As the cosmetic industry has grown, so has its packaging applications. Traditional packaging bottles are not enough to meet the diverse needs of cosmetics, and the appearance of cosmetic tubes has solved this problem to a large extent. Cosmetic tubes are widely used because of their softness, lightness and low price.

The development trend of cosmetic tubes.

From Rigid To Soft
Many cosmetic supplier love tubes because they create a soft and smooth touch. Since they are so soft, they can be made into almost any shape. Low cost is another reason behind the change. Hoses are lighter than rigid containers, so they require lower cost. What’s more, the softness makes the tube easier to work with. You just squeeze the tube and you get the product inside.

Green Tube
Eco-friendly packaging is becoming more and more popular. Tube suppliers are also looking for ways to make their products more environmentally friendly. Lightweight PCR material, aluminum or renewable biomaterials such as paper and sugar cane are all good choices. These options either require less energy or can be recycled, reducing carbon emissions.

Airless Tube

Airless is one of the major trends in the cosmetic industry. Airless tubes offer some additional benefits compared to traditional tubes. They can effectively prevent internal products from being contaminated by certain pollutants. At the same time, they also protect the active ingredients and extend their shelf life due to their air-isolating properties. In addition, the filling method is as simple as the traditional method.

Trendy Closures
The design of the closure reflects a stronger aesthetic. It seems that people are never satisfied with traditional closure designs, they are after something that looks stylish and works well. The top or side of a basic closure is often turned into something stylish with a metallic design or other trim.

Sophisticated Surface Treatment Technology
The tube can have almost any pattern design on its surface. What’s more, it allows for more sophisticated and high-end surface treatment techniques, ranging from self-adhesive labels, screen printing, offset printing, gloss/matt/semi-matt varnish finish coating, foil stamping, digital printing, and even these combination of processes. Multi-colored designs are also popular in the field of tubing.
