Explore our leading plastic-free and hybrid packaging designs engineered specifically for cosmetics branding.
The global cosmetics industry is undergoing a profound paradigm shift. For decades, plastics like PMMA, SAN, ABS, and PP dominated makeup packaging due to their durability, transparency, and low cost. However, as consumers increasingly demand sustainability and regulatory bodies introduce strict plastic reduction mandates, the beauty market is turning toward plastic-free alternatives. Among all categories, loose powder packaging represents one of the most challenging yet commercially rewarding frontiers for plastic-free transition.
Loose powders—including setting powders, mineral foundations, blushes, and dry shampoos—require highly specialized packaging structures. The packaging must prevent product leakage, shield the formula from humidity, and offer a seamless dispensing mechanism (sifter) without relying on traditional single-use plastic components. Nextruct is at the forefront of this structural revolution, engineering high-performance fiber-based containers that deliver premium functionality without compromising on environmental values.
Nextruct (formerly Toprint) is a Guangdong-based, China-based one-stop sustainable packaging solutions provider, driven by structural innovation. With 14 years of deep industry experience, we focus on the research and development of paper-based structures and the integration of sustainable materials, providing high-value, environmentally friendly packaging solutions for global makeup, personal care, and wellness brands.
We believe that packaging should not only protect the product but also protect the planet. Through our proprietary paper-based patented technology, combining recyclable glass and recycled plastics, Nextruct enables truly viable sustainable brand upgrades without compromising functionality, strength, or commercial viability.
How Nextruct resolves the technical challenges of paper-based cosmetics packaging.
Traditional loose powder jars rely on plastic mesh or molded plastic sifters to control product flow. Nextruct has engineered custom-cut, biodegradable paper sifters and rotating paper closures that offer the same precise dispensing without any plastic components.
Powder formulas are highly sensitive to humidity, which causes clumping. Our containers utilize plant-based, food-grade PLA or water-based barrier coatings inside the fiber walls, ensuring complete moisture and oil resistance while remaining fully recyclable.
To prevent powder leakage during transit, Nextruct designs high-precision, friction-fit lids and screw-thread paper caps. Through rigorous testing, we ensure the fit remains tight even after repeated consumer use, preserving product integrity.
At Nextruct, we don't just manufacture packaging; we engineer solutions. Our R&D team continuously pushes the boundaries of what fiber and paper materials can achieve in the cosmetic industry.
Modern consumers view packaging as a direct reflection of a brand's values. Transitioning to plastic-free loose powder packaging is no longer just a regulatory checkbox; it is a powerful branding tool. Nextruct's paper-based packaging offers a warm, tactile, and premium "eco-luxury" feel that plastic simply cannot replicate. The natural texture of high-quality paperboard communicates authenticity, care, and quality at first touch.
Furthermore, paper-based packaging provides an exceptional canvas for branding. From soy-based ink printing and hot stamping to embossing and debossing, brands can achieve sophisticated, high-end aesthetics. Whether your brand identity is minimalist, vibrant, or clinical, our structural designs can be customized to match your exact visual language, helping you stand out on retail shelves and across social media unboxing videos.
By replacing plastic jars with custom-engineered paper containers, brands can actively reduce their carbon footprint, appeal to the rapidly growing demographic of eco-conscious consumers, and build long-term brand loyalty.
