In addition to product upgrading and optimization, and fast service, cosmetics enterprises are becoming more and more important in packaging. Customized packaging can make consumers have a desire to buy, thus stimulating consumption. Therefore, in a society that looks at apperance, a good-looking package is indispensable. If you want to have a good sales volume in the market, you need not only your own product strength, but also a good packaging box to lay a foundation. The beautiful and exquisite cosmetic packaging box can really drive the sales of cosmetics.
It is very important for cosmetic packaging manufacturers to select good materials for packaging design. The common ones, such as the cover lifting box and the lid and base box, have certain requirements for the hardness of the material. If the cover or bottom of the outer packaging box is concave, it is very ugly, so the hardness and compression resistance of the paper are key. What are the specific materials? What are the characteristics of these materials? Let’s briefly introduce:
Gold and silver cardboard
The paper is firm, bright in color, smooth and dense in surface, poor in penetration and absorption of printing ink, but good in hot stamping, bumping, embossing and other processes. The box surface and lining of commonly used cosmetic packaging boxes and the cover of enterprise books and periodicals. The gold and silver cardboard is different from the white cardboard. The front of the gold and silver cardboard is gold or silver, and the back is white. Although the color of each batch is different, the error is allowed within a reasonable range. If you have strict requirements on color difference, you must first take the paper for comparison, or check whether it is feasible after proofing. General gold and silver cardboard is used more in hot stamping process, with strong metal effect.
White cardboard
It is firm and thick, with high stiffness, burst resistance and smoothness, and the paper surface is flat. The common thickness is 210g-400g, and the more used is 250g. The effect of white cardboard printing is full of color, and the paper texture is very good. It can be used as a single cosmetic box. That is, it can be printed normally or reverse UV. It is a common material for cosmetic packaging boxes of customized manufacturers. This material can ensure that the color does not fall off after surface processing because of its high color reproduction. If you like the design with a strong sense of art, you can choose the white cardboard material to make artistic sense, colorful printing colors, large areas of gold and silver color, silk screen UV to brighten the local and so on.
Black cardboard
The paper is delicate, transparent black, firm and thick, with good folding resistance, smooth surface, good tension, and high bursting resistance. The common thickness of 120g – 350g black cardboard is black inside and outside, so it cannot be printed with color patterns, and is only suitable for gold stamping, silver stamping, UV, etc.
Kraft paper
It has a very high tensile force, high strength, usually brown yellow, high tear resistance, rupture and dynamic strength, and is widely used in cosmetics, shopping bags, envelopes, etc. It is commonly used in 120g-300g natural color paper, suitable for printing monochrome or two-color and uncomplicated colors. The whiteness of white kraft paper is even whiter than that of white cardboard, and it does not need to be glued or oiled to keep the color from falling. Many small fresh cosmetics packaging boxes are made of white kraft paper. However, scalper is more suitable for retro packaging, and there are many kinds of kraft paper, each kind and each batch of kraft paper is different in color. If the company has special requirements on the paper color, it should try to avoid using kraft paper.
art paper
The paper surface is very smooth, white on both sides, high whiteness, and good gloss, which can make the printed graphics have a three-dimensional sense. The common thickness is 128g-300g. The printing effect of coated paper is the same as that of white card. The color is full and bright, and the stiffness is not as good as that of white card paper.
Specialty paper
The paper is flexible, with a variety of texture patterns and colorful colors. It is wear-resistant, antifouling, moisture-proof, moth proof, folding resistant, etc; It is used for gilding, silver stamping, concave convex, hot soldering and other processes, as well as the binding of books, picture albums, certificates and the decoration of the outside of brand cosmetics packaging boxes. As there are many kinds, you can find paper to test as required. For example, some papers have special lines, some papers are very bright and many other effects. If you simply select them, you may not get ideal results, so you can test them before manufacturing.
