Cosmetic Tube is a commonly used packaging material for cosmetics. Technically, it is divided into round tubes, oval tubes, flat tubes, and ultra-flat tubes. According to the product structure, it is divided into single-layer, double-layer, and five-layer tubes. They are different in terms of pressure resistance, anti-penetration, and feel. For example, a five-layer tube consists of an outer layer, an inner layer, two adhesive layers, and a barrier layer.

Surface Present:

Cosmetic tubes can be made into colored tubes, transparent tubes, and pearlescent tubes, and can be divided into matte or glossy tubes. Matte may appear elegant but easily dirty. The difference between colored tubes and large-area printing on the tube body can be judged from the incision at the tail. The white incision at the end is a large area printing tube, and the ink used is required to be high, otherwise, it is easy to fall off and crack and expose white marks after being folded.

Graphic Printing:

The commonly used types on the surface of tubes include screen printing( using spot colors with simple and few color blocks), offset printing, as well as hot stamping.

Matching Lid:

The tube lids have various shapes and are generally divided into screw caps, flip caps, spherical caps, and lipstick caps. Plastic caps can also be processed in a variety of processes, such as gilding, hot stamping, and electroplating. With the diversification of user needs, the effective integration of content and functional structures such as massage actuators, rolling balls, rollers, etc. has also become a new demand in the market.

The tubes have the characteristics of light weights, easy to carry, durable, recyclable, easy to squeeze, good processing performance and printing adaptability, and are favored by many cosmetics brands, It is widely used in the packaging of cosmetics such as facial cleaning products (facial cleansers, etc.), silk care products(various eye creams, skin moisturizers, nutritional creams, and sunscreen, etc.), and beauty products (shampoo, hair conditioner, lipstick, etc.)

Filling Methods:

There are two ways to fill the tubes: Tail filling and Orifice filling. It depends on what filling machines the manufacturer has. If it is orifice-filling, attention should be paid when purchasing tubes, and it is important to consider whether the size of the orifice matches the size of the filling nozzle and whether it can be flexibly inserted into the orifice.
