Skincare products, makeup, perfumes… whatever product it may be, quality must always be high in the cosmetics industry. It goes without saying that quality is paramount in the development and composition of the products, but the influence of transport packaging on the products is much less visible. In this blog, we explain why choosing the right packaging makes the difference for the quality of cosmetic products.
protection from the source
Cosmetic products consist of vulnerable ingredients. Powders, oils, creams, and perfume base materials are extremely sensitive to external influences. Therefore, sturdy, reliable packaging is of great importance. Moisture, dust, temperature fluctuations, or damage during transport can directly affect the quality of the final product. When products are transported well-protected, this prevents them from becoming unusable after transport.
hygienic and safe transport
The cosmetics sector imposes strict requirements on hygiene and product safety. Clean production, sealed transport, and the use of inliners are some of the requirements for packaging of cosmetic products, because these measures affect the quality of the products. It is therefore important that the type of packaging is suitable for the product in question.
In addition, various European regulations apply to cosmetic products, such as Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009. This sets requirements for packaging in terms of safety, mandatory product information, and labeling. These requirements apply to both product packaging and transport packaging. With this regulation, the EU aims to guarantee the safety of cosmetic products.
the quality of cardboard
By now it is clear that choosing the right packaging makes a big difference for the quality of cosmetic products. The square cardboard drums from Carré Karton are a reliable and favorable choice for transporting cosmetic products. These drums offer many advantages:
- Our Square Drums are made of 100% mono-material Kraftliner, which is easy to recycle with waste paper. The raw material Kraftliner makes the Square Drum not only environmentally friendly, but also CO2-neutral and bio-based. This even allows you to comply with the most recent sustainability laws.
- We work with LDPE inliners that protect your cosmetic products against direct contact with the cardboard. Powders and other raw materials remain protected against contamination and moisture in this way.
- We use optional seals with a unique code. This keeps your products safe and traceable during transport and storage.
- Barcodes, QR codes, and other mandatory labels are easy to place on the outside of the drums.
- We can print the drums with a logo or text if desired to consistently communicate your brand identity.
- Traditional round drums result in significant space loss. With the square shape, you gain a lot of space because you can transport proportionally much more content. They are also lightweight and easy to stack.
the Square Drum: safety for quality
Choosing the right transport packaging is therefore crucial to keep the quality of your cosmetic products optimal. With all the advantages of the Square Drum, your cosmetic products remain of optimal quality, you benefit from logistical cost savings, and you contribute to a sustainable future.
