Glass: Extremely high transparency, strong texture; fragile, heavy, difficult to process (difficult to form complex shapes)

Ordinary Plastics (PP/PE): Low cost, lightweight; poor transparency, cheap texture, easily deformed

Acrylic (PMMA): Balance of texture, safety, and durability; easily deformed at high temperatures (production/use temperature must be controlled <60℃)

Acrylic jars offer a high-end feel: High transparency (close to glass), allowing for diverse appearances through frosting, electroplating, and spray painting (e.g., matte black, gradient gold, frosted white), matching the brand image of high-end skincare products; High safety: High chemical stability, does not react with oils, active ingredients, or preservatives in skincare products, and no harmful substances are released (meets food-grade/cosmetic-grade standards); Superior durability: Impact resistance is 2-3 times that of glass, less prone to breakage (reducing breakage rate during transportation/use), and its weight is only a fraction of glass. Half the size, offering enhanced portability; Excellent processability: Can be injection molded into various shapes (round, square, diamond, irregular shapes), and paired with different pump heads (press type, spiral type, vacuum press pump) to meet diverse design needs.

The core value of high-end acrylic cream and lotion jars lies in the dual empowerment of "material texture + vacuum technology": achieving a balance between high-end visual appeal and safety and durability through acrylic material, and achieving product preservation and precise liquid dispensing through a vacuum negative pressure structure, ultimately adapting to the brand positioning, ingredient requirements, and user experience of high-end skincare products. Its essence is "using structural sealing to isolate air, and using material upgrades to enhance texture," making it the mainstream packaging choice for high-end beauty e-commerce and offline counters.
