The influence of can structure design on the compression resistance of cosmetic can packaging

In the cosmetics industry, the design of the can structure not only reflects the combination of aesthetics and practicality, but is also an important link in ensuring product safety and quality. Especially in terms of compressive performance, the reasonable design of the can structure directly affects the stability and reliability of cosmetic packaging during transportation, storage and consumer use.

The relationship between the shape of the can and the compressive performance is particularly important. Common cosmetic can shapes include round, square and oval, and each shape has its own advantages in compressive properties. The round can exhibits excellent compressive performance due to its uniform stress distribution. Under external pressure, the round can can effectively distribute the pressure evenly to the entire surface, reducing the risk of excessive pressure at a single point. In addition, the circular design is easy to stack and transport, and can effectively reduce the risk of damage caused by collision.

In comparison, the square can is more diverse in design, but may be slightly inferior in terms of compressive performance. Especially in its corners and edges, the square can is more susceptible to concentrated stress, resulting in deformation or breakage. Therefore, in the design process of the square can, special attention must be paid to the reinforcement of these vulnerable parts. The oval can body combines the advantages of round and square can bodies, has a certain degree of pressure resistance, and is also easy to stack and transport. However, the design of the oval can body is relatively complex, and the ratio of its major axis to minor axis needs to be accurately calculated to ensure the best pressure resistance.

The wall thickness of the can body is also a key factor affecting the pressure resistance. Too thin a wall thickness may cause the can body to deform or rupture under external pressure, while too thick a wall thickness may increase production costs and affect the aesthetics and portability of the product. Therefore, the optimization design of the wall thickness is crucial. During the design process, it is necessary to determine the optimal wall thickness through calculation and testing, taking into account the density of the cosmetics, the size and shape of the can body, and the expected transportation and storage conditions. By reasonably optimizing the wall thickness, the pressure resistance can be ensured while taking into account the production cost and appearance design.

In addition, the uniformity of the wall thickness is equally important. Uneven wall thickness may cause stress concentration under external pressure, increasing the risk of deformation or rupture of the can body. Therefore, the uniformity of the wall thickness must be strictly controlled during the manufacturing process to ensure the overall performance of the product.

The manufacturing process also has a direct impact on the pressure resistance of the can body. Advanced manufacturing processes can ensure the consistency of the can body in terms of dimensional accuracy, wall thickness uniformity and surface quality, thereby significantly improving its compressive resistance. Modern molding technologies, such as injection molding and blow molding, can ensure the dimensional accuracy and wall thickness uniformity of the can body. These technologies can accurately control the shape and size of the can body, thereby improving its compressive resistance.
