Lip Gloss Squeeze Tube Packaging – Frequently Asked Questions

All you need to know about materials, finishes, applicators, orifice sizes, printing control, QA tests, sustainability, MOQs and timelines—so your next gloss launch ships smoothly.

1) Why choose squeeze tubes for lip gloss?
They’re travel-safe, budget-friendly, easy to dose one-handed and great for shimmer gels, balms and high-viscosity formulas.
2) What materials are best for gloss squeeze tubes?
PE/LLDPE for softness and squeeze feel, PCR-PE for sustainability, bio-PE (sugarcane) as a renewable option; COEX PE+EVOH for added aroma/O₂ barrier if needed.
3) Which capacities and diameters should I consider?
Minis 5–8 ml (Ø19–22); core 8–12 ml (Ø22–25); jumbo balms 12–15 ml (Ø25–30). Height tunes exact volume and shelf presence.
4) How do I pick the right orifice size?
Sheer/glossy fluids: 0.8–1.2 mm • Thick/high-shine with glitter: 1.2–1.8 mm. Match with the correct wiper hardness to avoid stringing and leaks.
5) What tip and cap options work best?
Slanted soft tips, silicone massage tips, needle/long nozzles for precise lines; flip-top or stand-cap for convenience; screw caps for tight seal and minis.
6) Which finishes look premium on small tubes?
Silk screen, selective foil, spot-UV, pearl/mica inks, soft-touch matte or high-gloss OPV. Keep metallization areas small for recyclability.
7) How do I ensure color accuracy across reorders?
Lock Pantone + LAB targets (aim ΔE2000 ≤ 2–3), approve on-substrate proofs, keep golden samples and request lot spectro reports.
8) Will squeeze tubes leak during shipping?
Specify proper torque/lock, headspace (≥8–12 mm on ≥30 ml), robust tail-seals and anti-scuff OPV on matte; validate with drop/altitude/rub tests.
9) Are these tubes safe for cosmetic contact?
Yes—Xinfly uses cosmetic-grade materials/inks/adhesives, and can provide REACH/RoHS and contact-safety statements as required.
10) Can squeeze tubes be eco-friendly?
Choose mono-material PE tube + PE cap, add PCR content, consider bio-PE or wheat-straw PE, minimize foil/inks and include disposal icons.
11) What artwork specs should I prepare?
Factory dieline (AI/PDF), outlined fonts, 300 dpi images, barcode quiet zones, seam/cap clearances and clearly separated FOIL/SPOT-UV/OPV layers.
12) Typical MOQs and lead times at Xinfly?
MOQs usually 5,000–10,000 pcs/design. Samples ~7–10 days after artwork; mass production ~25–30 days post approval (finish/applicator dependent).
13) Any tips for e-commerce and retail thumbnails?
Use bold brand mark on the facing panel, high-contrast shade labels, and finishes that photograph cleanly (matte/spot-UV) to avoid glare.
14) Can I add PCR without hurting appearance?
Yes—spec the PCR loading (e.g., 30%) and tune with masterbatch; soft-touch or pearl finishes help mask minor base-resin variation.
15) Why partner with Xinfly Packaging?
End-to-end expertise: PE/COEX/PCR/bio options, premium printing, tight color control, rigorous QA, export docs and flexible logistics for fast launches.
