Product

- Supply: on rolls for your labelling machine
Applications
Which products and containers?
Product groups
Skin care, hair care, shower and bath products, perfume, decorative cosmetics, natural cosmetics and sun care. Each group has different requirements: shower gel stands in water, sun care contains oils, perfume contains alcohol.
Containers
Jars and pots, tubes, pump bottles and dispensers, glass flacons and ampoules, as well as samples and travel sizes. The smaller the container, the more format, radius and legibility of the type matter.
For brands, private labels and contract manufacturers
Brand manufacturers run lines across many varieties and sizes. Retail private labels and contract manufacturers often need the same container with changing designs. Digital printing produces such variants in short runs.
Labelling
Mandatory information on a small area
The EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires on the packaging, among other things, the name and address of the company in the EU, nominal content, the date of minimum durability or the period after opening (PAO symbol with number of months), batch number, function, warnings and the ingredients in INCI names.
If the area is not large enough, the regulation allows information to be given on an enclosed label or leaflet. A booklet or multilayer label keeps this information directly on the container.
Selection guide
Which version fits?
| Container and use | Version | What matters |
|---|---|---|
| Jar or rigid pot | paper or film with finishing | use lid area and curve |
| Pump bottle or dispenser | film with protective varnish | hand contact and escaping product |
| Tube or squeeze bottle | flexible film | label moves when squeezed |
| Transparent container | transparent film with opaque white | contents show through, colours stay strong |
| Shower and bath | film with protective varnish | water, steam and drying phases |
| Many languages | booklet or multilayer label | room for INCI list and translations |
Resistance
Oil, water and alcohol
Not every cosmetics label has to resist everything. A face cream label deals with fingers and cream, a shower gel label with water and steam, a perfume label with alcohol. The better the formula and use are known, the more precisely material, varnish and adhesive can be chosen. A sample on the original container shows the result.
For regular contact with oil, see the oil and grease resistant labels page, for water and wet conditions the waterproof labels page.
