Squeeze Tubes for Cosmetics: Uses, Benefits & Trends in 2026

Xinfly Packaging is a cosmetic tube manufacturer in China producing high-quality tube packaging for skincare, makeup, personal care, and selected food and pharmaceutical applications. We offer PE tubes, laminated tubes (ABL/PBL), and sustainable solutions such as PCR tubes, with flexible customization and stable quality control to support global brands.

Who We Are

As a manufacturer, our focus goes beyond supplying finished tubes. We help brands choose the right tube structure, diameter, closure, and decoration method to match product performance requirements and brand image, while maintaining reliable production consistency.

Our manufacturing capabilities support both new product launches and long-term repeat orders, with development support for artwork, sampling, and production planning.

What We Manufacture

PE Plastic Tubes

PE tubes are widely used for skincare and personal care products. They provide a comfortable squeezing feel, strong practicality, and broad compatibility with common cosmetic formulas.

Laminated Tubes (ABL / PBL)

Laminated tubes provide enhanced barrier performance and premium decoration effects. They are commonly selected for products requiring stronger protection or a more premium look.

  • ABL tubes: aluminum barrier laminate for high protection against oxygen, moisture, and light
  • PBL tubes: plastic barrier laminate (aluminum-free) for modern, recycling-oriented strategies

PCR Sustainable Tubes

PCR tubes help reduce virgin plastic usage and support sustainability-focused lines. They are increasingly adopted by brands seeking eco-friendly packaging options while maintaining practical performance.

Typical Applications

We manufacture cosmetic tubes for a wide range of product categories, including:

  • Facial cleanser tubes, face cream tubes, hand cream tubes
  • Eye cream tubes with fine tips or applicator options
  • Sunscreen tubes and daily skincare essentials
  • Lip gloss tubes and selected color cosmetics packaging
  • Oral care tubes and specialty tubes for high-protection formulas

Tube structure and decoration are usually selected based on viscosity, ingredient sensitivity, and the desired brand positioning.

Custom Cosmetic Tube Options

Sizes, Diameters & Capacities

We support a wide range of sizes from small sample tubes to large family-use formats. Cosmetic tube capacities typically range from 5 ml to 250 ml, depending on diameter, tube length, and product category.

Caps, Closures & Applicators

  • Flip-top caps, screw caps, and stand-up caps
  • Long nozzles, slant tips, and precision openings
  • Special applicator designs for eye care and treatment products
  • Custom-colored caps to differentiate variants or ranges

Printing & Finishing

  • Silk screen printing for bold, opaque elements
  • Offset printing for detailed artwork and gradients
  • Hot stamping for metallic premium effects
  • Surface finishes: matte, glossy, soft-touch, and special effects (optional)

Manufacturing Quality & Consistency

Stable quality is essential for tube packaging performance, especially when products go through filling, sealing, transport, and long-term storage. We focus on key control points that affect real-world performance.

  • Consistent wall thickness and dimensional stability
  • Strong sealing and leakage prevention
  • Cap fit and torque consistency
  • Print alignment, color consistency, and surface finish stability
  • Compatibility considerations based on formula type and use scenario

For specific markets and product categories, inspection items can be aligned with your requirements during development.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about choosing and working with a cosmetic tube manufacturer — production capabilities, materials, quality assurance, customization, lead time, sustainability options, and order planning.

Q1What does a cosmetic tube manufacturer do?
A cosmetic tube manufacturer produces packaging tubes for beauty and personal care products. This includes extrusion, multi-layer lamination (PBL/ABL), printing, sealing, quality testing, and global shipment. They handle OEM/ODM customization from size, material, color, printing, and closures to final packing.
Q2What materials can a manufacturer work with?
Common materials include PE (mono & COEX), PCR (post-consumer recycled), sugarcane bio-PE, laminate (PBL/ABL) and aluminum tubes. Manufacturers may also support wheat straw blends or other eco-friendly materials.
Q3Can the manufacturer customize printing and decoration?
Yes. Printing options include silk-screen, offset, digital, hot stamping, spot-UV, matte/gloss coatings, soft-touch, and emboss/deboss effects. Artwork is usually provided as AI/PDF with Pantone references.
Q4What is the typical minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQs generally start around 5,000–10,000 pcs per design, depending on tube size, material and decoration method. Some manufacturers offer lower MOQs for standard stock tubes or simple printing.
Q5How long is the lead time?
Sampling typically takes 7–10 days after artwork confirmation. Full production often takes around 25–40 days after pre-production sample approval, depending on order size and complexity.
Q6How do manufacturers ensure product quality?
Professional manufacturers conduct sampling, in-process inspection, leak & tail-seal strength tests, cap torque checks, drop/transport tests, printing adhesion tests, and material compliance verification (ISO, RoHS, REACH, etc.) before shipping.
Q7Can the manufacturer support sustainability goals?
Yes. Many manufacturers offer PCR content options (e.g., 20–50%), bio-PE from sugarcane, and design-for-recycling mono-material tubes. They can assist with accurate sustainability claims and documentation.
Q8What should I prepare before requesting a quote?
Prepare detailed tube specifications: size (ml/mm), material choice, desired printing/decorations, Pantone colors, target quantity, and delivery terms. This helps the manufacturer provide accurate quotes and sampling timelines.
Q9Does the manufacturer handle packaging and shipping?
Yes. Established manufacturers typically offer sea (FCL/LCL), air freight, and express (DHL/UPS/FedEx) shipping options. They can pack tubes safely using protective films, cartons, and pallets, and offer DDP/DAP terms if requested.
Q10Can I visit the factory?
Many manufacturers welcome visits, tours, or third-party inspections. Visiting helps buyers verify production capacity, quality systems, and communication readiness before placing larger orders.
