Laminate Tubes for Sunscreen Packaging
Protect SPF formulations with high-barrier laminate sunscreen tubes engineered for UV filters, oils, fragrance components and active ingredients. Xinfly Packaging manufactures custom ABL and PBL sunscreen tubes with premium printing, soft-touch finishes, flip-top caps, screw caps and OEM/ODM customization.
Why Laminate Tubes Are Ideal for Sunscreen
Sunscreen formulas often contain UV filters, oils, solvents, fragrances and active ingredients that require better protection than a basic mono-layer tube can provide.
Laminate tubes combine multiple functional layers to improve oxygen, moisture, light and aroma barrier performance while maintaining the convenience and squeezability of conventional cosmetic tubes.
For SPF 30, SPF 50, mineral sunscreen, facial sunscreen and premium sun-care formulations, ABL and PBL tubes are widely used when formula protection, decoration quality and shelf stability are key priorities.

Organic UV filters, mineral UV filters and solvent systems can interact differently with tube materials. Formula-to-packaging compatibility testing is recommended.

High oil content or fragrance components may increase migration, odor transfer or layer interaction risk in unsuitable packaging.
