Eye Cream Tube – Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about materials, barrier choices, applicators, orifice sizes, capacities, sustainability, samples, MOQ and lead times for eye cream tubes.

1) What tube materials work best for eye cream?
PE and COEX are common for standard formulas; ABL/PBL or EVOH-barrier COEX are recommended for actives sensitive to oxygen or fragrance loss.
2) Do I need a barrier tube for my eye cream?
If your formula contains retinol, vitamin C, peptides, or volatile oils, choose ABL/PBL or COEX with EVOH to improve oxygen and aroma retention.
3) Which applicator/head should I choose for the eye area?
Popular options: metal roller, stainless/ceramic massage head, zamac cooling tip, or slanted soft applicator. Pick by desired cooling/soothing effect and hygiene.
4) What orifice size suits eye cream?
Typically 0.6–1.5 mm. Thicker balms need larger orifices; gels/serums need smaller for controlled dispensing.
5) What are typical capacities for eye cream tubes?
Common sizes are 10 ml, 15 ml, 20 ml and 30 ml for travel-friendly, precise application.
6) How do I avoid leakage or hardening at the tip?
Match orifice to viscosity, consider inner plug or check-valve style tips, and specify heat-seal/ultrasonic sealing plus cap torque testing.
7) Can the tube be airless?
Yes. Airless eye tubes protect oxygen-sensitive actives and enable smooth, small-dose dispensing with minimal residue.
8) What decoration and finishes are available?
Silk-screen, offset, hot-foil, label; matte, glossy, pearl, soft-touch; gradient/ombre inks. Request pre-press checks for small text near the tip.
9) Are there sustainable eye cream tubes?
Options include PCR-PE content, bio-based (sugarcane) PE, and mono-material PE structures to improve recyclability.
10) What tests are required before mass production?
Compatibility, aging, leakage/pressure, drop, torque, and migration (where applicable). Approve pre-production samples before bulk.
11) What is the typical MOQ and lead time?
MOQ usually 5,000–10,000 pcs per design; sampling ~7–10 days after artwork, mass production ~25–30 days post approval.
12) Can you help me choose the right head and material for my formula?
Yes — share viscosity, actives, desired user feel, target markets, and we’ll recommend material/barrier, applicator, orifice and sealing specs.
