Custom Lotion Tube Manufacturer | Empty PE Squeeze Tubes

Empty PE lotion tubes in 75ml–250ml, custom printed for skincare and hair care brands.

Choosing a lotion tube supplier is more than a price check. Your tube must seal well, print cleanly, and look the same from the first order to the tenth. A weak supplier can mean leaking caps, color differences between batches, and missed launch dates.

First Beauty is a lotion tube manufacturer based in Jiangyin, China. We have more than eight years of experience in cosmetic packaging and have exported to over 30 countries. We supply empty lotion tubes in 75ml–250ml, made from PE, with flip top, screw, and acrylic caps. Our OEM lotion tube service covers custom colors, caps, and logo printing for skincare and hair care brands.

This guide is written for importers, distributors, wholesalers, and brand owners. It explains sizes, materials, caps, printing, MOQ, and supplier selection, so you can send a clear inquiry and compare quotations on equal terms.

What you can expect from our factory:

• OEM lotion tube packaging from our Jiangyin factory, with custom colors, caps, and logo printing
• Custom squeeze tubes for body lotion, hand cream, hair conditioner, and sunscreen
• Flip top and screw cap lotion tubes with silk screen or offset printing for your brand
• Wholesale empty lotion tubes made to your size, color, and decoration requirements

Lotion Tube Sizes and Capacities: 75ml to 250ml and Custom Volumes

Capacity affects tube diameter, cap choice, filling speed, and freight volume. Our current lotion tube range covers 75ml to 250ml. These are examples from our product line:

• 75ml empty scalp treatment squeeze tube: PE tube with a round screw cap, suited to scalp treatment, hair care cream, and skin care paste.
• 150g soft touch matte tube: PE tube with an acrylic diamond cap for hair conditioner and hair mask.
• Heat sealed empty lotion tubes: flexible PE tubes with a flip top cap for body serum, lotion, and gel.
• 250ml lotion tube: smooth flip top cap, matte blue color coating, and one-color silk screen printing.

Need a different volume? We can adjust the size to your project. A new tube diameter needs new mold development, so existing diameters usually start faster and cost less. Before you approve any size, confirm these points:

• Tube diameter and length, matched to your filling line
• Nominal capacity versus the real fill volume of your formula
• Cap type and neck compatibility
• Carton size and quantity per carton for freight planning

PE Squeeze Tubes for Lotion, Cream, Gel, and Body Serum

PE (polyethylene) is the standard material for flexible packaging in skincare. PE squeeze tubes are light, easy to squeeze, and cost-effective for bulk orders. They suit most lotions, creams, gels, and body serums. They also let your customer use almost all of the product.

Applications

• Body lotion and body serum: easy dispensing and a large surface for branding.
• Hand cream and skin cream: compact, portable formats for retail and travel.
• Hair conditioner and hair mask: larger capacities with premium caps.
• Sunscreen and gel products: choose the tube structure after testing your formula.

Barrier options for sensitive formulas

Standard PE works for many products. Some formulas react to air, light, or fragrance loss. Some sunscreens and active skincare products are examples. For these, ask about multi-layer PE, PCR recycled plastic, ABL (aluminum laminated), or PBL (plastic laminated) structures. Confirm availability for your size and project. Always test your formula with sample tubes before you place a bulk order.

Flip Top, Screw, and Acrylic Caps for Every Lotion Tube

The cap decides how your product is dispensed and how well it stays sealed. We offer these closures for each lotion tube:

• Flip top cap: easy one-hand use. A safe default for lotion, hand cream, and cleansers.
• Screw cap and round screw cap: a firm seal for scalp treatments, hair care cream, and body care.
• Acrylic cap: a decorative option, such as the diamond cap on our 150g tube, for premium hair care lines.

Match the cap to your product’s viscosity. Thick creams work well with wide openings. Thin gels and serums need tighter control. Test the cap with your own filling process and check leak resistance before mass production.

Custom Printing for Lotion Tubes: Silk Screen, Offset, and Color Coating

Printing and finish shape how your product looks on the shelf. Our custom lotion tube decoration options include:

• Silk screen printing: best for logos, text, and bold color graphics.
• Offset printing: best for detailed, multi-color artwork. Ask for printed samples of similar artwork.
• Color coating: solid matte or glossy colors on the tube body.
• Hot stamping and UV coating: metallic foil accents and a glossy protective finish.
• Pantone color matching: keeps tube and cap colors close to your brand standard.

