PLASTIC TUBE

PLASTIC TUBE

1. Core Functions

• Protection: Shields the lipstick core from external factors such as moisture, dust, temperature changes, and physical damage to maintain its texture and quality.

• Sealing: Prevents the lipstick from drying out or oxidizing by ensuring a tight seal between the tube body and the cap.

• Usability: Features a smooth twisting or sliding mechanism (twist-up, push-up) for easy extension and retraction of the lipstick, enabling convenient application.

2. Main Materials

• Plastics: The most commonly used material, including ABS (durable, glossy), PP (lightweight, chemical-resistant), and PC (high impact strength). Suitable for mass-produced, cost-effective lipstick tubes.

• Metals: Such as aluminum and zinc alloy. Offer a premium texture, excellent durability, and are often used for high-end or luxury lipstick packaging.

• Glass: Rarely used alone but sometimes combined with metal/plastic for a unique, elegant look. It provides good transparency but is heavy and fragile.

3. Structural Components

A standard lipstick tube typically consists of three main parts:

• Cap: The top cover that protects the lipstick tip. It may have internal liners (like foam or felt) for enhanced sealing and can be customized with logos or patterns.

• Tube Body: The outer shell that houses the lipstick core. It is connected to the mechanism for extending the product.

• Mechanism: The internal structure (usually a screw or rack-and-pinion system) that controls the upward and downward movement of the lipstick core when the user twists the bottom or tube.

4. Surface Finishing & Decoration

Surface treatments are crucial for enhancing the visual appeal and brand recognition:

• Coating: Includes matte coating, glossy coating, and soft-touch coating (for a smooth, velvety feel).

• Printing: Techniques like screen printing, digital printing, and hot stamping (using gold, silver, or other metallic foils) to add logos, patterns, or product information.

• Other Processes: Embossing (creating raised designs), debossing (creating recessed designs), and vacuum plating (achieving a metallic or iridescent effect).

5. Design Trends

• Minimalism: Clean lines, simple color schemes (black, white, nude), and subtle logo embossing are popular for a modern, sophisticated look.

• Sustainability: Rising demand for eco-friendly packaging, such as tubes made from recycled plastics, biodegradable materials, or refillable designs (allowing users to replace the lipstick core without discarding the tube).

• Customization & Novelty: Unique shapes (e.g., square, hexagonal, curved), transparent windows (to showcase the lipstick color), and interactive elements (e.g., magnetic caps, detachable charms) to attract consumers.
