Material & Biodegradability | Eco-conscious packaging for cosmetics, food, and household products | PE (polyethylene) with TÜV AUSTRIA OK COMPOST INDUSTRIAL certification (breaks down in 180 days) ▲ (vs. non-biodegradable LDPE) | Reduces environmental impact; compliant with industrial composting standards. | Higher cost than conventional plastics; requires specific disposal facilities. |
Certifications & Compliance | International markets requiring EPR and FDA compliance | EPR France/Germany + U.S. FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 ▲ (Advanced tier adds EU REACH SVHC compliance) | Wider market access; meets regulatory requirements for food and cosmetics. | Certification costs increase production expenses. |
Sealing Mechanism | Retail packaging for resealable products (e.g., powders, toiletries) | Zipper top with 10,000+ open/close cycles (ASTM D3417) ▲ (Advanced: 15,000 cycles) | Enhanced user convenience and product freshness retention. | Slightly thicker material may limit flexibility in tight spaces. |
Moisture Resistance | Moisture-sensitive items (e.g., loose powder, skincare) | MVTR < 0.5 g/m²/day (ISO 2528) ▲ (Advanced: <0.3 g/m²/day) | Protects contents from humidity degradation. | Lower MVTR requires thicker material, increasing cost. |
Printing & Aesthetics | Premium branding for cosmetics, perfumes, and luxury goods | Gravure printing at 1200 dpi (ISO 12647-7) ▲ (vs. 600 dpi in industry standard) | High-resolution graphics for standout branding. | More expensive than standard printing methods. |
Reusability & Durability | Travel, household storage, or multi-use packaging | Reusable up to 50 washes (AATCC TM16) ▲ (Advanced: 100 washes) | Cost-effective long-term use; reduces single-use waste. | Reusable feature may deter single-use markets. |
