How to extend the service life of wet wipes

A qualified wet wipe usually has a shelf life of about 2-3 years, but this data is limited to the wet wipe being in an unopened state. During use, the packaging method of wet wipes can greatly affect their service life. So, what kind of wet wipe packaging can better extend the shelf life and service life of wet wipes?

1、 Cover
Unlike portable small pack wet wipes, large pack wet wipes with 60, 80, or even 100 sheets are used more frequently and for a longer period of time. Therefore, higher requirements are placed on the antibacterial and moisturizing abilities of wet wipes. So, how can we better lock in moisture and resist bacterial contamination? The answer is to add a plastic cover above the opening of the wet wipe packaging. The sealing tape on the packaging of wet wipes will lose its stickiness after multiple uses, and will not be able to maintain the sealing state of the wet wipes, which will accelerate the evaporation of moisture and shorten their service life. At this moment, the wet wipe cover is like the second protective wall of the wet wipe, opening and closing it one by one, which is both convenient to use and not easily damaged, making it the most reliable guardian of the wet wipe.
2、 Aluminum plated film
What if you feel that just adding a wet wipe cover is not enough? Don't worry, should we try adding a layer of aluminum plating film? Aluminum plated film is a composite flexible packaging material formed by coating a very thin layer of metallic aluminum on the surface of plastic film using a special process. Aluminum plated film has excellent gas barrier, moisture barrier, light shielding and fragrance retention properties. It not only has strong barrier properties against oxygen and water vapor, but also can block almost all ultraviolet, visible and infrared rays, which can effectively extend the shelf life and service life of wet wipes.
3、 Bucket packaging
For wet wipes such as alcohol disinfectant wipes that require higher packaging sealing, a packaging method of barrel packaging with aluminum film sealing can be used to minimize the evaporation of alcohol and ensure the sterilization effect of alcohol wet wipes.

Based on the positioning and characteristics of the product, finding the optimal solution for wet wipe packaging is necessary to extend the service life of wet wipes as much as possible and ensure the user experience!
