Ink smudging or bleeding on PE tubes during the automated filling and sealing process usually happens because the printed ink has not fully bonded, fully cured, or fully resisted the heat, friction, pressure, and contamination generated on the production line.…
In most cosmetic packaging projects, matte finish hides transport scratches better than glossy finish, while pearlized finish usually sits in the middle. Glossy surfaces tend to show scratches, dents, and surface imperfections more clearly because they reflect light more directly.…

Hot stamping foil sometimes cracks or flakes around the crimping area because that part of the tube experiences the highest mechanical stress during sealing, folding, and repeated squeezing. Even if the foil looks perfect right after decoration, the crimping zone…
To achieve a flawless gold foil hot stamping effect on a pearlized white tube surface, manufacturers must control the full stamping system rather than focusing on foil color alone. A premium result depends on the compatibility between the foil and…
The main limitations of flexographic printing on small-diameter 16mm–19mm lip gloss tubes are reduced fine-detail performance, higher registration difficulty, and a greater risk of visible print defects on the curved surface. On very small tubes, the printable area is narrow,…
When you pick packaging for your cosmetics, you want something that works for your product and your brand. PE squeeze tubes lead the way in the market, holding about 68% of the cosmetic packaging share by 2025. Why do so…
To achieve photo-realistic images with digital printing on cosmetic tubes, the artwork must be designed specifically for curved packaging, high-resolution output, and the real print behavior of the tube surface. A beautiful image on a flat computer screen can lose…
Corona treatment is a surface-activation process used to improve the printability of PE squeeze tubes. It works by exposing the plastic surface to a high-voltage electrical discharge, which increases the surface energy of the tube and makes it easier for…
