The demand for travel bottles is constantly expanding, driven by the growing need to carry liquids in your suitcase in an orderly, safe and compliant manner with airport regulations. From travel cosmetic containers to pharmaceutical formulations and fragrances, travel size formats interpret the desire for practicality and comfort, allowing you to have everything you need at hand without weighing down your luggage. At the same time, the attention to materials and aesthetic appearance makes travel bottles a real communication tool, thanks to the possibility of customizing them and adopting innovative solutions, such as the use of sustainable or recycled elements. With thoughtful designs and technological details that prevent spills, it transforms a simple travel need into a pleasant and environmentally friendly experience, thus enhancing brand identity and consumer satisfaction.
Regulations for liquids in suitcases
One of the main reasons why companies in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical and home fragrance sectors opt for travel cosmetic containers is to comply with international airport regulations. In particular, the regulations concern:
- maximum capacity allowed (100 ml) for each container;
- hermetic closure and protection against accidental spills;
- obligation to place containers in a transparent resealable bag for security checks at the airport.
Complying with these indications not only facilitates the transit of passengers, but demonstrates the company’s attention to the needs of an increasingly dynamic and global clientele.
The advantages of travel size containers
Travel size containers represent an expanding segment, also thanks to the increase in short trips and weekends out of town. Here are some key benefits:
- Regulations and convenience: Many airlines require liquids to be carried in sizes of 100 ml (or less) in carry-on baggage. Travel bottles meet this need, allowing travelers to easily comply with the rules on air travel containers;
- Space optimization: small sizes save space in the suitcase, allowing consumers to take everything they need with them – shampoos, creams, perfumes and pharmaceuticals – on any occasion;
- Customer experience: The use of durable and well-thought-out bottles reduces the risk of product spillage or spillage, ensuring a hassle-free travel experience.

Travel containers: characteristics and materials
When it comes to travel bottles, it is essential to choose appropriate materials and technical solutions to ensure maximum protection and preservation of the contents. Among the most requested possibilities:
- PET or HDPE plastic: light and resistant materials, appreciated for their versatility and recyclability;
- PP (Polypropylene): ideal for certain cosmetic or pharmaceutical products that require greater chemical resistance;
- Glass: although glass is heavier and more fragile, it is chosen for high-end products (e.g. perfumes), thanks to its preservation properties and aesthetic value.
As far as closing devices are concerned, pump dispensers and travel size sprays are very popular in the cosmetics and fragrance sector. These solutions ensure safe and accurate dispensing, meeting reliability and design requirements.
Personalization and branding
Customizing travel size bottles offers numerous benefits, including:
- coordinated image: inserting the logo or using specific finishes helps to differentiate oneself on the market, conveying the corporate identity even in a small format;
- variety of finishes and colors: from transparent versions that highlight the contents, to opaque ones that guarantee additional protection from UV rays;
- production flexibility: companies specialising in packaging can create small or medium-sized tailor-made runs, meeting market needs or seasonal promotional launches.
Eco-friendly solutions for travel size containers
Sustainability is an increasingly appreciated requirement in travel size packaging, especially in sectors such as beauty, professional cosmetics and home fragrance. Here are some eco-friendly practices adopted by manufacturers:
- recycled or recyclable materials: the use of recycled PET (rPET), PE or PP, materials for which there are efficient end-of-life recovery chains;
- waste reduction: design of bottles with optimized thicknesses to reduce the consumption of raw materials without compromising strength;
- low-impact production processes: advanced moulding techniques that limit waste and optimise energy consumption.
Travel containers: the optimal format
The choice of travel containers depends on several factors, including the type of product (liquid, cream or gel), sales channel and geographical target. To define the ideal format:
- assess the nature of the product: some cosmetics require specific barriers against oxidation or bacterial contamination;
- consider the context of use: a detergent may need a specific type of closure to facilitate dispensing, while a 30 ml perfume could be enhanced with a designer nebulizer;
- maintain consistency with the brand identity: even in travel format, the packaging must reflect the values and style of the company, especially from a B2B perspective.
