As global travel continues to expand, consumers increasingly expect to carry their favorite fragrances wherever they go. At the same time, perfume brands, distributors, and packaging suppliers must ensure that perfume bottles are designed to comply with air travel safety regulations.

At Anhui Kayuen DE Glassware Co., Ltd, we focus on developing professional glass packaging solutions that balance aesthetics, safety, and international transport compliance—especially for air travel scenarios.

Why Air Travel Regulations Matter for Perfume Packaging

Perfume typically contains alcohol, which classifies it as a flammable liquid under international aviation rules. This means airlines and airport security strictly regulate how perfumes are packaged, transported, and stored during flights.

Understanding these rules is not only important for travelers but also essential for:

• Perfume bottle manufacturers

• Glass packaging wholesalers

• Cosmetic and fragrance brands

• Distributors serving international markets

Global Aviation Standards Behind the Rules

Most airlines follow guidelines established by international aviation authorities. These standards define liquid volume limits, packaging requirements, and safety precautions designed to prevent leaks, pressure-related breakage, and fire hazards.

Key Packaging Requirements for Air Travel

Liquid Volume and Container Limits

For carry-on luggage, individual perfume bottles must generally not exceed 100 ml (3.4 oz). Bottles must be securely sealed and placed in transparent, resealable bags during security checks.

This regulation has significantly increased global demand for:

• Mini perfume bottles

• Refillable travel perfume bottles

• Leak-proof glass atomizers

Packaging Challenges for Glass Perfume Bottles

Glass perfume bottles offer premium appearance and chemical stability, but air travel introduces unique challenges:

• Pressure changes during flight

• Risk of leakage if closures are not secure

• Impact resistance in luggage handling

At Anhui Kayuen DE Glassware Co., Ltd, we address these challenges through:

• Precision-threaded neck finishes

• Tight-sealing pumps and caps

• Reinforced glass thickness for travel formats
