TU12 OEM Flip-Top Cosmetic Tube for Cream and Gel Products

Designed with functionality at its core, this tube makes application clean, easy, and consistent—without compromising on performance.

Flip-Top Closure Integration

A built-in flip-top cap enables one-handed operation—making it especially convenient for consumers during skincare routines. The integrated hinge helps prevent cap loss and adds to user convenience while maintaining a clean dispensing nozzle. This also supports better product hygiene by limiting external contact.

PE & PP Material Pairing

• 
  ● PE (Polyethylene) tube body: Flexible and squeezable, it responds well to light pressure, making dispensing smooth and efficient. It's chemically resistant, which helps maintain formula integrity over time.
• ● PP (Polypropylene) cap: Offers rigidity and durability, ensuring the closure system remains secure through repeated use. It also improves product shelf life by minimizing oxygen exposure when closed.
• Both materials are thermoplastics widely accepted in recycling streams, making them a viable choice for brands moving toward more eco-aware solutions.

“By 2026, over 60% of beauty and personal care packaging is expected to transition toward recyclable monomaterial formats, with PE/PP combinations leading the charge.” — Packaging Europe, 2023

This tube doesn’t just sit pretty—it’s designed to work harder on the shelf and in the hand.

Maximized Branding Area

Unlike round tubes, this elliptical design maximizes the front-facing surface for high-impact branding while staying compact in width. This wider display zone helps brands present ingredient claims, usage steps, or certifications more effectively—without cluttering the visual layout. Plus, its shape makes it more stable and less likely to roll on flat surfaces like vanities or counters.

The TU12 model is purpose-built for skincare and personal care categories that demand clean, consistent dispensing of medium-viscosity formulas. Its structural flexibility suits a range of common cosmetic applications.

Supports Medium Viscosity Formulas

Whether it's facial cleanser, sunscreen, body lotion, or exfoliating cream, the tube’s PE body can handle repeated squeezing without deforming. Its nozzle and body stiffness are calibrated to allow a smooth flow of creams, gels, or milks—offering users a neat application experience every time. The neck and orifice are standard-compatible with most medium-viscosity formulas, supporting smooth flow and reduced residue.

Beyond its structure, this tube is fully adaptable. Topfeel offers multiple customization options that align with the product's strengths—helping brands fine-tune it for formula compatibility, usage scenarios, and sustainability goals.

Volume Range Options

This tube can be customized across 80ml to 150ml capacities, making it suitable for both full-size and travel-size SKUs.

Cap Design Flexibility

• ● Custom orifice sizes to optimize for product texture and flow rate
• ● Optional tamper-evident seals for regulated markets
• ● Thread compatibility for alternative cap shapes or locking mechanisms

These small changes can make a big difference in how the product performs and how consumers perceive its value.

Tube Structure Adaptation

● Wall thickness and barrier properties can be adjusted to meet formula sensitivity and environmental exposure needs.

● Options for single or multi-layer structures allow brands to address shelf-life concerns while balancing cost.

● For formulations sensitive to light or oxygen, barrier-enhanced layers are available using EVOH co-extrusion or similar tech, depending on the desired preservation profile.

“Consumers are becoming more ingredient-aware, with 72% checking product packaging for functional claims and formula protection features.” — Mintel Global Packaging Trends, 2022
