In the world of fragrance, every detail matters—from the scent itself to the bottle it’s housed in. But one often-overlooked component plays a crucial role in both functionality and aesthetics: the perfume cap.
Perfume caps are more than just closures. They represent the finishing touch to a brand’s image, contribute to the user’s experience, and protect the integrity of the fragrance inside. As a specialized manufacturer of perfume bottles, aroma bottles, and bottle caps, HJ Glass Factory understands the importance of quality, design, and precision in every cap produced.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the various types of perfume caps, their common materials, and how they’re used in modern fragrance packaging.
