Packaging cosmetics in tubes

Blog about contract manufacturing of cosmetics

Cosmetics in tubes are a practical, safe and simple mode of packaging liquid and creamy products. This is a flexible packaging made of plastic or metal, designed for reusable use. The first tubes appeared at the end of the XIX century, and their popularity is only growing over time.

Tubes are convenient and practical - quite often, these are the criteria that customers pay attention to when choosing a product. In addition, they are durable, do not break if dropped, and reliably protect the product from environmental impact and ensure a long shelf life for cosmetic products.

Our company performs packaging in aluminum and plastic tubes. We pack creams, shampoos, hair balms, shower gels, lip balms and other cosmetics. The possible dosage options are from 5 to 500 ml. The design can be applied directly to the packaging or to a label that is glued to the tube.

Packaging cosmetics in aluminum tubes: main advantages and disadvantages

Aluminum tubes are made by molding from a billet (a metal disk with a hole in the middle) using a special press. They have no welds, which ensures sealing. When deformed, metal tubes do not return to their original shape, so no air gets inside, which prevents the product from oxidizing.

On the other hand, aluminum packaging is characterized by low resistance to mechanical impact, denting during use or accidental mechanical deformation, and the risk of damage to the decorative coating.

Packaging in plastic tubes: pros and cons

Plastic tubes are made from special polymers with added pigment. The material is melted into a molten mass, which is used to form a plastic sleeve. After cooling, the sleeve is cut into pieces of the required length, and the shoulder and neck are welded to them. Plastic products can have any appearance (transparent or opaque, matte or glossy, with a lacquer finish).

Main advantages:

●      soft plastic packaging does not deform during the use of cosmetics;

●      packaging can have a variety of designs (size, shape, appearance).
