OEM Empty Laminated Tubes
Develop OEM empty laminated tubes for cosmetics, skincare, sunscreen, toothpaste and personal-care products with Xinfly Packaging.
Our OEM service covers the packaging development process from ABL or PBL material selection, capacity and diameter, closure and dispensing design to artwork, printing, sampling, mass production and quality control.
What Are OEM Empty Laminated Tubes?
OEM empty laminated tubes are customized packaging manufactured to a buyer's agreed specifications and supplied empty for downstream filling and final tail sealing. Instead of purchasing only a generic tube, the buyer can develop the material, dimensions, closure, appearance and production specification around the intended product.
ABL / PBL Selection
Choose a laminate structure according to formula, barrier and visual requirements.
Custom Tube Size
Define filling capacity, diameter, length, shoulder and package proportions.
Closure & Outlet
Coordinate cap style and outlet with viscosity and consumer dispensing needs.
Custom Decoration
Develop artwork, printing, colors, hot stamping and surface finish.
OEM Laminated Tubes vs Standard Empty Tubes
OEM manufacturing is useful when the package must be coordinated with a specific formula, filling line, brand identity or multi-SKU commercial program.
| Requirement | Standard Empty Tube | OEM Empty Laminated Tube |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Existing standard structure | ABL / PBL selected for project requirements |
| Capacity | Existing available format | Developed around target filling volume |
| Diameter / Length | Standard configuration | Coordinated with desired package proportions |
| Closure | Existing standard cap | Selected according to dispensing and design needs |
| Printing | Plain or limited | Custom brand artwork and decoration |
| Surface Finish | Standard | Glossy, matte or selected soft-touch direction |
| Filling Line | Buyer adapts where necessary | Tube dimensions can be reviewed against filling requirements |
| Repeat Orders | Standard item reference | Approved project specification used as production reference |
From Packaging Requirement to Mass Production
A structured OEM development process helps align the formula, tube, closure, artwork and filling requirements before commercial production begins.

Material Selection
Evaluate ABL or PBL according to barrier, appearance and formula requirements.
Tube Size

Mass Production
Proceed with printing, tube conversion, heading, assembly and manufacturing.
QC & Shipping
Inspect the finished empty tubes and prepare them for commercial shipment.

Coordinate overall length with filling volume and final sealing requirements.
Eye Mark
Position the registration mark according to filling-line orientation requirements.
Tail Seal Area
Protect critical artwork and decoration from the final sealing zone.
10 Problems an OEM Tube Manufacturer Should Help Solve
OEM manufacturing should reduce packaging uncertainty, not simply reproduce a buyer's drawing without checking how the complete tube system will perform.
Buyer Does Not Know ABL or PBL
The packaging project begins without a defined laminate structure.
Start from the Formula
Review formula type, barrier direction, appearance and use scenario before recommending a material direction.
Capacity Is Known but Diameter Is Not
The buyer only knows the required filling volume.
Develop Package Proportions
Compare suitable diameter and length combinations according to product positioning and filling requirements.
Formula Is Too Thick for the Outlet
A small outlet creates difficult dispensing.
Match Outlet to Viscosity
Review dispensing behavior and choose an outlet direction suitable for the product.
Artwork Does Not Fit the Tube
Graphics are designed before final dimensions are confirmed.
Provide Final Production Dieline
Prepare artwork after tube diameter and length have been approved.
Hot Stamping Cracks at the Tail
Decoration is placed inside the sealing area.
Protect the Tail-Seal Zone
Keep mechanically sensitive decoration away from areas exposed to sealing stress.
Printing Adhesion Is Weak
Surface finish and printing process are not coordinated.
Validate the Decoration System
Review surface treatment, coating, ink and decoration compatibility before mass production.
Tube Does Not Match Filling Equipment
Packaging is developed without considering the production line.
Review Filling-Line Requirements
Confirm relevant tube dimensions, eye mark and tail-sealing conditions before bulk production.
Multi-SKU Range Becomes Complicated
Every product uses a different tube platform.
Standardize Components
Where practical, share diameters, closures or visual systems across related SKUs.
Shipping Causes Deformation
Tube dimensions and packing are not evaluated for transport.
Plan Export Packing
Use suitable packing arrangements to help protect tube shape and printed surfaces during transportation.
Repeat Orders Look Different
Approved production details are not clearly controlled.
Lock the Approved Specification
Maintain material, dimensions, artwork, colors, closure and finish as repeat-order references.
