour out too much.
The design of bottle caps also has its own considerations. Nowadays, many packaging bottles use press-type or pump-type bottle caps, which are convenient and hygienic to use, and are particularly suitable for products that need to be used multiple times, such as skin care products and detergents. Some packaging bottles are marked with scales on the bottle body, allowing consumers to clearly know how much has been used and how much is left. This considerate design is very likely to win the favor of consumers. JXPACK pays great attention to the detailed design. For instance, it designs bottle mouth sizes that are suitable for the characteristics of different products. For example, the bottle mouth size of sauce products has been adjusted many times to ensure smooth pouring without overfilling. The press-type bottle cap it launched has strong sealing performance and can precisely control the output volume, providing a very good user experience.
Balance environmental protection and cost to achieve sustainable development
Nowadays, the concept of environmental protection is increasingly rooted in people's hearts, and the environmental friendliness of plastic packaging bottles has also become a focus of attention for many enterprises and consumers. Recyclable and degradable packaging bottles can not only reduce environmental pollution but also enhance the brand image. Many enterprises have begun to use recycled plastic to make packaging bottles, and some are developing degradable materials. These are all good attempts.
Of course, cost is also a factor that enterprises must consider when choosing packaging bottles. Under the premise of ensuring quality, products with high cost performance should be chosen as much as possible. Costs can be reduced through bulk purchasing, or optimization can be made in design. For instance, without affecting performance, the use of materials can be reduced to achieve lightweight packaging.
Bonus points for appearance design help attract traffic to the product
In a highly competitive market, the appearance design of packaging bottles is like the "face" of a product, capable of catching consumers' attention at the first moment. Unique bottle shapes, exquisite patterns and appropriate colors can all make the product stand out on the shelves.
For instance, some high-end skin care products will adopt simple and elegant bottle shapes, paired with bottle caps that are full of texture, and with exquisite printing, the grade of the product is immediately elevated. For products targeted at young consumers, the design of the packaging bottles can be more fashionable and distinctive, incorporating some popular elements to enhance the appeal of the products.
However, the appearance design should not only pursue good looks but also take practicality into account. For instance, the bottle shape should be convenient to hold and the label should be clear and easy to read. These details can all enhance the user experience of consumers.
Choosing plastic packaging bottles is essentially about finding a balance among product features, material safety, practical design, environmental cost and appearance appeal. Only by comprehensively considering these factors can one select packaging bottles that are both suitable for the product and meet market demands. Whether it is a newly established small enterprise or a large one of a certain scale, they all need to put more effort into this aspect, because a suitable packaging bottle may become an important driving force for the success of the product.
