2 Study Highlights US Demand The US market for cosmetic and toiletry containers is expected to grow 2.1 percent per annum through 2003 to over 16 billion units. Plastic containers will continue to dominate the industry and outpace other material types. Paperboard containers will benefit from above average gains in such end uses as hair color preparations, which require a box to house multiple containers. Glass containers will remain dominant in perfume and mid-toupper lotion and cream markets, as well as in the packaging of nail cosmetics. Toiletry markets with favorable growth prospects include hair and skin care, with sun care products and hair colors among the fastest growing applications. Lip and nail cosmetics will continue to do well, based on fashion trends and consumers' tendency toward purchasing multiple colors of these products. Industry Structure and Participants In 1998, the top five players held 39 percent of the US market. Excluded are secondary containers not designed for use beyond the point of sale (e.g., shipping crates and merchandise display boxes), flexible packaging, and dispensers, closures and applicators. Also excluded are containers for personal bar soaps, medicated toiletry products and "hard" personal care items like tooth and hair brushes, dental floss, moist towelettes and razors. Leading companies include Algroup Wheaton (Alusuisse Lonza), Owens-Brockway (Owens-Illinois), Pechiney, Silgan Plastics (Silgan Holding) and US Can. Imports are generally not a major factor, except for high-end glass containers and cosmetic cases. Freedonia Industry Study 2

6 Market Environment The Market Environment Section discusses factors influencing cosmetic and toiletry packaging demand, including consumer spending and demographic trends. This information provides you with an understanding and an analysis of the climate in which the cosmetic and toiletry containers industry operates. MARKET ENVIRONMENT Age Distribution Patterns Because different age groupings tend to purchase certain personal care products more than others, the size and growth of different age cohorts can strongly affect sales of various cosmetic and toiletry products. Furthermore, there is an increasing SAMPLE PAGE trend toward catering to various age groupings via product differentiation, and one vital way in which this is done is through packaging. For instance, bath products for children are often packaged in bottles featuring cartoon characters, while those targeted to the teen market are typically packaged in bright tubes and innovative bottle designs. For older age groupings, nostalgic packaging designed to look like old-fashioned apothecary containers is finding favor. In any case, population segments exhibiting strong growth are prime areas of opportunity for personal care product manufacturers, and thus for cosmetic and toiletry container producers. Through 2003, areas of relatively strong growth include that portion of the population over 44, and, to a lesser extent, those between five and 24 years of age. While the 15-to-24 age grouping is projected to increase only 0.6 percent annually through below aggregate population growth -- this cohort is crucial due to relatively high disposable incomes and a disproportionate amount of spending on personal care products. Teenagers' incomes in aggregate have swelled from $86 billion in 1993 to well over $110 billion in 1998, and teens are estimated to spend over $4 billion dollars per year on cosmetics alone. Furthermore, teens tend to be more susceptible to advertising and spontaneous purchases. The personal care product industry is also responding to projected gains of nearly two percent per annum in the five-to-14 year old grouping by targeting bath products and even cosmetics to older children or pre-teens. Estee Lauder's purchase of JANE cosmetics is a telling indicator of the importance of marketing to older children, teenagers and persons of college-age.

7 Products The Product Sections provide demand for historical years and forecast growth to 2003 and Glass Jars PRODUCTS Products discussed include: Plastic Containers Paperboard Containers Glass Containers Metal Containers This information helps you: Analyze your company's growth potential in the industry. Outline your strategic plans for five and ten years out. Establish sales goals. Demand for glass cosmetic and toiletry jars, or pots, is expected to grow 1.7 percent through 2003 to 305 million units. Advances will exceed increases in SAMPLE PAGE bottles, due mainly to healthy growth potential in upscale mass and prestige creams, which will receive a boost from the affluent baby boom generation. Limiting gains will be a general trend toward plastics in pots and jars for color cosmetics, even at the high end. An example of recent design in glass jars is Lancome's HYDRA ZEN skin cream, which is packaged in a clear, frosted glass jar designed to reflect the shape of a rice bowl, with the diameter markedly smaller at the bottom than at the top. Created by SGD Glass, the bottle is decorated on both sides with silk screen, a feat made difficult by the slop of the jar's size. Most jars and pots used in personal care are simply shaped, and the use of stock containers is common. In the US, a variety of stock jars are produced by major glass container manufacturers such as SGD Glass and Carr Lowrey. As with bottles, the use of stock over custom jars can lower costs, shorten lead times and take advantage of economies of scale in manufacturing.

