Cosmetic Tubes

It could have surprised some people that the oral care application dominates the world market for the cosmetic tubes production. According to Karine Dussimon,a senior packaging analyst at the market research company Euromonitor International,2.2 billion plastic tubes were sold in the oral care category on Europe in 2011.Followed by the beauty  and personal care categories listed below: skincare, hair care, men’s grooming, bath and shower, sun care and color cosmetics.

Experts point to many reasons why the tube has seen such success within the cosmetic packaging industry. “The tube has always been considered the perfect container for semi-solid formulations such as creams, gels, lotions and ointments because of its convenient size, shape, and light-weight characteristics. It’s durable, it can accept many decorating techniques, and in the case of barrier tubes, it can offer stability with aggressive formulations and highly pigmented products, along with the capability of offering shelf-life to products containing fragrances or active ingredients

While there has been years for the tube package for cosmetics, the cosmetic tubes is still changing and evolving to better. Owing to the innovations and development, a tube now can  communicate more kind of formulation and also cover more brand messages.
