In the $180B global cosmetics market, customizable tubes dominate 67% of skincare packaging.Cosmetic tubes are widely used in cleansers, eye creams, primers, sunscreens and other products due to their lightness, good sealing and portability. This article will give you a comprehensive understanding of tube packaging from three aspects: the manufacturing process of tubes, surface treatment technology and common types of matching caps. Manufacturing Process of Skin Care Tubes Skin care tubes are usually made of PE (polyethylene) plastic, aluminum foil, plastic film and other materials.They are made into sheets by co-extrusion and compounding, and then pressed into tubular containers by a special tube making machine. The production process of tubes mainly includes: extrusion molding → cutting → printing → sealing → capping. Each step needs to be precisely controlled to ensure aesthetics and sealing. According to product type and usage requirements, they can be divided i...

In the cosmetics and skincare industry, the choice of packaging containers directly affects the product's cost, market positioning, brand image, user experience and even environmental image. Especially when launching new product packaging materials, "glass containers or plastic containers?" often becomes the core issue of concern to brands and packaging suppliers. This article will compare the advantages and disadvantages of glass containers and plastic containers in depth from the dimensions of functionality, appearance texture, environmental protection, cost control, and transportation safety, which will help you make a more suitable choice.   1.Advantages and disadvantages of glass containers advantage: High-end texture: The glass bottle has a transparent appearance and high-end texture, suitable for positioning high-end skin care brands. It has a strong sense of classic luxury, conveying a pure, natural, professional and trustworthy image. It has high transparency and is stabl...

In the skin care industry, glass bottle packaging is widely used in high-value-added products such as essences, creams, lotions, and facial oils due to its high-end texture, excellent chemical stability (strong barrier properties and good sealing properties) and environmentally friendly properties. These characteristics make it an ideal choice for enhancing product image and ensuring quality. However, brands or buyers often face a series of specific problems in the process of transporting glass packaging materials, which may affect the final product experience and brand image. Problem manifestations: 1. During the process of receiving, transporting (especially international transport) or filling, the bottle body is broken, shattered, cracked, corners are broken, and the edge of the bottle mouth is broken. 2. It leads to high loss rate, affecting cost and product availability. Main reasons: 1. Insufficient bottle material and strength: The glass is too brittle, and high borosilicate gla...

Cleaning cosmetic glass dropper bottles properly is key to keeping your serums, essential oils, and liquids free from contamination. Follow this quick 4-step process to ensure they’re spotless and safe for reuse. ​ First, disassemble the glass dropper bottle—separate the rubber bulb, glass pipette, and bottle itself. Fill a bowl with warm (not hot) water and let all parts soak for 10–15 minutes. This loosens residue, oils, or dried liquids clinging to the surfaces, making them easier to clean.​ Next, disinfect with rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl works best). Either submerge all components in alcohol for 5 minutes, or pour alcohol into the bottle and squeeze the bulb repeatedly to flush the tube thoroughly. Alcohol effectively kills bacteria and breaks down tough, stubborn grime that plain water would likely leave behind. ​ After alcohol treatment, rinse all components with warm water to remove any alcohol residue. Then, air-dry them completely on a clean towel—l...

 Jars： Glass Jar (Heavy, Luxury, and Temperature-Resistant) Glass Jar come in a variety of formats, including jars, bottles, and vials, making them ideal for products requiring the utmost purity. Amber or frosted glass variants offer UV protection, protecting light-sensitive ingredients like retinol or vitamin C from degradation. Plastics Jar (such as PETG, ABS, and PP, which are lightweight and easy to process) are widely valued for their durability and cost-effectiveness. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) are common choices, offering chemical resistance and lightweight advantages. Plastic jars with screw-top lids are suitable for body butters and thicker lotions. Features: Classic and traditional, easy to use, and easy to show the paste texture and color. However, the contents are frequently in contact with air and fingers, which requires a high level of antiseptic system. Applicable to: Luxurious nourishing facial creams, sleeping masks, massage creams, ne...

For skincare brands, the texture and quality of glass bottles directly impact product premiums, and the manufacturing process is crucial to determining quality. Currently, mainstream glass bottle manufacturing processes primarily focus on blowing, tubing, and drawing. Different processes correspond to different product characteristics, necessitating distinct considerations when selecting suppliers. 1.The blowing process is an excellent representative of high-end skin care glass bottles. The blowing process is mainly used to manufacture bottles with complex shapes, thick walls, and high-end appearance. It is especially suitable for customized bottles, such as irregular essential oil bottles and retro cream jars. When selecting a blow-molded bottle supplier, focus on three key aspects: Mold development capabilities. A good supplier should possess independent mold design and processing capabilities, accurately reproducing details such as bottle body texture and bottle neck curvature based...

1. Classification by Bottle Material: Glass, Plastic, Metal Glass dropper bottles: Their primary advantage is their chemical inertness, meaning they won't react with the contents. They're ideal for storing active ingredients (such as vitamin C serums and retinol serums) or corrosive liquids (essential oils and pharmaceutical solvents). Clear glass dropper bottles: Suitable for products that don't require light protection (such as regular toners and serums), making it easier to see how much is left. Dark glass dropper bottles (amber, cobalt blue): With built-in UV protection, they effectively block UV rays, preventing oxidation and deterioration of ingredients, making them the best choice for light-sensitive products. Plastic dropper bottles: Their primary advantages are lightness, drop resistance, and low cost, making them suitable for daily use and various office settings. However, care should be taken with the material to avoid chemical intrusion. PP dropper bottles: They offer excel...

Glass bottles are subject to various external forces during transportation, stacking, and daily use. We conduct mechanical tests that simulate actual scenarios to prevent product failures during end-use. Leakage test: Use a negative pressure seal tester to place the bottle under a specific vacuum degree to observe whether there is leakage or bubble generation to ensure that the contents will not leak or be contaminated. Drop test: This test simulates an accidental drop that may occur during transportation and handling. A bottle filled with contents (or a substitute) should not break or leak after being dropped from a specified height (such as 1 meter or 1.5 meters) onto a hard surface. Stacking Test: To simulate warehouse stacking conditions, we apply a 5 kg weight (or the equivalent of 10 layers of bottles) to a stack of filled bottles for 72 hours. The bottles must show no deformation, collapse, or seal damage. Bottle Cap Torque Test: A torque meter is used to measure the force requi...

I.Color: Slight color deviation from the Pantone color chart will be determined based on the Pantone color chart. II.Finished Product Defects：Mold line misalignment is noticeable and can cause hand injuries. III. Common Appearance Defects: Cracks, chips, chipped corners, deformation, glass ripping, internal wall sticking, and sharp punctures that may affect the seal and pose a risk of injury. Cold marks, pitting, brush marks, wrinkles, stubble marks, scissor marks, base thickness variations, and minor scratches may also be present on the bottle. Discoloration, black spots, bubbles, and pinholes may be present elsewhere. IV.Foreign Objects: Broken glass, insects, metal, blood, and other issues. Check the bottle's interior and exterior for visible foreign objects such as oil, water, paper scraps, and small impurities. V. Process Spraying The sprayed surface is not smooth or flat; it may exhibit streaks, wrinkles, frosting, orange peel, or other defects. On the main viewing surface: Two p...
