Manufacturing Secrets for High-Quality Cosmetic Tubes

Accurate Dimensional Control for Tubes: We have accurate measurement and control of the outer diameter of our fill tubes as well as their precise lengths to guarantee there are no leaks and accurate dispensing of the product. We continue to monitor production closely to keep tight controls on our fill tube dimensional tolerances.

Material Selection The most commonly used material for flexible cosmetic tubes is PE, due to its chemical stability and the wide range of cosmetic formulas that it is compatible with. Some formulas require additional barrier protection and this is offered by multi-layer or aluminum-plastic tubes.
