In many ways, brushed aluminum cosmetic bottles combine the best of both worlds. With brushed aluminum bottles, you can achieve the upscale elegance of glass containers, with the durability of plastic containers. Brushed aluminum cosmetic bottles are coated internally with an epoxy finish to keep the bottles from reacting with their contents. The brushed exterior makes it easy to apply labels. Brushed aluminum cosmetic bottles are opaque, which keeps harmful UV rays from affecting the contents of the bottle. They are also non magnetic, they don’t break, and they don’t rust. Brushed aluminum bottles are great for packaging men’s shaving sets, foot care products, baby care products, and many other types of personal care products.

Adding a tiny pressed flower to your packaging is a nice way to dress up your cosmetic products. Here are some ideas for adding pressed flowers to your packaging:

1. Glue a tiny pressed flower on your hang tags, soap labels and self adhesive labels.

2. Decorate the edge or lid of a powder box with pressed flowers. Glue several flowers around the rim of the powder box or glue them in a pattern on the lid of the powder box. Seal with Mod Podge® or a similar substance.

3. Attach a tiny pressed flower to a bar of soap. To do this you will need to prepare the surface of your soap by applying a tiny bit of melted paraffin wax on your soap over the area where you want to put the flower. Put the flower in this area. Seal the flower with additional melted paraffin wax.

Labels are one of the most important parts of any cosmetics package. They tell consumers what is in the package and they create an image for you and your products. If you are looking for ways to improve your labels, here are some ideas:

Make Your Labels Waterproof: If you have ever made labels with an inkjet printer, only to get them smeared with water, you know how frustrating this can be. There are three ways to prevent this:
Use waterproof inkjet labels.
Use a laser printer instead of an inkjet printer for your labels.
Make your labels waterproof yourself by using clear varnish (available at craft shops).

Have A Nice Logo Designed For Your Company: If you don’t already have one, get a nice logo designed for your labels. Having a nice logo that appears on your labels, as well as your other company materials, will help customers to remember you.

Turn Your Labels Into A Mini-Catalog: Be sure to let customers know where they can purchase more of your products. Include your website address, and your mailing address on your labels.

Print Your Labels In Color: Color labels draw attention to your products. The cheapest way to get high quality color labels is to print them yourself using a color laser printer.

Order Short Run Production Labels. If you do not have the time, or inclination, to bother with creating your own labels, contact a short-run production label specialist and have the job done for you.

Many kinds of plastics are used to create cosmetic bottles and jars. Plastic bottles and jars have many advantages over other types of containers. They are lightweight, they are resistant to most chemicals, most types are shatterproof, and they are inexpensive. Plastic bottles and jars can be clear, or opaque. They can be made to look upscale, or dressed down for a more casual look. Although many different types of plastics are used to make cosmetic containers the four most common are: low density polyethylene (LDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene terephthalate G Copolymer (PET and PETG). LDPE and HDPE are flexible and good for use in squeeze applications (thick lotions for example). PET, PETG, and PP plastics are clear and rigid, and can be used in applications where the product is meant to be on display.
