What are cosmetic containers?

Cosmetic containers are small and medium-sized cosmo jars that are used to hold beauty and health products such as makeup, lotions, cremes, balms, and hair wax. Generally speaking, they come with small content volumes ranging from 5ml to 150ml with exceptions going up to 250ml or even 500ml. The cosmetics industry is often seen as a premium and high-end business. As such, cosmetic jars usually feature a sleek and elegant design. This makes them not only convenient to use, but also attractive to look at.

Today’s cosmetic containers can be made from virtually any material. Hereby you can think about aluminum, ceramic vials, plastic, glass, or even metal tins. By far the most popular cosmetic jars are those made from plastic and glass. Whereas plastic is cheap and tough, glass cosmetic jars are beautiful and elegant. As such, the latter category is mostly used for premium cosmetics and personal care products whereas the plastic variants are used for mass-production and cheaper goods.

Glass cosmetic jars generally feature a crystal clear body which makes them perfect for showing off colorful makeup such as eyeshadow, toners, powders, or lip balms. Nevertheless, they are also available with a matte finish or even with a colorful body. Because the appearance of glass can be easily modified, cosmetic containers can be delivered in any color imaginable. At uCan-Packaging, we can deliver your glass cosmetic jars in any color of the rainbow.

Cosmetic jars come in all sorts and sizes. The standard model, however, normally features a round shape and comes with a convenient screw-top lid. These caps make your refillable container easy to open and close numerous times. This allows the consumer to reuse the packaging over and over again without losing quality. Thanks to their small size, convenient lids, and beautiful appearance - glass cosmetic jars with lids are the number one choice of packaging for makeup companies around the globe.

What are the different types of cosmetic jars?

Like any packaging material, cosmetic jars come in a wide range of different shapes, sizes, and models. Depending on the quality of the container, different materials can be used. The cheaper mass-production models and tins are usually crafted out of plastic or aluminum. These refillable makeup containers are popular as they are highly affordable and can be used for bulk storage options. As such, they are often used for low and medium-class items such as the ones we find in the personal health section of our local supermarket.

Besides the cheap cosmetic jars made from metal or plastic, there are more premium versions available. These containers, mostly used for branded makeup, are commonly crafted out of ceramics or glass. Both materials look stunning and certainly make your goods look more attractive in the eyes of your customers. Among these two options, the glass cosmetic containers are by far the more popular choice. Thanks to their crystal clear look and strong thick-based bottom, they offer an attractive and safe packaging for branded personal care products.

Why glass cosmetic jars?

Throughout the previous chapters, it became clear that cosmetic jars can be made from several different materials. Depending on the quality and brand appearance of the product, companies tend to either choose cheap plastic or aluminum tins or high-end ceramic or glass cosmetic jars. Each type of container has its own set of benefits for both the producer and consumer. This might make you wonder why one is better than the other. Below, we have listed down the most important points on which glass makeup jars outperform other, cheaper, containers made from a different material.

Durability: Glass cosmetic jars are called heavy base jars for a reason. These leakproof makeup containers have been crafted out of thick and tough glass. As such, they are extremely tough. You won’t have to worry about accidentally breaking these beauties when they drop from your purse. Unlike the cheaper alternatives made from plastic, metal, or ceramics - glass cosmetic jars rarely break or crack.

Transparent: The transparency of these containers is its main selling point when it comes to appearance. Thanks to their ultra-clear body, these cosmo jars are great for displaying colorful items such as eyeliners, powders, and lip gloss. As a result, your goods will be eye-catching and stand out from the crowd - making them more attractive to the end-user.

Stylish: Whereas cheap makeup packaging comes in a boring and plain looking tin, these glass cosmetic jars feature a high-end and premium look. Glassware always has an appealing look and simply appears more attractive and expensive to the eye. This treats you to an easy way to make your product stand out and look more attractive in the eyes of the customer.

Safe: Many of us may not know it, but glass is a completely natural material. Glassware, in general, does not contain any chemicals or any other substances which may be harmful to your health. Our glass cosmetic containers are completely food-safe and BPA free. Glass packaging is one of the only wrapping available that is rated 100% safe by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Therefore, you won’t have to worry when using these cosmo jars for storing your makeup products.

Environmentally friendly: Because glass is a natural substance, it is one of the most environmentally friendly materials used for packaging. It is clean to produce and fully recyclable. Thanks to their convenient lids and refillable design, they can furthermore be reused unlimited times. As a result, glass wrappings are in high demand among green companies anywhere in the world.

Customizable: Besides appearance, durability, and sustainability, glass brings along one more major advantage over other types of wrappings. Glass cosmetic jars are fully customizable.
