More and more personal care products, drugs, foods and other liquid are widely contained by plastic cosmetic tubes in the current market.By contrast, tube packaging is much more portable and flexible than bottle packaging. In order to be in consumer‘s good graces, brands should not only constantly improve quality of their products, but also choose a good packaging that it can be the icing on the cake for your products. Sometimes consumers make an affirmation not only by looking at product itself, but also practicality, high quality of packaging, and the refined appearance which will also give the brand a better image.

Because of the variety of plastic packaging specifications and printing styles, we must consider of these elements:

1.Capacity. The customer shall first determine how much capacity the tube needs to be filled. The size of the plastic tube can be selected according to the conventional capacity range. If the specific gravity of the product is special, the size of the tube can be appropriately increased or reduced.

2.Length and diameter of tube. Tube diameter and tube length determine the overall width and length of the tube, also determine the visual beauty of the tube.We’d better choose the tube diameter and length the tube packaging manufacturers can produce, because the tube industry has its own standards.To choose the appropriate size of plastic cosmetic tubes can ensure smooth production.

3.Orifice. Generally, for the cosmetictube packaging, we won’t forget to consider the size, the material of the tubesleeve and the printing content. But we may easy to ignore the importance of the orifice.The tube orifice determines whether the product can be squeezed normally.The thinness of the product will determine what size of the orifice will be.

4.Appearance. The first factor of the appearance of cosmetic tubes will be the tube color. PE tube can be white, transparent, or other customized colors. The basic colors of ABL tubeare white or silver sheet, but they can be printed with whole plate offset to show different ‘tube’ colors. After that we should consider the decorations, like screen printing, offset printing, hot stamping and so on.

5.Material. Generally, we can produce 2 layersor 5 layers of PE tube, ABL, PBL and HGL. Among them, ABL has the best barrier performance, which can better protect the paste from chemical reactions.

6.Cap. Basically there are two types ofcap per the opening method, screw on cap and flip top cap. Thencapscan be made indifferent functions and styles. You can also print and metallizedon the caps. There are also requirements for the opening and closing tightness of the cap, which is also an important factor for customers to pay attention to when choosing caps for plastic cosmetic tubes.
