In an era where “appearance is justice”, cosmetic packaging pouches must not only be attractive but also lightweight, economical, shatter-resistant, and easy to restock. Starting in 2024, giants like Shiseido, SK-II, L’Oréal, Unilever, PROYA, and Winona have successively added “plastic soft packaging bags” to their new product lineups: 30ml essence spout bags, 50ml “Facial Treatment Essence” travel bags, 2ml zippered disposable bags. A dimensionality reduction attack from “glass bottles” to “soft bags” is taking place.

Four Key Strengths of the Cosmetic Packaging Pouch
Ease of Use
– Laser tear line: Tear open in 1 second, one-handed, no scissors required
– Resealable: 100 Velcro/zipper closures + vacuum-grade seal
– Precise dosage control: 0.2ml ultra-fine mist nozzle eliminates overfilling
Aesthetics
– 100% printing on all five sides, providing 30-40% more display space than glass Bottles
– Contoured contours + metallic/matte finish in one molding eliminate secondary hot stamping
Easy to Carry
– 80% lighter than the same capacity, the empty bag is only 1/10 the volume of a glass bottle when folded
– 0% drop resistance from a 1.2m drop Damaged bags can be thrown away in gym bags or carry-on luggage.
Total Cost
– Packaging: 30ml cosmetic packaging pouch (including spray nozzle) ≈ 0.18 yuan, glass bottles ≈ 0.55 yuan
– Logistics: 60,000-80,000 cosmetic packaging pouches per pallet, saving 40-60% on shipping costs
– Warehousing: Empty cosmetic packaging pouches can be folded, increasing warehouse utilization by 3-4 times, allowing for quick returns on small orders without any pressure.
Market Feedback and User Voice
- High-frequency keywords in Tmall comments: “light,” “convenient,” “shatterproof,” “travel essential”
- Offline BA feedback: New cosmetic packaging pouches catch people’s attention within 3 seconds of display, resulting in a 25% trial conversion rate.
概要
Environmental protection is just a bonus; the real killer is “lightness, beauty, convenience, and economy.” When big brands use flexible packaging pouch to reduce the volume of 30 ml essence from 65 g to 6 g and the price from 0.55 yuan to 0.18 yuan, cosmetic packaging pouches are no longer an “alternative solution” but the next default form.
