19mm PE Pointed Small Mouth Tube-2 – Hongyi Plastic

Features

• Tube Body Design.

For this series of tubing, we opted for a transparent tubing that has been coated with a layer of glossy varnish. Initially, a hot stamping process was used to transfer different colored metallic foil onto the surface of the tubing. After the hot stamping was complete, silkscreen printing was applied to cover other colors of ink (text and patterns). The silkscreen ink can precisely cover areas outside the hot stamping layer or partially cover the hot stamping layer, thus enabling complex color combinations. After the silkscreen printing was completed, the ink was thoroughly dried and hardened using UV (for UV ink) or heat (for solvent-based ink).

Why was “hot stamping followed by silkscreen printing” chosen?

The core advantages of this process sequence lie in its layered appearance, tactile quality, and reliability.

• Emphasizing the metallic feel:The gold foil applied first has a strong metallic luster and three-dimensional effect that is unmatched by any metallic-colored ink.
• Strong coverage:The subsequent silk-screen printing can use dark-colored inks with high opacity (such as black or deep blue) to cover the gold-foil layer, thereby defining clear edges of the design and text without compromising the gold-foil effect.
• Higher durability: When silk-screen printing is followed by gold foiling, the high temperature (typically above 100°C) and high pressure during the gold foiling process can easily cause the already printed ink to change color, form bubbles, or peel off. In contrast, when gold foiling is done first and then silk-screen printing is performed, the ink that has already dried can adhere well to the gold-foiled surface, resulting in a more stable overall structure.
• High-end visual effect:Combines a shiny metallic sheen with matte or glossy colored inks, creating a striking contrast and a sense of premium quality.

Product Advantages

Extreme Sealing:

The dual-sealing mechanism provides the highest level of protection among all soft tube packaging options, making it ideal for protecting highly active ingredients that are sensitive to air and moisture, such as Vitamin C, retinol, and peptides.

Preservation of contents:

Effective in preventing oxidation, spoilage, and drying out of the product, ensuring that the efficacy remains fresh from the first application to the last.

Precise control of usage:

The fine nozzle is ideal for precisely controlling the output of high-concentration, high-value products, thereby preventing waste.

 High-end quality feel:

The meticulous threading process of “Little Tooth” itself is a testament to the craftsmanship involved in its creation.

The use of the inner seal gives users a sense of “brand-new, never opened” reassurance and ritualistic experience, which is a common practice among high-end brands.

Leak-proof and shock-resistant:  

Perfect for travel, significantly reducing the risk of leaks due to compression within the bag.

Product application scenarios

We use different colored gold foil stamping on this series of tubes, which can shape different brand images and convey different product essences. Each color will give users a completely distinct visual and psychological experience!

For example, our Classic Gold is luxurious, noble, and classic. It has extremely strong reflectivity and is the most dazzling and eye-catching. It stands out especially well on dark-colored tubes (such as black and deep blue). It conveys a sense of enduring, trustworthy luxury. Top anti-aging series, luxurious cream and lotion, classic perfume, gift set.

Light / Champagne Gold: Elegant, refined, and modern. Softer and less flashy than classic gold, with a warm and refined feel. Gentle, elegant, sophisticated, and luxurious. More youthful and modern than gold, suitable for brands that want to convey high-end quality but don’t want to appear too old-fashioned. Essence, eye cream, mid-to-high-end skincare line, women’s fragrance, niche brands.

Rose Gold: fashionable, gentle, and romantic. Combines the luxury of gold with the softness of pink, making it very stylish and feminine. Sweet, romantic, modern, and friendly.

Makeup products (lipstick, blush), body care products, skincare products targeted at the young market, holiday-themed limited editions.

Silver: Sleek, modern, and futuristic. It has a cold, metallic sheen that gives it a very clean and streamlined appearance. Pure, simple, high-tech, and modern. Often used to emphasize the “technological aspect,” “pure formula,” or “icy sensation” of a product. Whitening series, men’s skincare, medicinal cosmetics (focuses on acids and repair), cleaning products.

Black Gold / Gunmetal: Mysterious, powerful, and extreme. This is a color that is very deep, understated, but also incredibly powerful. It appears dark from a distance but has a subtle metallic sheen when viewed closely. Mysterious, high-end, hardcore, effective. It conveys a sense of “understated luxury” and “powerful performance,” making it highly sophisticated and attractive. Top-tier essence, ampoule, nighttime repair products, niche luxury brands, men’s high-end line.

Color and holographic foil: dazzling, trendy, and unique. Includes pure-colored foils such as red, blue, and green, as well as the unpredictable laser holographic effects. Vibrant, creative, playful, and avant-garde. Captures attention instantly and is perfect for brands looking to stand out and break away from the norm. Trendy makeup brands, limited-edition holiday releases, collaborative designs, and unique brands tailored for the Z generation.

Firstly, it is essential to clarify what kind of brand personality you want to convey through the packaging: is it classic luxury or modern technology? Is it a gentle, feminine approach or a trendy, avant-garde style? We can provide you with physical samples to assess any color deviations: the color of the gold foil can exhibit vastly different effects depending on the light source and the base material. There may be a discrepancy between the color as shown on the color card and the final printed effect on the tube. You can choose and confirm the desired effect based on visual inspection and tactile experience.

We can also help you experiment with different combinations of techniques. How about gold foil stamping paired with the subsequent silk-screened color? For example, “black gold foil stamping + bright red silk-screened color” can create a very powerful and mysterious effect. The cost of different techniques will also vary, and we can help you consider the costs and recommend a suitable technique for your product. In summary, the choice of tube processing is not just about “selecting a technique”; it is an important visual communication between the brand and the consumer. It shapes the first impression of the product and determines its appeal on the shelf. This is the value that Hongyi Plastic Industry can create!
