Core Product Specifications

Why Brands Choose This Tube

• One family, several fill sizes: 30ml and 50ml work well for portable or premium skincare; 100ml suits daily retail use; 200ml supports family-size cleanser, mask and body-care formats.
• Controlled dispensing: the consumer squeezes only what is required, while the small outlet limits unnecessary exposure of the remaining formula.
• Low shipping burden: PE tubes are lighter and less breakable than glass containers, helping exporters reduce handling risks.
• Broad visual freedom: custom color, multi-process printing, foil accents and labeling let one structure serve mass-market, clinical or luxury positioning.
• Convenient in wet environments: the tube can be used one-handed and stored in bathrooms, salons, spas and travel kits.

Capacity and Diameter Selection

Capacity alone does not determine tube dimensions. The same nominal volume can be made taller and slimmer or shorter and wider. Product density, headspace, sealing allowance and fill temperature also affect the final drawing. Importers should approve both the brimful capacity and the recommended filling volume before placing a production order.

PE Material Compared with Other Tube Materials

There is no universally “best” tube material. Boyu should receive the formula category, viscosity, pH range, essential-oil content, filling temperature and required shelf life before recommending a structure. A compatibility test using the real formula is the safest way to confirm performance.

Custom Color, Logo and Decoration

The tube and cap can be matched to a brand palette, while the printing method should be chosen around artwork complexity, order quantity, tactile effect and budget.

• Offset printing: efficient for clean, repeatable multi-color graphics around the tube body.
• Silk-screen printing: produces strong spot colors and a slightly raised ink feel; useful for minimalist logos.
• Hot stamping: adds gold, silver or other metallic accents for a more premium shelf appearance.
• UV or digital printing: useful for detailed graphics, gradients or effects, subject to substrate and quantity testing.
• Heat-transfer or water-transfer printing: supports more complex decorative coverage where technically suitable.
• Labeling: practical for flexible SKU management, regulatory copy or shorter artwork change cycles.

For accurate results, provide vector artwork, Pantone references, the desired finish (glossy, matte or soft-touch) and a marked print area. Metallic foil color, ink opacity and registration tolerances should be judged on a decorated sample rather than on a screen proof alone.

Screw Cap, Sealing and Everyday Convenience

The screw cap is simple, familiar and suitable for repeated opening. Leak resistance depends on the complete package rather than the cap alone: neck and cap thread fit, orifice design, cap liner or sealing feature, tube-head molding, tail seal, fill level and formula viscosity must work together.

How Boyu Reduces Leakage Risk

1. Confirm that the neck finish and closure are a matched set.
2. Check thread engagement and cap torque on production samples.
3. Inspect the molded tube head for flash, deformation or blocked orifices.
4. Validate the tail-sealing parameters on the buyer’s filling equipment.
5. Run inverted storage, pressure or vacuum tests as agreed for the project.
6. Perform formula compatibility and transport simulation before commercial launch.

For e-commerce or long-distance export, buyers can also discuss a tamper-evident membrane, inner plug or secondary seal. These options depend on the selected neck and cap construction.

Suitable Products and Use Scenarios

Highly volatile, solvent-rich or unusually aggressive formulas require additional technical evaluation. Do not assume compatibility from the product name alone.

Manufacturing Process

1. Requirement review: capacity, diameter, resin structure, color, closure, orifice and decoration are defined.
2. Tube extrusion: the PE sleeve is formed to the approved diameter and wall specification.
3. Head forming: the shoulder and threaded neck are molded and joined to the sleeve.
4. Surface preparation: corona or other treatment is applied where required for ink adhesion.
5. Decoration: printing, labeling, coating or hot stamping is completed according to the signed artwork.
6. Closure assembly: matched screw caps are fitted or packed as agreed.
7. Inspection and packing: appearance, dimensions, print and closure fit are checked before export cartons are sealed.

Quality Control and Product Safety

Boyu Packaging describes a quality process covering incoming materials, in-process inspection, finished-product inspection, packing checks and pre-shipment inspection. For this tube project, the control plan can include color comparison, dimensional checks, tube-weight monitoring, wall consistency, print adhesion, artwork registration, cap fit, squeeze recovery and leak testing.

“Cosmetic packaging” does not automatically prove suitability for every market or formula. Buyers should state the destination country and request the relevant material declarations, test reports or compliance documents before ordering. Final safety also depends on the buyer’s formulation, filling hygiene, storage and distribution conditions.

Environmental Profile and Reuse

PE is lightweight and may be recyclable where local collection systems accept cosmetic tubes. A mono-material-oriented design, fewer decorative layers and separable closures can improve the recycling pathway. PCR-PE may be considered when available. However, actual recyclability depends on local infrastructure, residues, pigments, barriers and decoration.

The tube is designed primarily as single-fill commercial packaging. Consumer refilling or repeated reuse is not recommended unless the package and cleaning method have been specifically validated; narrow openings and cosmetic residue can make hygienic cleaning difficult.

MOQ, Price and What Affects the Quote

The stated MOQ is 10,000 pieces per approved specification. Combining several colors, artworks or cap styles usually creates separate production variants, so buyers should ask whether the MOQ applies per size, per color and per print design.

