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…

Cosmetic tube manufacturers prevent color shifting between production batches by controlling the full color system, not just the pigment itself. In practice, this means using a stable color masterbatch, keeping the same carrier resin and let-down ratio, measuring color with…
Silk screen printing usually peels off from matte-finished cosmetic tubes because the matte surface makes ink adhesion more difficult. In most cases, the problem is not the silk screen process alone. It is the combination of low surface energy, matte…
For complex cosmetic tube artwork, offset printing is usually the better choice. If your design includes gradients, photographic effects, fine details, multiple colors, soft shadows, or very small text, offset printing generally delivers a cleaner and more accurate result than…
