It has come to my attention through personal research that a lot of companies are using the term "plastic" to refer to polystyrene or more commonly known as polystyrene. But what is polystyrene and why are some bottles called glass? The main problem with the term "plastic" is that it can be very misleading, especially when you think about the actual usage of the term. In this article I will explore some of the problems with calling your product a plastic, and hopefully get you a better understanding of the glass bottles you use in your everyday life. So let's begin.
A lot of the time when people see the term "plastic" they automatically assume that it is some type of thick, clear plastic that is going to help them get price discounts on their everyday product purchases. But what is actually used in the term "plastic" is simply Styrofoam. Companies like to use these terms because they are cheap and sound very similar to the phrase "glass." Glass is usually used to describe products that are specifically made out of the material (not an impression) of glass, so think about it for a moment: do you really need to call your new products "glass"? Probably not, so the term "plastic" is used in order to get price points for their packaging.
Now let's look at some of the other applications that you see the term "plastic" used for. Medical applications include things such as catheters and IV ports. A thick-walled cosmetic container that is used to store medications or medical devices, is also going to be used in personal care products such as skin care packaging.
The only reason that this term isn't used more often when it comes to personal care is because it doesn't sound as exciting as plastic packaging. You can save money on your medical and personal care product purchases, and get price points on your packaging, by using the term "plastic" yourself. Instead of "plastic skin care," try "plastic personal care" or "plastic nail polish."
Another way you can get great price points when buying your cosmetics is to purchase a Blue Plastic Thick-Walled Cosmetic Bottle with a custom logo on it. If you know how to design and print your own business logos, you can get price points for anything from your own home! You don't have to limit yourself to square cosmetic acrylic cream jars, either. You could instead get a custom-shaped bottle of anything from lip balm to hand cream.
You can also make all of your own personal spa items such as face scrubs, body washes, lotions and even nail polish and manicure products to go into your Blue Plastic Thick-Walled Cosmetic Bottle. Instead of being limited to square cosmetic acrylic cream jars, you could instead be able to put a little bit of everything you want into those square jars and have them sitting on your counter for everyone to see. This is another great way to get price points for anything you make at home. It's also a great way to show your personal style and individuality.
