Guide to the Best Aerosol Packaging

The development of aerosol packaging has gone through 82 years of development history from 1942 to 2024. The first aerosol cans were produced to protect American soldiers from insect bites, which would lead to malaria and other diseases caused by mosquito bites. Since then, the packaging of aerosols has also developed rapidly into personal care, home care, car care and other industries. Products are spread all over the world.

Packaging requirements for aerosols

The process of making aerosol packaging from production to the hands of users is very rigorous. This process includes:

• Material selection: The first condition for aerosol packaging is that it must have high-quality sealing and anti-corrosion properties. Therefore, manufacturers usually use tin, aluminum or degradable plastics as materials. These three materials are usually used on the market. The aerosol cans are usually reusable or recyclable.
• Sealing and anti-corrosion: ensure that the aerosol product will not leak and the product will not react with the aerosol packaging material to cause the product to deteriorate.
• Spray performance: When users use aerosol products, the liquid sprayed out can be sprayed normally without clogging or uneven spraying.
• Labels and instructions: According to the aerosol products in different industries, instructions on the aerosol packaging are required, including instructions for use, aerosol ingredients, storage methods, etc., so that users can clearly understand the relevant information of the aerosol to prevent accidents.
• Safety: Aerosol packaging needs to undergo strict quality inspection by the aerosol can manufacturer before leaving the factory, including the quality of packaging materials, sealing, rubber gaskets and other integrity to prevent user accidents

Aerosol packaging considerations

Since the needs of different aerosol industries are different, users need to determine the size and basic color of the container based on the product. It is important to determine the size and basic color of the container. The size range of aerosol cans is usually 35mm-70mm in diameter and 70mm-265mm in height. The most common opening in the top of a jar is one inch. As for primer color options, there are two, white or clear.

Therefore, you need to consider whether the product meets BPA standards according to the packaging and sales location of the product. If your product does not contain any BPA, your product will become more and more popular in other countries and regions.
