How to choose the packaging material for your perfume bottle?

1. First determine the main material of the bottle according to the formula of the perfume interior (the most important thing)
High-alcohol perfume and high fragrance concentration (EDP/Parfum)
Priority: high borosilicate glass, alumina liner containers
Reason: Chemically stable, does not react with alcohol or fragrance, will not carry odor or change color; brown/black glass can protect against light and oxidation.
Avoid: Ordinary PET and ABS plastics will be corroded by high alcohol, causing odor and deterioration of the material after long-term storage.
Eau de Toilette, portable sample (EDT, portable fragrance)
Optional: thickened PP, food grade PET, acrylic
Advantages: lightweight, anti-fall, low cost; only suitable for small-capacity products that will be used up within a short period of 3–6 months.
Limitations: Poor light transmission and barrier, not suitable for long-term storage.
Oil-based perfume, essential oil fragrance
Priority: glass, pure aluminum containers
Avoid: soft PE plastic, grease will swell the plastic and release harmful substances.
Aerosol deodorant spray
You can only choose: pressure-resistant aluminum aerosol cans. Plastic cannot withstand the air pressure in the can, and there is a risk of explosion and leakage.
2. Select texture materials according to brand positioning and pricing
