KRAIBURG TPE, a global TPE manufacturer of thermoplastic elastomer products and custom engineered TPE solutions, offers THERMOLAST® K for cosmetic and fragrance packaging applications
FC/AD/PP series compounds.
Fragrances are in high demand due to the complex interplay of cultural, social, personal and emotional factors, reflecting the importance of fragrance in our daily lives. Fragrance has been associated with luxury, status and beauty for centuries.
The scent of a perfume can help paint your unique personality, leaving a beautiful and long-lasting impression. It also helps boost confidence, boost mood, and even trigger happy memories. Certain scents may even have positive effects on the mind and body.
A well-designed fragrance packaging can communicate a fragrance’s identity, establish brand identity, and provide product differentiation.
Therefore, packaging designers attach great importance to the raw materials of product packaging, and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is one of the ideal material solutions, which can help designers highlight and improve the overall design and touch of product packaging.
TPE materials are characterized by design flexibility, exhibit a smooth and soft surface feel, and have low density. They are also colorable, and the materials meet safety standards, offering several advantages to designers and OEMs.
KRAIBURG TPE can provide customized TPE solutions and recommend suitable TPE solutions for cosmetic and fragrance packaging applications.