8 Markets The Markets Section analyzes trends and considers the threats and opportunities in each of the major markets for cosmetic and toiletry packaging. The information presented will help you: Focus your sales and marketing efforts on high growth areas. Propose new areas for development. MARKETS Skin Cleansers Container demand for skin cleansers is expected to increase 3.2 percent per SAMPLE PAGE annum through 2003 to 670 million units. This segment encompasses liquid hand cleansers, facial cleansers, bubble bath, shower gels and miscellaneous skin cleansers other than bar soap (which is not included in this study). The market will benefit from new product introductions, which will boost sales of trial-sized products and create new market niches; from the marketing of skin cleansers as part of a "spa-like" experience; and from the segmentation of products along age lines. As the large segment of the population over the age of 35 continues to grow -- from 50 percent in 1998 to 52 percent in consumers will turn increasingly to less drying alternatives to traditional bar soaps. Limiting gains will be a slowing in the market penetration of liquid hand cleansers, largely due to the fact that bar soaps are more economical than liquid counterparts. Nonetheless, liquid hand cleansers are expected to continue to provide opportunities as Hair Care Product Containers they are easier to by use, Sector less messy and more sanitary than traditional bar (million units) soaps. This is partially a reflection of their packaging, which typically comprises plastic bottles (usually PET) with pump dispensers. TricorBraun has developed a new bottle design used by The Disney Store's line of antiseptic hand wash. Instead Item of a pump dispenser, the one-piece bottle is fitted with a fill tube, and the user squeezes the bottle to dispense the desired amount of product.

Price competition in the industry is very strong, especially in more commodity-type products, and can SAMPLE PAGE be the determining factor as to which material is used for a specific application. The continuing success of plastics in personal care packaging is largely attributable to their cost and performance advantages: not only are commodity plastics inexpensive alternatives to glass and other materials, but they are also light weight, and do not break during shipping or use by the final consumer. Plastics are also nearly endlessly malleable, allowing a wide spectrum of shapes, textures, levels of transparency and other physical attributes; and they are also amenable to a wide range of decoration techniques. Other significant marketing elements are customer service and product design and development capabilities. The ability to offer design and engineering capabilities (as well as, in some cases, a variety of material choices) to fulfill a personal care manufacturer's vision of a package design is crucial, particularly when dealing with major manufacturers such as Procter & Gamble or Estee Lauder. Such considerations are especially important in higher-end applications, such as perfumes, where package design can be among the most important elements to a products' success. However, the ability to offer unique designs is also crucial even in mass market toiletries, where favorable functional characteristics, such as toggles with new closure systems, can sell a product due to novelty or ease of dispensing. Functional properties are an increasingly important consideration in some areas, particularly when new product formulations require a new packaging system. One example is "airless" containers, including those for dispensing skincare formulas, Copyright by The Freedonia Group, Inc. (continued) Order form on last page 9

The Company operates in three product segments: Aerosol; Paint, Plastic and General Line; and Custom and Specialty Products. In late 1998, US Can divested its former Metal Services segment to BMAT Incorporated, a subsidiary of BWAY SAMPLE PAGE Corporation, for $31 million. US Can had 1998 sales of $710 million, with US sales of $594 million. The Company employs 3,960. In 1998, sales of aerosol cans accounted for approximately $469 million of US Can s total sales. US Can is reportedly the leading producer of aerosol cans in North America, with the widest range of aerosol diameters and heights and more manufacturing locations than its competitors. The Aerosol segment s product line includes SLIM LOOK aerosol cans and piston and SEPRO barrier packaging. Moreover, the segment offers metal graphics for its products. SLIM LOOK aerosol cans are designed for packaging such upscale personal care products as body fragrances, hair formulations and cosmetics. The products are available in North America in five heights ranging from 2-7/8 inches to 6-1/2 inches.

These companies focus on plastic and/or paper packaging, although private firms are also active in aluminum foil, textile packaging and steel strapping. This report profiles over 180 privately-held US flexible packaging companies, including American Packaging, Bryce, Duro Bag, Huntsman Packaging, Printpack and Sigma Plastics. The report also forecasts industry demand and presents company market share data. # / $3,000 Caps & Closures The US cap and closure market will approach 157 billion units in 2003, propelled by more closureintensive containers. Also supporting unit gains will be new applications and smaller container sizes in some markets. Value gains will slow yet still remain at above-average rates based on the continued popularity of value-added plastic closures. This study analyzes the US cap and closure industry to 2003 and 2008 by material, type, and end-use. The study also presents market share and profiles key suppliers. # / $3,500 Corrugated & Paperboard Boxes Underlying slow gains in US box demand will be an upswing in food shipments and strength in other markets (e.g., drugs, fast food, consumer electronics, software). Competitive packaging and reductions in secondary packaging are spurring box makers to develop new designs, improve graphics, tout paper s environmental profile and target new markets. This study analyzes the $33 billion US paper box industry to 2002 and 2007 by product, material and market. It also presents market share and company profiles. # / $3,300 Plastic Containers US plastic container shipments will grow over 4% annually as improved barrier properties allow plastics to cut deeper into competitive material markets. Resin use will outpace unit shipments as larger containers like pails and bottles supplant food trays, although the trend will be toward lighter weight containers. The study analyzes the US plastic container industry to 2002 and 2007 by type and end-use, including market share and company profiles. # / $3,400 Cosmetic & Toiletry Chemicals US demand for chemicals in cosmetics and toiletries will grow over 5% annually. Market value gains will be driven by a shift toward more drug-like active ingredients, and by rising demand for products that protect from sun, heat, pollution, etc. Ingredients used in products targeted at aging and ethnic markets will further spur growth. This study analyzes the $5 billion US cosmetic and toiletry chemical industry to 2003 and 2008 by type, function and market. It also presents market shares and profiles key companies. # / $3,400 Metal Cans Mature markets and competition from glass and plastics will slow annual metal can growth significantly.
