50ml Empty Laminated Tubes
50ml empty laminated tubes are a versatile retail packaging format for face cream, moisturizer, sunscreen, hand cream, facial cleanser, BB & CC cream, treatment cream and other cosmetic and personal-care products.
Xinfly Packaging manufactures custom 50ml ABL and PBL laminated tubes with flexible diameter, laminate structure, closure, orifice, printing and surface-finish options for cosmetic brands, OEM factories and contract fillers.
What Is a 50ml Empty Laminated Tube?
A 50ml empty laminated tube is a finished squeeze-tube package manufactured from laminate material and supplied without product inside. The tube can be customized for diameter, finished length, shoulder, closure, dispensing orifice, artwork and filling-line requirements.
Retail-Friendly Capacity
50ml provides a practical balance between daily-use product volume, portability and shelf presentation.
ABL or PBL
Choose the laminate structure according to formula protection, appearance and compatibility requirements.
Ready for Filling
Empty tubes can be supplied open at the tail for downstream product filling and final sealing.
Fully Customizable
Customize tube geometry, closure, outlet, printing, finish and brand presentation.
Why Brands Choose 50ml Laminated Tubes
50ml is particularly useful for full-size facial skincare and premium personal-care products where the brand needs more product volume than compact 30ml or 40ml formats without moving to a large tube.
Full-Size Skincare
Useful for face creams, moisturizers, treatments and daily skincare.
Daily Sun Care
Suitable for many facial and portable sunscreen concepts.
Strong Shelf Presence
Offers useful front-facing artwork space without becoming oversized.
Multiple Categories
One capacity can support skincare, makeup, hand care and treatment ranges.
50ml Empty Laminated Tube Specifications
50ml describes the target filling volume rather than one fixed tube dimension. Diameter, finished length, shoulder, closure and headspace must be engineered around the actual packaging project.

|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 50 ml | Confirm target fill and required headspace. |
| Diameter | Φ30 / Φ35 / Φ40 mm direction | Changes tube length, appearance and squeeze feel. |
| Material | ABL / PBL | Select according to formula and barrier requirements. |
| Closure | Screw / flip-top / stand-up / nozzle / premium | Match formula viscosity and intended consumer use. |
| Orifice | 1.5 / 3 / 5 mm reference | Match formula flow and required dosage. |
| Printing | Offset / silk screen / hot stamping | Approve appearance on the converted tube. |
| Finish | Matte / glossy / selected soft-touch | Consider tactile feel and decoration adhesion. |
| Supply Condition | Empty / open-tail | Coordinate with downstream filling and sealing. |

10 Common Problems When Buying 50ml Laminated Tubes
50ml Is Treated as a Fixed Size

Wrong Diameter
The tube looks too long or too wide.
Compare Φ30 / 35 / 40
Review visual proportion and filling-line fit.
ABL or PBL Chosen Too Early
Material is selected before formula review.
Start with Formula Requirements
Define barrier, opacity and compatibility first.
Tube Feels Too Hard
Structure and thickness create poor squeeze feel.
Balance Structure & Usability
Review laminate, diameter and desired squeeze behavior.
Wrong Orifice
Product flows too quickly or is difficult to dispense.
Match Outlet to Formula
Test viscosity, dosage and squeeze force.
Closure Leakage
Cap fit is not validated as a complete system.
Validate Tube + Closure
Review thread, plug, shoulder and transport conditions.
Artwork Distortion
Flat artwork changes after tube conversion.
Approve Finished Tube Samples
Review seam, color and visual balance physically.

Create a Master Standard
Lock material, dimensions, colors, closure and artwork.