You can combine several techniques on one tube. This improves the look, but it also adds cost and sampling time. Confirm the final combination before mass production.

Soft Touch Matte Lotion Tubes for Premium Skincare Packaging

A matte or soft touch finish makes a tube feel premium in the hand and helps resist fingerprints. Our 150g soft touch matte tube combines a PE body with an acrylic diamond cap. It supports custom printing and color customization.

For brands that want to move up-market without changing their formula, a soft touch lotion tube is a practical step. It improves shelf appeal while keeping the cost advantages of PE. Ask for a physical sample to check the surface feel and print quality before you decide.

Lotion Tubes for Hair Care: Conditioner, Hair Mask, and Scalp Treatment

Hair care brands often need larger capacities than skincare brands. Our hair care tubes range from 75ml to 150g and pair well with screw caps, flip top caps, or acrylic caps. The smooth tube surface supports both silk screen and offset printing.

Our 75ml scalp treatment tube with a round screw cap is a good example. It is designed for hair care brand OEM projects, where reliable sealing and clean branding matter most.

OEM and Private Label Lotion Tube Manufacturing for Cosmetic Brands

We support both OEM and ODM projects. With OEM, you supply the design and specifications. With ODM, our team helps develop the tube, from capacity and cap to decoration. Importers and distributors can also run private label programs with their own brand on standard tube formats.

Most custom projects follow this path:

1. Requirement discussion: share capacity, material, cap type, decoration, and quantity.
2. Design and color matching: confirm artwork, Pantone references, and mold needs.
3. Sampling: we make prototype tubes for your approval. Fast sampling helps you check color, print, and cap function early.
4. Mass production: the approved order enters production scheduling.
5. Quality inspection and shipping: finished tubes are checked before packing and export.

How to Choose the Right Lotion Tube Manufacturer

Price matters, but it should not be the only factor. Use this checklist when you compare a lotion tube manufacturer:

• Request samples. Test fit, seal, squeeze feel, and print quality with your own formula.
• Check the range. A supplier with several sizes, caps, and finishes gives you room to grow your line.
• Ask about decoration. Confirm that silk screen, offset, color coating, and Pantone matching are available in-house or through managed partners.
• Confirm communication. You need clear answers on specifications, timelines, and changes.
• Review export support. Ask about packing, shipping terms, and documents for your country.
• Check market rules. Labeling, recycling, and material rules differ in the EU, UK, and North America. Plan early.

Quality control you should ask about

Quality control for tubes usually covers three stages: raw material inspection, in-process checks for wall thickness, color, and print alignment, and pre-shipment inspection of finished tubes and caps. If you need third-party inspection or specific test reports, state this in your inquiry so we can confirm what is available for your order.

Lotion Tube Specifications: Material, Diameter, Cap Type, and MOQ

The table below summarizes the main options for our lotion tube range. Exact specifications can be adjusted for your project.

MOQ for custom lotion tubes

MOQ depends on tube design, mold needs, and decoration method. As a reference, our standard 30ml flip top hand cream tube starts at 10,000 pieces per color or design. Designs that use existing molds and simple decoration usually need lower quantities than fully custom shapes. For a trial or small-batch order, send us your design and target quantity so we can discuss the options for your project.

Lead time, packing, and export support

Lead time depends on whether your design uses an existing mold and on the decoration method. Include sampling and mold development in your launch schedule, and ask for a written timeline with your quotation. We pack tubes in export cartons to protect printing and caps during sea or air freight. Discuss shipping terms such as FOB or EXW early, along with the export documents your country requires.

MOQ depends on the design, mold, and decoration. Our standard 30ml hand cream tube starts at 10,000 pieces per design, and we confirm the MOQ for each lotion tube project in the quotation. Contact us for smaller trial orders.

3. Can you print my logo on the tubes?

Yes. We offer silk screen printing and offset printing, plus color coating, hot stamping, and UV coating. Pantone color matching helps keep your brand colors accurate.

4. Which cap is best for a lotion tube?
