As an important part of the modern skin care routine, the production process of sheet masks combines sophisticated mechanical technology with strict quality control. Below we will analyze the complete production process of sheet masks from raw material to finished product packaging.
Step 1: Folding and bagging
The production process begins with a mask folding machine, which is responsible for precisely folding large sheets of film into familiar sizes and shapes. Depending on the design of the product, the machine can be folded in 3 or 4 folds to ensure that the film is tightly and neatly placed into the mask bag, ready for the subsequent filling process.
Step 2: Sterilization and Filling
The film-filled bags are fed into the mask filling machine, where they undergo a rigorous sterilization process. The equipment will fully sterilize the internal and external surfaces of the bag and the film itself to ensure that the microbiological indicators of the product meet the standards. After sterilization, the carefully formulated essence is injected accurately into the bag through the automated filling system, and then immediately sealed and labeled with the production lot number and expiration date.
Step 3: Quality Inspection and Screening
After the filling is completed, the product enters the weighing and rejecting all-in-one machine (piece weighing) inspection stage. This high-precision equipment will check the weight of each piece of mask and automatically reject unqualified products that are underfilled or omitted to ensure that the serum content of each piece of mask is within the prescribed range and to guarantee the consistency of product quality.
Step 4: Packaging and Cartoning
Qualified products that pass the inspection flow to the turret counting machine and cartoning machine. These machines automatically group the single sheet masks according to the predetermined quantity and accurately load them into the outer packaging box. Some production lines still use manual counting and cartoning, but automated equipment greatly improves efficiency and hygiene standards.
Step 5: Finished Product Inspection
The boxed mask products will be weighed and inspected again to confirm that the weight of each box meets the standard, eliminating any unqualified products with incomplete packaging or shortages of contents to ensure that what reaches the consumer is flawless.
Step 6: Final Packaging
The final step is to use a shrink film machine to add a transparent overwrap film to the mask box. This layer of protective film not only prevents dust and moisture, but also keeps the product appearance neat and tidy, and at the same time provides anti-theft sealing until the consumer unseals it after purchase.
Production mode options
sheet mask production can be based on the scale of investment to choose a different degree of automation solutions: limited investment in the early stage of the customer can choose a combination of manual and mechanical semi-automated production line; and the pursuit of efficiency and economies of scale of enterprises is suitable for the use of fully automated production line of masks, this choice, although the initial investment is high, but in the long term can significantly reduce labor costs and improve the consistency of the output.
The whole production process reflects the strict requirements of modern cosmetic manufacturing industry for hygiene, precision and efficiency, and through multiple quality tests to ensure that each piece of mask can achieve the expected skin care effect and use experience.
