PET Bottles – Ideal for Transparent, Lightweight, Retail-Ready Packaging

PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is one of the most widely used plastics for cosmetic and personal care bottles globally. According to Statista, over 60% of personal care packaging in Asia now uses PET due to its premium appearance and lightweight properties.


Why choose PET?

Crystal clear transparency for showcasing colorful formulas like toners, serums, and gels

Lightweight and cost-effective for export and retail

Good barrier properties against moisture and oxygen

100% recyclable (Resin code #1) and widely supported by global recycling systems

HDPE Bottles – Durable, Chemical-Resistant, and Opaque

HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) is widely recognized for its strength and chemical resistance, often used in cleaning products, shampoos, and sanitizers.

According to Mordor Intelligence, HDPE bottles make up nearly 20% of all rigid plastic packaging due to their toughness and compatibility with aggressive or alcohol-based formulas.


Why choose HDPE?

High impact resistance – won’t easily crack or shatter

Opaque surface protects light-sensitive ingredients

Suitable for high-viscosity liquids like shampoo, creams, or disinfectants

Excellent chemical compatibility and FDA-compliant for food and pharma use


Keyuan’s HDPE Offerings:

Our HDPE bottles are available in multiple styles with wide compatibility for pumps and caps.

Best-selling models include:

250ml White HDPE Pump Bottle – Ideal for lotion, shampoo, and body wash

PP Bottles – Heat-Resistant and Perfect for Airless Systems

PP (Polypropylene) is known for thermal resistance and mechanical strength, making it ideal for airless packaging systems, serum pumps, and cream jars. Its popularity in high-end skincare has grown in recent years, particularly in airless technology, which helps preserve sensitive ingredients.


Why choose PP?

Resists heat up to 120°C, suitable for hot-fill and autoclave applications

Used in high-precision parts like pumps, closures, and airless containers

Non-reactive and safe for active ingredients

Compatible with matte surface finishes for a premium look


Keyuan’s PP Packaging:
