Constructing Cosmetic Packaging Box: Features of Cosmetic Box Design

One significant type of cosmetic packaging box is carton packaging. Cosmetic cartons are not processed to a very high degree of centralization for carton processing businesses. Several varieties and quick iterative renewal are two of the main characteristics of cosmetic businesses. The bar set for businesses that process cartons is not very high. The majority of carton processing businesses are capable of manufacturing and producing cartons, but few of them specialize in the creation of cosmetic cartons due to the strict post-printing requirements. It is advised to select reputable manufacturers. Every significant cosmetics company has its traits. As a result, to perform well on cosmetics cartons, we must first comprehend the traits and specifications of the industry.

Common features

Every industry has to have some things in common, and the cosmetics sector is no different. The following enumerates the shared traits of Estee Lauder, L'Oreal, and Dior cosmetics cartons.

(1) Cosmetic cartons have a simple, elegant design without any frills. Usually, only two to four colors are needed to print on the carton's surface, and printing is not difficult. Cosmetic cartons therefore don't require a lot of printing equipment to be processed, and even financially fragile carton processing companies can process cosmetic cartons.

(2) Cosmetic cartons require strict environmental temperature and humidity control. As a result, stringent controls are needed for the water content of cosmetic cartons, the starch content of mold and glue, and the content of some hazardous materials.

(3) Post-press processing is very demanding for cosmetic cartons.

(4) Relevant standards are strictly and firmly implemented in cosmetic cartons.

Different features

The specifications that various cosmetic companies have for their cosmetic cartons vary. As a result, their makeup cartons have unique qualities, which are primarily evident in the next two areas.

1. Paper selection:

(1) The Estee Lauder cosmetics carton uses silver and gold card paper, both of which are challenging to print on. Better printing quality can only be achieved with a UV printing machine.

(2) The Dior cosmetics carton is made of special paper that is easy to print on. A standard printing machine can guarantee the quality of the print as well, so a UV printer is not required.

(3) There are no particular specifications for the paper choice on the L'Oreal cosmetic carton. It is possible to use special paper and double powder paper.

2. Post-press processing challenges

(1) Estee Lauder cosmetics cartons frequently experience one or two post-press processing issues. Despite the straightforward design of the chosen lid and bottom box type, the printing patterns on the cartons must be connected and aligned on several sides. Moreover, it necessitates technically challenging large-scale concave alignment. This processing capability is not available to general carton processing companies. Furthermore, many carton processing companies find it challenging to apply anti-scratch coatings to the surface of gold and silver card paper.

(2) Dior cosmetic cartons do not present any unique challenges during post-press processing; however because they are made of special paper, which has a high rate of expansion and is not protected on the surface, alignment during carton construction as well as finishing and glue wiping afterward present significant challenges.

(3) The L'Oreal cosmetic carton post-press processing is a challenging process.

3. Effective preventative strategies

Depending on which customers have chosen different paper materials, carton processing companies should use different quality prevention techniques when creating cosmetics cartons for brands like Dior, L'Oreal, and Estee Lauder.

Cosmetic carton by Estee Lauder

The yield of cartons in typical carton processing businesses is extremely low, and Estee Lauder cosmetic cartons must meet extremely strict quality standards. "No diamond, no porcelain work" is advised. Before accepting orders, carton processing companies should thoroughly and impartially assess their level of processing capability. Even large-scale carton processing companies should thoroughly assess the potential risks associated with each process and take effective preventative measures. It's important to note that Estee Lauder allows film coating treatment to be applied to cosmetic carton surfaces. This allows carton processing businesses to set aside improvement space to prevent surface scratches.

Here, a material is suggested to stop scratches on the cosmetic carton's surface. When covering the film, you can choose between the light film and the scratch-resistant sub-film. This scratch-resistant film costs roughly ten times as much as regular film, but its scratch resistance is at least ten times greater.

Carton of Dior cosmetics

Dior cosmetic packaging must meet extremely strict standards of quality. When making decisions, the following things need to be considered.

(1) To improve the bonding effect, choose a glue with a high solid content, appropriately increase the glue's bonding force, and apply a thinner layer of glue. The best way to lessen the phenomenon of glue overflow on equipment is to install an anti-overflow system.

(2) Assign experienced workers to production tasks and mandate that they follow a set of procedures to attain one-time arrival and lower the likelihood that workers will pause and wipe glue during the carton-making process.

(3) Measuring the rate at which the paper expands after absorbing glue, adjusting the appropriate knife die by the expansion rate when cutting face paper, and compensating for the expansion deformation of the paper are all necessary during the proofing process.

(4) Regulate the workshop's humidity and temperature. Every procedure has a humidification link installed to maintain a relatively constant humidity level throughout the production line, preventing the paper from expanding and deforming.
