What size of packaging is normally used?
The packaging is designed to
effectively contain and transport Avient liquid
colors and additives.
PlanetPak containers are available in a range
of sizes either for use with the FlexCart or as
standalone packaging for customers’ orders.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-02/ColorMatrix Triple A Brochure.pdf
Once bottles are
blown and filled, AA can migrate from
container walls into its contents,
giving an undesirable taste and odor
to the packaged product.
Triple A can help to
ensure consistent and reliable control
of AA levels and as a result is important
in reducing brand risk for products
packaged in PET.
Triple A™ offers a cost-
effective and reliable
solution for reducing
and controlling AA
levels which can cause
off-taste in products
packaged in PET.

Both
UV390 and UV390R
technologies can be
particularly effective
in working towards
lighter, more recyclable
packaging, alongside
potential productivity
benefits and maintaining
product protection.
In some situations the Ultimate UV
range can vastly improve both the processing
and mechanical properties of packaging
incorporating recycled material.
UV light can cause reactions in UV sensitive
food and beverages that result in changes in
taste, odor and texture, as well as degrading
colored dyes and pigments in plastic
packaging.

PACKAGING
Functionality and differentiation are key when designing cosmetic packaging.
Chemical compatibility of the
packaging materials is equally important.
Without compatibility, your packaging can discolor, etch, crack or
delaminate when in direct contact with cosmetic ingredients.
