What Are Empty Lip Gloss Tubes?

Empty lip gloss tubes refer to cosmetic tube packaging supplied without product filling. They typically include the tube body, wiper, applicator wand, and cap, ready for filling with lip gloss, lip oil, or other liquid lip formulas.

These tubes are widely used by cosmetic manufacturers, private label brands, contract fillers, and businesses that prefer to manage filling separately.

Suitable for Private Label & Contract Filling

Many private label and OEM programs use empty lip gloss tubes to separate packaging sourcing from formula production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Key points: empty tube types, capacity, materials, caps/tips, filling compatibility, sealing & leak-proof, printing, samples, MOQ, lead time, shipping, and safe storage.

Q1What are “empty lip gloss tubes” and who are they for?
Empty lip gloss tubes are unfilled packaging components used by cosmetic brands, private-label sellers, and OEM factories to fill lip gloss, lip oils, balms, and treatments. They’re supplied clean and ready for filling on your production line.
Q2What tube formats can be used for lip gloss?
Common options include squeeze tubes (soft PE), nozzle-tip tubes for precise dispensing, and other applicator-ready designs. Your best choice depends on viscosity and the user experience you want.
Q3What capacities are most popular?
Typical choices are 5ml, 8ml, 10ml, 12ml, and 15ml. We can also customize other volumes based on your target fill weight and package size.
Q4Which materials are available for empty lip gloss tubes?
Standard material is PE for squeeze performance. Sustainable options include PCR recycled plastic and sugarcane bio-PE. We recommend the best option based on appearance, printing, and sustainability goals.
Q5What caps, tips, or closures can be matched?
Options include screw caps, flip caps, stand caps, fine tips, long nozzles, and other dispensing accessories. We match closures for leak resistance and smooth dispensing.
Q6Are these tubes compatible with different lip gloss formulas?
Yes—empty tubes can be matched to many formulas, but viscosity and oil content matter. Share your formula type (gloss, lip oil, balm, treatment) and we’ll recommend the most suitable tube structure and tip.
Q7How do you ensure the tubes are leak-proof after filling?
We control fit and sealing through checks such as cap torque, component matching, and leak testing. For special formulas, we can suggest suitable tip/inner plug designs to reduce leakage risk in shipping.
Q8Can I add my logo and custom design on empty tubes?
Yes. We offer silk-screen, offset, and digital printing, plus hot stamping, spot-UV, and matte/gloss finishes. We recommend approving physical samples to confirm real-color and print quality.
Q9Do you provide samples before mass production?
Yes. Standard samples can be provided, and customized samples with your artwork are available for approval before bulk production to reduce risk.
Q10What are MOQ, lead time, and shipping options?
MOQ typically starts at 5,000–10,000 pcs per design. Customized samples often take 7–10 days. Mass production is typically 25–40 days after approval. We ship worldwide by sea (FCL/LCL), air, or express.
