Custom White Empty Plastic Squeeze Tubes for Eye Cream

Custom White Empty Plastic Squeeze Tubes for Eye Cream and Hand Cream

Boyu Packaging supplies custom white PE squeeze tubes for eye cream, hand cream and other personal-care formulas. The tube color, diameter, capacity, cap style and decoration can be adjusted to match your product line. From a clean one-color logo to metallic hot stamping or full-color digital artwork, each project is reviewed according to the formula, filling method, target market and order quantity.

These tubes are lightweight, easy to dispense and practical for both retail and travel-size products. Standard tooling is available for many common sizes, while a new mold can be evaluated when a brand needs a special diameter, shoulder, nozzle or cap design.

Key Product Specifications

Why Brands Choose PE Cosmetic Tubes

PE is the mainstream material for squeezable cosmetic tubes because it combines flexibility, low weight and good processing stability. It gives the consumer controlled dispensing without the breakage risk of glass and uses less transport space than many rigid packages.

• Comfortable squeeze and controlled product delivery
• Lightweight for e-commerce, travel kits and daily use
• Wide choice of diameters, lengths, colors and closures
• Suitable for small targeted products and larger daily-care formats
• Decorates well with screen printing, foil stamping and digital printing
• Tube opening remains relatively hygienic because users do not need to touch the bulk formula

Material Options: What Is the Difference?

No material should be selected from appearance alone. Please provide the formula type, viscosity, pH range, alcohol or oil content, filling temperature and expected shelf life. Compatibility and stability testing with the actual formula remain necessary before commercial filling.

Sizes and Product Positioning

Capacity is not determined by height alone. The tube diameter, shoulder geometry, bottom seal position and required headspace all affect the usable filling volume. For a new project, we recommend confirming both the target fill volume and desired visual proportions.

Custom Colors, Logo and Surface Decoration

A plain white tube provides a clean base for medical skincare, minimalist beauty and pharmacy-style products. For a more distinctive range, the tube body and cap can be color matched using a physical color reference or an agreed color standard. Final approval should be based on a produced sample because color can look different across PE, PP and printed surfaces.

Silk Screen Printing

Best for clean logos, text and limited spot colors. Screen printing gives good opacity and a direct printed appearance. Each color and print position affects setup and cost.

Hot Stamping

Suitable for gold, silver or other metallic accents. It can add a premium focal point to a logo or product name, but fine lines, large foil areas and curved print zones need artwork review.

Digital Printing

Useful for detailed or multi-color artwork where the design is compatible with the selected tube and production quantity. Color matching, adhesion and rub resistance should be approved on samples.

Artwork should preferably be supplied as an editable AI or PDF vector file with fonts outlined. A dieline or print-area drawing will be provided or confirmed before production. Very small text, gradients and artwork close to the shoulder or end seal may require adjustment.

Cap, Sealing and Everyday Convenience

Screw caps are simple, reliable and well suited to smaller eye-cream and treatment tubes. Flip-top caps support one-handed daily use and are common for hand cream and cleanser. A long nozzle can improve targeted dispensing for concentrated formulas.

Leak resistance depends on the complete package rather than the cap alone. The tube head, orifice, cap thread, sealing surface, bottom seal, formula viscosity and filling process must work together. To reduce leakage risk, Boyu Pack confirms component fit, checks the cap engagement and tube seal, and can arrange relevant leak or compatibility evaluations based on the project. The buyer should also conduct final filled-product testing under expected storage and transport conditions.

How the Tubes Are Made

1. Specification review: capacity, diameter, material structure, cap, color, artwork and formula information are checked.
2. Tube production: the sleeve is extruded, followed by shoulder and head formation according to the selected structure.
3. Surface preparation and decoration: printing or hot stamping is applied after the surface is prepared for adhesion.
4. Cap assembly: the specified closure is matched and assembled.
5. Inspection and packing: appearance, printing, dimensions, assembly and packing are checked before shipment.

Tubes are normally supplied open at the bottom for filling by the customer’s filling factory. After filling, the bottom is heat sealed and batch coding can be applied according to the filling line.

Quality Control

Quality control starts with an approved specification and sample. Typical checks can include:

• Material, color and surface appearance
• Tube length, diameter, weight and key fit dimensions
• Cap assembly, thread engagement and opening performance
• Bottom and shoulder appearance
• Print position, color, clarity and adhesion
• Leak-resistance or sealing checks based on the agreed test method
• Packing quantity and carton condition

Golden samples or signed approval samples should be retained by both parties. For formula-sensitive products, package compatibility, migration, stability and transport testing should be completed using the actual filled formula.

