Many perfume bottle caps are available nowadays, which is a blessing for cosmetic companies. Perfume bottle caps are available in various designs, materials, decorations, and accessories. Personalized packaging can also be designed; throughout history, perfume bottle caps have changed many times.
The History of Perfume Bottle Caps
The history of perfume bottle caps can be traced back to the birth of liquid perfumes, which always needed to be sealed if you wanted to keep the fragrance fresh and take full advantage of the value of the scent. Covering a perfume bottle with a cloth dipped at one end means that the scent will be transmitted by the substance outside the bottle and slowly spread in all directions.
Over the centuries, perfume bottle covers had evolved from simple caps to a cork, like the cork in a catcher’s wine bag, when the cork solution to sealing was waxing, which provided additional protection for the cork.
This method of sealing perfume bottles still exists even in the present era, but now there are more options for perfume bottle caps.
Plastic Perfume Bottle Caps
Most perfume bottle caps today are made from a variety of plastics. The only variables here are the material used, the color, the ornamentation, and the accessories. This solution is often used for perfume bottle caps made from polypropylene or other materials with less attractive natural colors.
Transparent perfume caps
Perfume bottle caps are entirely transparent thanks to the transparent material Surlyn, which can become partially colored or fully colored by adding the right amount of dye. Colored solutions that maintain transparency are top-rated in perfume packaging. It is not uncommon for the color of a transparent cap to match the color of the liquid in the bottle.
Surlyn clear caps are known for their high durability, almost crystalline reflection and light scattering, and consistency in appearance with glass bottles. Surlyn has several advantages over glass – it is warm and comfortable to the touch and does not break.
Metalized Perfume Caps
Metallization of perfume caps and cosmetic packaging is coating the product with a layer of aluminum. To enter the metallization process, the product must first pass through a paint line, on which a primer is applied. Thanks to the vacuum, the product can be evenly coated with a thin layer of aluminum, which is introduced into the metallizer in small spiral wires. After this process, the details are returned to the lacquer coating line, which is covered with another layer of varnish. This process arrangement provides the final product’s highest durability and the best visual effect.
Also, more and more concepts are now appearing on perfume bottle caps, such as leather elements and ribbons, applying hot stamping patterns, or creating labels with brand logos.
