Many skincare brands want packaging that looks soft, refined, and less glossy. For transparent PET and PETG bottles, a high-gloss finish may not always match the desired brand image.
Sandblasting is one surface treatment option for creating a frosted appearance on cosmetic packaging. By modifying the surface texture, it reduces the sharp reflections associated with glossy finishes and creates a softer visual effect.

In this guide, we explain how sandblasting works, what it can achieve, and what brands should consider before applying it to cosmetic bottles.
