Plastic Bottles VS Glass Bottles, Which One is Better?

Plastic bottles and glass bottles are two common cosmetic packaging. Do you know which one is better? As a cosmetic packages supplier, I will share it with you.

Advantages of Plastic Bottle Packaging

Plastic Bottles

Plastic is a high-molecular synthetic material with many types.

(1) The weight of the plastic bottle is light, so it is convenient to store and transport, and it is easy to carry and use;

(2) Plastic bottles have good barrier properties and good airtightness; and plastic bottles have high transparency;

(3) Plastics can be manufactured into bottles, caps, films, bags and composite packaging materials of various specifications and sizes;

(4) The plastic bottle has good decorative coloring and printing performance. Drug labels, instructions, signs, and barcodes can be directly inkjet or printed on plastic materials, and they will not fall off;

(5) The cost of plastic bottles is lower than that of glass bottles.

Disadvantages of Plastic Bottle Packaging

(2) The surface of the plastic bottle is easily contaminated,

Advantages of Glass Bottle Packaging
