Lip Balm Tubes

These come available in black, white or clear and have twist bottoms that push the lip balm straight to the top. These are paired with solid toppers that come in a variety of different colors. These come in cylinder as well as oval shapes most commonly. These are normally made from polypropylene plastic that is affordable, lightweight and easy to clean. These tubes can also be used for lotion and solid perfume. The standard size will hold .5 ounces, although there are various larger sizes available to choose from.

Brand owners have shown a preference for multi-layered laminate tubes. The barrier layers provide much more protection and they are made by using aluminum, plastic resin or ethylene vinyl alcohol. This packaging is able to bounce back to its original shape because of the increased use of plastic-based laminate material. A sophisticated look is provided by the oil polymer tube. Not only does this tube give great barrier protection it also eliminates creasing.

Airless packages are another trend that is popular in the tube industry. Airless pumps are able to preserve the complexity of the formula by keeping out air and other contaminants. This helps to retain the original moisture content for longer periods than the conventional plastic tubes. These tubes reduce costs and production time and are able to be filled on the standard tube filling lines. Incorporation of a pump mechanism has clear benefits, making Airless another trend that is in great demand in the tube dispensing system.