There is no responsible fixed price without a confirmed specification. The main cost drivers are:

• Capacity, diameter, tube weight and layer structure
• Virgin PE, PCR content or high-barrier laminate
• Custom resin color and surface finish
• Cap style, cap color, orifice and tamper-evident component
• Number of print colors and decoration processes
• Order quantity, assembly method, export packing and Incoterm
• New tooling, sample development and required testing

For a comparable quotation, send one RFQ containing the annual demand, first-order quantity, capacity, diameter preference, artwork, destination and required delivery term.

OEM/ODM Process

1. Brief: share the formula category, capacity, target market, quantity, reference images and deadline.
2. Recommendation and quote: Boyu proposes a tube structure, dimensions, cap and decoration route.
3. Drawing and artwork: the technical drawing and print layout are reviewed and signed.
4. Sampling: available components, color samples or decorated pre-production samples are prepared as agreed.
5. Compatibility and filling trial: the customer tests real formula, sealing equipment and storage conditions.
6. Mass production: production begins after sample, artwork, commercial terms and payment are approved.
7. Inspection and shipment: goods are checked, packed and dispatched under the agreed Incoterm.

Is a New Mold Required?

Usually not if a standard tube diameter, shoulder, neck and screw cap already meet the brief. A new mold may be necessary for a proprietary shoulder, unusual neck, special applicator, embossed feature or genuinely unique shape. New tooling adds cost and development time, and ownership, maintenance, sample rounds and expected mold life should be stated in writing.

Lead Time, Packing and International Logistics

The supplied delivery estimate is 7–25 days. Stock components with simple decoration can be faster; custom resin colors, multiple print processes, new tooling, peak-season capacity or additional tests can extend the schedule. Treat the lead time as a project-specific estimate beginning after all approvals, not as a guaranteed transit-inclusive date.

Empty tubes are low in weight but occupy substantial volume, so freight is often charged by volumetric weight. Export cartons should prevent crushing, dust and cap abrasion. Pallets may improve handling for large orders but add volume and destination costs. Ask for carton quantity, carton dimensions, gross/net weight, pallet plan and HS-code guidance before comparing air, rail, sea or courier options.

Importers should also confirm the Incoterm—such as EXW, FOB, CIF or DDP—because it determines which party handles inland transport, export clearance, ocean or air freight, insurance, duties and final delivery.

After-Sales Support

Before shipment, agree on the approved sample, inspection standard, acceptable quality level, color tolerance, print tolerance and remedy procedure. If a problem is discovered, keep the affected cartons and submit the order number, batch details, quantities, clear photos or video and filling conditions promptly. The supplier can then trace the batch and assess replacement, rework, credit or another remedy according to the order agreement.

Importer Checklist Before Ordering

• Confirm whether 30ml, 50ml, 100ml or 200ml refers to recommended fill or brimful capacity.
• Approve a drawing showing diameter, overall height, neck, orifice, sealing area, weight and wall specification.
• Test the actual bulk formula in the actual decorated tube and closure.
• Run a filling and tail-sealing trial on production equipment.
• Approve color and print under controlled lighting; do not rely only on monitor images.
• Clarify MOQ by SKU, size, color and artwork.
• Request master-carton and pallet data before calculating landed cost.
• Reserve time for sampling, production, inspection, export and customs clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order quantity?

The stated MOQ is 10,000 pieces. Confirm whether it applies to each capacity, color and artwork combination.

Can the tube color and logo be customized?

Yes. Tube color, cap color and customer logos can be customized. Available decoration includes offset printing, screen printing, hot stamping, labeling, heat transfer, water transfer, UV and digital printing, subject to technical review.

What sizes are available?

Standard capacities are 30ml, 50ml, 100ml and 200ml. Listed diameter options are 16mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm and 50mm. Not every diameter is suitable for every capacity, so the final combination must be confirmed by drawing.

What are the exact height, wall thickness and weight?

These values depend on the selected capacity, diameter, tube structure and target feel. They were not provided as fixed product data and should be stated on the approved technical specification.

Can this tube package facial cleanser and BB cream?

Yes, these are intended applications, provided the formula passes compatibility, dispensing and storage tests with the selected PE structure and closure.

Is the tube leakproof?

A matched and correctly produced tube-cap system can provide reliable sealing, but no package should be called universally leakproof without testing the final formula, tail seal, closure torque and distribution conditions.

Can Boyu make a unique shape?

Custom shapes are possible. A design based on existing tooling is more economical; a proprietary shoulder, neck or structural feature may require a new mold.

How long does production take?

The supplied estimate is 7–25 days after the required approvals. Custom tooling, complex decoration, quantity and production scheduling can change the final lead time.

Can I order samples before mass production?

Sampling should be included in the OEM process. Ask whether you will receive an existing reference sample, a color sample, a decorated sample or a fully engineered pre-production sample, as the cost and timing differ.

How do I request an accurate quotation?

Send the capacity, diameter or target dimensions, tube material, formula category, cap, orifice, colors, artwork, quantity, destination and Incoterm. This prevents an incomplete quote that changes later.
