Plastic thick-walled cosmetic cases have replaced plastic flip-top drawers and traditional lockets for cosmetic and toiletry products over the past two decades. Plastic thick-walled cosmetic bottle manufacturers quickly realized the value of this new, lightweight and durable material. Plastic cosmetic cases offer many benefits for cosmetic and toiletry use, including: ease of use, safety, product visibility, variety and value. Plastic cosmetic cases also save a company money, as the case is less expensive than a new set of lockets or drawers.
Plastic thick-walled bottle manufacturers are able to create high-quality, durable, plastic containers to meet customer specifications. Some plastic containers feature a touch-free release system that provides an automatic closing lid, making removal of the product simple. The thick-walled plastic case is also more impact resistant than traditional thin-walled plastic containers, and is ideal for product travel and storage.
Plastic containers are commonly referred to as blister packs, airtight plastic containers or plastic sheets. A plastic container's thickness directly affects the product's ability to maintain its shape and integrity during transport. Most plastic container manufacturers create their plastic containers in a thickness of 0.2mm to accommodate all sizes and shapes of bottles. Because of this increased consistency among manufacturer plastic sheets, many cosmetic and toiletry products are now being produced in standard thickness plastic containers.
Plastic containers are typically made of polypropylene, polystyrene, or epoxy, although some plastic sheets are made with other plastics such as polyacrylate and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). A thick-walled plastic container can be manufactured from a variety of materials, including: polyethylene, which is known for its high strength and durability; polycarbonate, which offers a lightweight but durable material; and thermoplastic, which is created using plastics which have high resistance to chemicals such as chlorine, iodine, and chlorine vapors. Most plastic containers come with detailed instructions on how to safely use them.
If a plastic container is to be used to store and ship products that are considered hazardous, it must be designed to meet FDA (Food & Drug Administration) and industry standards. To this end, most plastic containers are required to comply with requirements regarding chemical resistance, as well as food contact requirements. Plastic thick-walled cosmetic cases are available to meet FDA and industry requirements for storage and shipping purposes.
Plastic containers are typically available in two different types: low-density and high-density. High density plastic containers are able to store more product at one time than low-density counterparts. Plastic thick-walled and clear styles are most often used for cosmetic shipping and product display purposes. Plastic thick-walled cases are also available for all purpose general-purpose containers.
