About AE-1
AE-1 is a plastic perfume atomizer designed for brands seeking a lightweight, cost-effective packaging solution with customizable surface finishes. The body is injection molded and available in multiple finish options, each suited to different aesthetic and durability needs. It is intended for use in travel-size lines, promotional gifts, and private-label fragrance collections. Finish options are applied in-house using UV coating and printing processes, and the atomizer is assembled with a pump before packing. The inner-box and export carton counts are quoted on request, as are minimum order quantities per colour.

Compared With The Alternatives
| Painted plastic atomizer | UV coating bonds to the surface and resists chipping and wear better than sprayed paint |
|---|---|
| Anodized aluminium atomizer | Plastic is lighter and less expensive; UV coating offers a similar durability to anodizing on plastic |
| Glossy plastic with no coating | UV coating adds scratch resistance and a more consistent finish than uncoated plastic |
Use Guide
- Confirm the UV coating finish against a physical reference before tooling the run
- Fill through the collar opening before the pump is crimped, or order pre-assembled and fill through the pump
- Keep inner boxes sealed until filling to protect the coated surface
- Order in multiples of the export carton count to ensure full cartons ship
