PE 10ml 15ml 20ml Lipstick Lip Gloss Tube for Cream Lotion Sunscreen Product Overview

Boyu Packaging manufactures custom PE cosmetic tubes in 10ml, 15ml and 20ml capacities for lipstick, lip gloss, cream, lotion, sunscreen and other makeup or skincare formulations.

The tube features a compact 19mm diameter and a controlled wall thickness of approximately 0.39–0.41mm. This construction provides a practical balance between flexibility and structural stability, allowing users to dispense the formula smoothly while helping the tube maintain its appearance during filling, packing and transportation.

Tube length, color, cap, dispensing orifice and surface decoration can be customized according to your formula, filling volume and brand requirements.

Product Specifications

19mm Compact PE Tube

The slim 19mm diameter makes this tube suitable for small-volume cosmetic products requiring a portable and easy-to-use package.

Available capacities include:

• 10ml: cosmetic samples, lip treatments and concentrated formulas
• 15ml: lip gloss, liquid lipstick, eye cream and concealer
• 20ml: sunscreen, face cream, lotion, primer and travel-size skincare

Tube length is adjusted according to the required capacity, formula density and filling headspace.

Controlled Wall Thickness

The standard wall thickness for this 19mm PE tube is approximately 0.39–0.41mm.

This thickness helps provide:

• Smooth squeezing and controlled dispensing
• Suitable flexibility for creams, lotions and gels
• Stable appearance after filling
• Resistance to deformation during packing
• Lightweight and portable cosmetic packaging

Final tolerance and performance are confirmed according to the selected tube structure and approved production sample.

Tube Wall Thickness Reference

Tube wall thickness is selected according to the tube diameter and required structural performance.

The values above are manufacturing reference ranges. Final specifications depend on material, layer structure, tube length, capacity and approved sample.

Tube Structure Options

Mono-Layer PE Tube

A mono-layer PE structure is flexible, lightweight and cost-effective. It is suitable for many conventional cosmetic creams, lotions, gels, lip products and sunscreen formulas.

Multi-Layer PE Tube

A multi-layer structure can be evaluated when additional structural or barrier performance is required.

EVOH Barrier Option

An EVOH barrier layer may be added for formulas requiring improved resistance to oxygen transmission. The appropriate structure should be selected based on the actual formula and expected shelf life.

Compatibility testing is recommended before mass production.

Custom Dispensing Orifice

The tube opening can be customized according to the viscosity and required dosage of the formula.

A smaller orifice may be suitable for:

• Lip gloss
• Liquid lipstick
• Eye cream
• Concentrated serum
• Precision application products

A larger orifice may be suitable for:

• Sunscreen
• Face cream
• Lotion
• Cosmetic gel
• Higher-viscosity formulas

The final orifice diameter should be confirmed through dispensing tests with the customer’s actual formula.

PP Screw Cap

The PE tube is matched with a PP screw cap for secure closing and convenient daily use.

Available cap options may include:

• Custom Pantone colors
• Glossy or matte finish
• Color matching with the tube
• Gold or silver decoration
• Different cap profiles, subject to mold availability
• Aluminum foil sealing

The tube shoulder, thread and cap fit are checked before mass production.

Aluminum Foil Seal Option

An aluminum foil seal can be added to protect the tube opening before first use.

It can help:

• Keep the dispensing opening clean
• Provide visible tamper evidence
• Reduce accidental leakage before opening
• Improve protection during transportation

The foil material and sealing process must be tested with the tube structure, filling process and formula.

Custom Colors and Surface Finishes

The tube body and cap can be customized according to your brand identity.

Available options include:

• White tube
• Solid-color tube
• Custom Pantone color
• Glossy finish
• Matte finish
• Soft-touch effect
• Matching or contrasting cap color

A Pantone reference or approved physical color sample is recommended for color matching.

Logo Printing and Decoration

Available printing and decoration processes include:

• Offset printing
• Silk-screen printing
• Gold hot stamping
• Silver hot stamping
• Pressure-sensitive labeling
• Custom logo printing

The most suitable process depends on the artwork, number of colors, printing area and required finish. Artwork should be supplied in an editable vector format when possible.

Formula Compatibility

PE is widely used for cosmetic and personal care packaging. However, compatibility depends on the complete formulation, filling process and expected storage conditions.

Before mass production, we recommend testing:

• Formula and tube-wall compatibility
• Formula and shoulder compatibility
• Cap sealing performance
• Leakage resistance
• Orifice and dispensing performance
• High- and low-temperature storage
• Printing and decoration resistance
• Transportation stability

Please provide the formula type, viscosity, filling temperature and expected shelf life so that we can recommend a suitable configuration.
