Stick packaging solutions have risen as a significant trend in the personal care and beauty industries. Compact, convenient, and user-friendly, sticks have gained considerable popularity due to their versatile functionality and sustainability potential.

As beauty routines evolve to meet modern lifestyles, products that offer convenience without sacrificing quality are more important than ever. Stick formats meet the demand, offering a mess-free, precise application that’s ideal for busy users. Today, stick packaging is widely used for:

• Solid skincare products: Moisturizers, serums, and sunscreens are increasingly being offered in stick formats, allowing for quick, targeted application.
• Deodorants and antiperspirants: These essential hygiene products are a classic example of stick packaging, designed for direct, even coverage.
• Blush, highlighter, and foundation: Creamy makeup products, such as blushes and highlighters, are now offered in stick formats for seamless, blendable application.
• Skincare treatments: Targeted treatments, such as anti-acne products or spot correctors, can be packaged in stick form for precision and to avoid contamination.

Premium Pack's Sustainable Stick Packaging Solutions

OVAL STICKS

As sustainable legislation becomes a greater concern in the beauty industry, the demand for environmentally friendly packaging solutions has surged. Premium Pack addresses the growing need with its mono-material oval sticks, made entirely from polypropylene (PP). These sticks are designed to be easily recycled, and their mono-material construction simplifies the process.

Premium Pack’s sticks are available in three sizes—10g, 15g, and 20g—making them suitable for a variety of beauty and personal care products, from solid sunscreen to makeup and deodorant. These sticks can be customized and decorated through various techniques, allowing brands to create unique packaging that aligns with their aesthetic:

• Injection: This process embeds color directly into the packaging during the injection molding process, ensuring vibrant, long-lasting hues.
• Coating: A secondary process that adds a smooth, colored coating to the stick’s surface, enhancing both aesthetics and durability.
• Silk Printing: Ideal for adding brand logos, product details, or decorative designs directly onto the stick.
• Hot Stamping: This process involves applying metallic or other finishes to the packaging for a premium look.

100% PP/PCR ROUND STICKS

Premium Pack's 100% PP Round Stick is an even more sustainable option, as it can also be made from PCR materials. Available capacities include 30g, 50g, 75g, and 90g. Its different components can be customized in any color, including coating options and water transfer printing, which means the surface can mimic various textures, such as wood, stone, marble, or water.

REFILL STICKS

The company's refillable sticks—available in 30g and 50g— offer numerous additional benefits:

1. They reduce plastic waste, minimizing environmental impact and encouraging a circular economy by extending the product's life cycle.
2. They are user-friendly, ensuring convenient application, replacement, and portability.
3. They are also cost-effective for both manufacturers and consumers, as the refill options are typically more affordable than buying a new product each time.

AS STICKS

The AS Stick has a bottom-up screw mechanism at the base to push the product upwards as it is applied. An additional internal seal fits snugly over the product area to prevent leaks and tampering before purchase. Available capacities include 6g, 15g, 30g, 50g, and 75g.

Stick packaging in the beauty industry reflects changing consumer needs and preferences. The combination of convenience, portability, and hygiene makes stick formats a popular choice for various products. This is why Premium Pack’s sticks are a valuable asset for brands looking to stay ahead in the competitive beauty market.
