From minimalist to extremely flashy by design, brands are competing for a share of their segment of the beauty industry. Furthermore, there are quite a few different materials packaging can be made of such as metal, plastic, and glass. The shape and size of the packaging can also be a major factor in how you package (and perceive) each individual product.

The Different Types of Cosmetic Packaging

There are quite a few types of containers that are suitable for and commonly used by cosmetics brands. A large portion of products are usually packaged in either a jar, bottle, or tube. The best makeup packaging for lip glosses and lipsticks are primarily found in tubes, while cream-based makeup and powders are found in compact skincare packaging containers. Cosmetics lines for mascara and lip glosses are usually found in vials with a brush attached to the cap.

• Jars - Good for products that may not pour well or that a customer may not want to buy in large portions, as jars come in a wide array of sizes.
  • Examples: Cosmetics and makeup products jars work well with are powders and thicker products such as some face creams, skincare lotions or hair gels.
• Bottles - Good for liquid products that you want to be dispensed by a certain method (pump, sprayer) and want larger volumes of.
  • Examples: Soaps and shampoos, cosmetics you want to be sprayed like some hair products, and skincare lotions. We carry glass bottles in all shapes and sizes.
• Tubes -Great for products that consumers want more control over how they are dispensed and tend to be useful for use for your skin/face care products.
  • Examples: Products such as ointments and liquid makeups. We carry an assortment of squeezable tubes.

The Different Types of Material for Your Cosmetics Packaging

Now that we have gone over the types of containers that can be used for cosmetic and makeup packaging, let&#;s discuss the materials for these packaging options. Materials like glass and plastic play vital roles in helping choose the right container for your cosmetic product.  The material the container is made from can affect everything from cost, how the container is used, and the aesthetic of the packaging.

• Glass - Great for products that you want the consumer to see clearly and works well with products like smaller bottles for essential oils or jars for cosmetics. Issues you run into with glass packaging are that glass can be on the more expensive side of materials unless you&#;re buying wholesale.
• Plastic - Works well for a wide variety of cosmetic products. However, it&#;s not as simple as choosing plastic. As we have mentioned in previous posts, there are many different types of plastics that can be used.
  • LDPE is a great option for having a little bit more flexibility for squeeze bottles and tubes.
  • PET is good for if you&#;re looking for something more rigid and transparent like for spray bottles and jars of makeup. You get the look of glass without the extra cost associated with it.
  • HDPE offers many of the same benefits of PET except it is lacking in transparency because of its natural color.

To summarize, finding the best cosmetic packaging design can be challenging, depending on what is important for your brand. Do you want to stand out on the shelf? Do you need cool lipstick packaging? Are you looking for a container that provides the best long-term stability of your product?

When it comes to buying online, it seems that we sometimes have to purchase things on a wing and a prayer. While online purchases often take the guesswork out of the transaction because you don&#;t have to wander down aisle after aisle at store after store, it can sometimes be challenging to really visualize what you&#;re purchases will be like once they arrive. This is definitely true for sizes of cosmetic jars. Not only do they vary, but how do you know which one is right for your project? Let&#;s shed some light on this subject for you.

Start Small with Grams

If you&#;re not very familiar with the metric system, it may be hard to picture what a gram or milliliter is. Suffice to say they&#;re small measurements. So 3-gram cosmetic jars are quite tiny. Consider 3- to 5-gram jars for your samples. Samples are typically giveaways you offer to entice a customer to buy a larger size. You can put just enough in these cosmetic jars to give customers a taste so they&#;ll want more. Whether a lotion, ointment, gel, or lip color / balm, it will fit perfectly as a trial in these small containers.

Another great use for smaller sized cosmetic jars is gifting. If you&#;re an at-home creator of lotions and potions, you can make a large batch of lip balm or a yummy smelling lotion and divvy it up among a collection of small cosmetic jars. The price point is a good match for any budget, and you can give your handmade treasures to friends and family for holiday gifts, thank-you gifts, or even favors at a party, wedding, or event.

Gram-sized cosmetic jars range from 3 grams to 50 grams / ml, and while that may sound like a huge difference, remember that we&#;re dealing in small increments here. Yes, the 50 ml is larger than the 3 ml size, but you&#;re still not putting a large amount in any of these sizes. Think about the cosmetics you make and keep in small amounts: lip balm and color, rouge, eye shadow, purse-sized lotions, and oils. Smaller cosmetic jars are also a great solution as pill holders and for personal-sized condiments. These containers travel well, so keep that in mind for anything you need to fit in a purse or travel bag.

Move into Ounce-sized Cosmetic Jars

Once you outgrow the grams / milliliters, you graduate to the ounces sizes of cosmetic jars. These are a big jump from the smaller sizes and can hold much more. Rather than samples or small containers, ounce-sized cosmetic jars are the primary holders you&#;ll use for lotions at home. Think of the jars at the cosmetics counter for cold cream; that&#;s the size you&#;re looking at here.

In sizes ranging from 4 oz to 8 oz, you&#;ll find a size that&#;s perfect for your needs. To give you an indication of how much we&#;re looking at here, 4 oz is about ½ cup, while 8 oz is 1 cup. That&#;s in comparison to 1/3 cup or smaller in the gram-sized cosmetics jars.

While there is a higher investment in ounce cosmetics jars, these are the sizes that you&#;ll use to sell goods, so you&#;ll be able to recoup the cost in your markup. And there&#;s plenty of room for a beautiful label to brand your treasures. Use the cup equivalent as your guide and you&#;ll be sure to choose the perfect size.
