Glass Bottle or Plastic Bottle, Which One is More Suitable for Your Perfume Use?
For a perfume bottle, the body is the soul; the material determines the quality, and the color guarantees the beauty of the appearance. There are a variety of materials used for perfume containers, including glass and plastic. But which one is better for perfume? We will discuss it in the rest of this article.


Soda-lime glass is considered to be a common material for all kinds of perfume bottles because perfume bottles made of this glass are of high quality and have few visible air bubbles and stones.

Bubbles added as decorative effects are not on its list. In addition to the function of the container, this high-transparency glass perfume bottle can clearly display the color of the perfume, thereby attracting the attention of consumers. For example, clear and transparent fragrances are usually associated with the high end, while back-to-nature people prefer buff or green fragrances because of their strong natural feel.

The clear glass perfume spray bottle enables these target customers to quickly and accurately find their favorite fragrance color, thereby stimulating their desire to buy.

Although most modern perfume bottles use soda lime glass as the main material, there are also a few high-end perfume bottles made of lead crystal glass. In addition to considering the material of the perfume bottle, modern perfume bottle designers also focus on the shape, color, and decoration of the perfume bottle, so that the glass perfume bottle can not only please the user but also can be used as a room decoration.

Colorful glass perfume bottles are also an option for designers who can innovate the bottle with a variety of rainbow colors to their liking.

Plastic perfume bottle

Plastic perfume bottles are not mainstream in the perfume packaging market, but they have an overwhelming advantage over other perfume bottles. First of all, plastic perfume bottles are cheaper than metal, crystal, and glass perfume bottles, which has obvious appeal to low and medium perfume packaging manufacturers. Second, it is not easy to break during transportation. Finally, the blow molding process makes the appearance of plastic perfume bottles more diverse.

Plastic perfume bottles should be sturdy and beautiful enough. The most common shapes of plastic bottles are round, square, oval, etc. Egg-shaped plastic perfume bottles are tougher, but the molds are more expensive to manufacture. In addition to the selection of materials with high rigidity, the bearing strength and rigidity of plastic perfume bottles can also be considered in the shape design. In addition, when designing the bottle, additional functions such as anti-counterfeiting, anti-theft, anti-clogging, spraying, etc. can be added to the sealing device. From a usage point of view, a plastic bottle should be user-friendly. The bottle mouth should be designed to facilitate multiple operations to open and close.

Compare

From the perspective of cost and molding difficulty, the unit price of plastic bottles is much lower than that of glass bottles, and it is easier to form complex bottle shapes and fine patterns. But plastic bottles cost twice as much to open as glass bottles and are only suitable for mass production.

From a perfume storage perspective, perfumes are usually packaged in glass perfume bottles. It's not a good idea to put them in plastic bottles, because polyethylene and PET, the main components of plastic perfume bottles, dissolve in the alcohol contained in the perfume, resulting in the destruction of the aroma. In severe cases, it can cause skin allergies. If stored in a plastic perfume bottle for a long time, the alcohol will gradually evaporate or react with the plastic. As a result, the quality of the fragrance can be reduced.

Main difference

Different properties: plastics are polymer synthetic materials, and there are many kinds. Glass bottles with metal ion colorants can be made into emerald green, dark green, light cyan, amber glass, and other colors.

Different characteristics: Glass perfume bottles are traditional perfume packaging materials, which are bright, transparent, airtight, and easy to form. Good chemical stability, but too heavy and easy to break. Plastic bottles are lightweight and easy to store, transport, carry and use.

Different advantages: Glass perfume bottles have good sealing and stable chemical properties. It is ideal for perfume packaging because its high-quality raw materials can effectively guarantee the quality of the perfume. The plastic bottle has good air permeability, good sealing, and high transparency. Ideal for storing mild makeup or skin care products.
