An Introduction of Cosmetic Packaging－Best pcb manufacturer,wholesale Multilayer PCB Design

For cosmetics companies with multiple products available, establishing visual uniformity can help get those products noticed on the shelf. Because of this, many packaging suppliers have started to develop what are referred to as packaging families to create a signature look as well as save time and money during the design process.

One major positive aspect of the Cosmetic packaging is establishing credibility within the brand. Inconsistent graphic branding and packaging is often perceived as careless, implying that the product inside may not be of the best quality. Additionally, studies show that many consumers unconsciously crave consistency and often desire the identifiable product.

This information was originally published in an article by Beauty Packaging, and our very own Director of Technical Sales Robert McDermott was asked for his input. He discussed a different aspect of packaging families — the benefits for manufacturers. First, he pointed out that the same tooling costs could be applied to multiple products within the family. “For example, a family of wide diameter, short profile PP airless bottles in 30, 50- and 100ml capacities, could all share the same pump mechanisms, housing, collars and actuators, meaning that the investment would only need to be made in three new bottle shapes.”

Additionally, applying the same fundamental design points to various products certainly saves time and cost in the design process. Rather than starting from scratch, designers can use the existing look and feel as a base, then tweak better suit the individual pieces in the packaging family. Then, more focus can be applied to differentiating the different products and benefits in the line while still maintaining a uniform shelf presence.

McDermott pointed out that East hill’s line of instock, on demand cosmetic tubes are excellent for developing product lines. “Although not a major breakthrough in terms of matching styles, our ability to offer tubes with a matching cap design from .25 oz. all the way up to 8 oz., ready for dispatch within 48 hours, has proven popular with brands big and small,” he says. “The tubes are all five-layer, co-ex PE material with PP caps, providing the very best barrier capabilities that can handle almost all formulations and are available in white or natural color to give brands the canvas to get creative in their custom decoration.”

Can you sell homemade cosmetics to the general public and retail outlets? This is one of the most common questions asked of me during my 25-plus years of making cosmetics. The answer, in almost all countries, is: Yes. There certainly seems to be a lot of confusion regarding this issue - fueled in part, I am sure, by the desire of the global conglomerates to keep control of this multi-billion dollar industry.

Many countries take their lead from the US FDA, so let's take a look at what the FDA has to say about the issue of making homemade cosmetics for retail sale. Homemade cosmetics are not required to be tested by the FDA - or any other authorities, for that matter. However, there are a few rules which must be observed.

1. The cosmetic product must be correctly labelled, and follow the labeling regulations. Essentially, this means stating the ingredients in descending order of use, the quantity of product contained within the packaging and any known safety precautions.

2. The cosmetic product must not contain any prohibited ingredients. If you are using professional formulations for making cosmetics, this will not represent any problem.

3. The cosmetic product must be free of pathogens. Again, if you are using professional formulations, you will not have any difficulties complying with this regulation.

The benefits of making cosmetics which have been professionally formulated, is that you will be able to produce top quality products of a calibre equal to, or even better than, the leading cosmetic manufacturers. How can your homemade cosmetics be better than the leading brands?

While it's true that top quality cosmetic products usually include high grade, effective ingredients, cosmetic manufacturing companies operate on extremely high profit levels - 1000% or even much higher. Because the most effective ingredients are also the most expensive, in order to maximize their profits, leading cosmetic making companies usually use these substances in the lowest proportion possible.

Making your own homemade cosmetics allows you to use the same ingredients - but in much higher proportion. This means you can produce products of much higher quality and effectiveness. If you have your own business making cosmetics, you can make color cosmetics, skin and hair care, body and bath products, and toiletries, which will quickly develop a loyal clientele. And you will be able to make the same profits as the big cosmetic manufacturing companies.

You can even start a business making cosmetics for other retailers - hair and beauty salons, spas, etc - and package the products especially for them, with their own label. Private label manufacturing is becoming increasingly popular.

Making homemade cosmetics for retail sale is a high profit and easy business to operate, and there are many ways to sell the products and develop markets. Because the big conglomerates concentrate on the large, mainstream retailers, there are literally thousands of smaller, untapped, hungry markets - a few contracts to supply these outlets can easily bring you a six-figure income.

To summarize, the FDA does not review or approve cosmetic products or cosmetic ingredients before they are sold to the public. The agency acts only against cosmetic products found to cause harm after they have been released on the market.