Safety, Environmental Considerations and Reuse

Material declarations and supporting documents can be discussed according to the selected resin, component and destination market. Regulatory requirements differ between cosmetics markets, so buyers should state the sales countries and required documentation before ordering.

PE tubes are lightweight and can offer transport-efficiency benefits. Mono-material and PCR options may improve a project’s environmental profile, but recyclability depends on the full package and local collection system. Cosmetic squeeze tubes are generally designed as primary packaging for one product lifecycle. Refilling or repeated reuse is not recommended unless the package and cleaning process have been specifically validated for that purpose.

MOQ, Price and Cost Factors

The normal MOQ is 10,000 pieces per customized item. A different tube color, cap color, diameter, structure or decoration may be treated as a separate customized item and may require its own MOQ. If several artworks use exactly the same tube and cap specification, share the files with us so production feasibility can be reviewed.

There is no reliable one-price-fits-all quotation for a custom tube. The unit price is mainly affected by:

• Capacity, diameter, length, wall thickness and weight
• Material and number of layers
• Cap type, nozzle and closure material
• Custom color and surface finish
• Number of print colors and decoration positions
• Order quantity, packing method and trade term
• Testing, documentation and destination-market requirements

For an accurate quotation, send the required capacity, quantity, product formula type, reference image, artwork, destination and preferred Incoterm. Pricing can be offered on an EXW or FOB basis according to the project.

OEM and ODM Process

1. Send your size, capacity, quantity, formula information and design reference.
2. We recommend a suitable tube, cap and decoration method.
3. Confirm the specification, quotation, artwork and sampling plan.
4. Evaluate existing samples or approve a customized sample.
5. Place the order and confirm the pre-production standard.
6. Mass production, inspection, packing and shipment follow the approved specification.

Is a New Mold Required?

Usually not. Many projects can use an existing diameter and compatible cap, while tube length is adjusted to achieve the required capacity and proportions. A new mold may be needed for a proprietary cap, unusual shoulder, special applicator, custom nozzle or unique structural design. Tooling cost, ownership, sampling and lead time will be quoted separately when custom tooling is necessary.

Production Time and Shipping

Customized mass production commonly takes about 30–45 days after order details and samples are approved. The actual schedule depends on material, decoration complexity, quantity, tooling and factory capacity. New molds and repeated color or artwork revisions will add time.

Samples can be sent by courier. Bulk goods may ship by air, sea, rail or another agreed method. For international orders, confirm the Incoterm, destination port, carton requirements, freight responsibility and import documentation before placing the order. Final carton dimensions, gross weight and volume are available after the packing specification is confirmed.

Questions Importers Often Ask

Can I order plain white tubes without printing?

Yes. Plain white tubes can be supplied when the selected specification and quantity meet the production requirements.

What is the minimum order quantity?

The normal MOQ is 10,000 pieces per customized item. Please send the exact size, cap, color and artwork because changes to these details may create separate production items.

Can you make both eye-cream and hand-cream sizes?

Yes. Narrow small-capacity tubes are commonly used for eye products, while wider and longer tubes suit hand cream. We can recommend proportions after receiving the required filling volume.

Can I use my own Pantone color and logo?

Custom colors and private-label artwork are supported. A physical color sample is helpful when color accuracy is critical, and final color should be approved on a production sample.

How do I know whether my formula is compatible?

Share the formula characteristics with us first. The final decision should be based on compatibility and stability testing using the actual formula, selected tube and intended storage conditions.

How do you prevent leakage?

We review the tube head, cap fit, thread, sealing surface and bottom-seal requirements as a complete system. Samples should then be filled and tested by the buyer or filling partner under expected transport and shelf-life conditions.

Are free samples available?

Existing samples may be available for basic quality evaluation. Sample availability, customization cost and courier freight are confirmed case by case.

Can you quote immediately from a photo?

A photo is a useful start, but a firm quotation also needs capacity, dimensions or reference size, quantity, cap type, material, decoration, destination and trade term.

What should a first-time importer confirm before ordering?

Confirm the fill volume rather than only the tube’s outside dimensions; test the real formula; check compatibility with the filling and sealing equipment; approve color and artwork on a physical sample; and agree on inspection standards, packing, Incoterm and lead time in writing.
