120ml Empty Laminated Tubes
120ml empty laminated tubes are a versatile full-size packaging option for facial cleanser, face wash, cleansing foam, sunscreen, body lotion, hand cream, hair treatment and other daily-use personal-care products.
Xinfly Packaging manufactures custom 120ml ABL and PBL laminated tubes with custom diameter, finished length, barrier structure, closure, orifice, printing and surface finishes for cosmetic brands, OEM manufacturers and contract fillers.
What Is a 120ml Empty Laminated Tube?
A 120ml empty laminated tube is a finished squeeze-tube package manufactured from multilayer laminate and supplied without formula. The package can be customized for material, diameter, tube length, shoulder, closure, dispensing outlet, artwork and filling-line requirements.
Full-Size Capacity
120ml provides useful volume for products consumed regularly in daily skincare and personal-care routines.
ABL & PBL Options
Different barrier structures can be evaluated according to formula and package requirements.
Ready for Filling
Empty open-tail tubes can be supplied for downstream filling and final tail sealing.
Custom Configuration
Customize diameter, length, closure, outlet, printing and surface finish.
Why Choose 120ml Laminated Tubes?
120ml is particularly useful when 100ml is slightly too compact but a 150ml package would be larger than necessary. It provides a strong balance between daily-use volume, shelf presence and squeeze convenience.
Daily Cleansing
Well suited to face wash, cleansing cream, cleansing gel and foaming cleanser.
More Usable Volume
Provides 20% more nominal capacity than a 100ml format for frequently used products.
Strong Shelf Presence
Larger front-panel area supports branding and product communication.
Cross-Category Format
Suitable for skincare, sun care, body care and hair treatment.
120ml Empty Laminated Tube Specifications
120ml is the target capacity rather than one fixed tube dimension. Diameter and finished length can be adjusted to create different package proportions.

Easy Squeeze
Tube packaging supports convenient dispensing for gel, cream and foaming cleanser formulas.
Bathroom Friendly
Flip-top and stand-up closures can support convenient wet-environment usage.

10 Common Problems When Buying 120ml Laminated Tubes
Only Capacity Is Specified
The buyer requests 120ml without defining geometry.
Define the Finished Tube
Confirm diameter, length, shoulder, closure and headspace.
Tube Is Too Long
A narrow diameter creates unwanted proportions.
Compare Φ40 / Φ45 / Φ50
Select geometry before artwork development.
Wrong Material Is Selected
ABL or PBL is chosen without formula evaluation.
Review Formula First
Evaluate sensitivity, barrier, opacity and storage requirements.
Cleanser Flows Too Fast
The outlet is too large for a lower-viscosity formula.
Optimize the Orifice
Match outlet diameter to viscosity and dosage.
Thick Formula Is Hard to Dispense
A rich mask or treatment struggles through the outlet.
Review Flow & Squeeze Force
Balance orifice, laminate feel and tube geometry.
Flip-Top Leakage
The closure is not evaluated with the actual formula.
Validate Filled Package
Check fit, plug, leakage and intended storage orientation.
Artwork Enters Seal Area
Important text sits too close to the tube tail.
Define Artwork Safe Area
Coordinate graphics with final filling and sealing.
Filling-Line Mismatch
The tube does not fit existing filling equipment.
Confirm Machine Parameters
Review diameter, length, eye mark and tail seal.

Color, dimensions or closures change between orders.
