What are the classifications of cosmetic soft tubes?

Cosmetic soft tubes have the characteristics of light weight, easy to carry, strong and durable, recyclable, easy to squeeze, good processing performance and printing adaptability, etc., and are favored by many cosmetics manufacturers. So what are the classifications of cosmetic soft tubes?

At present, plastic soft tubes commonly used in cosmetic packaging mainly include aluminum-plastic composite soft tubes, all-plastic composite soft tubes and plastic co-extrusion soft tubes, which can meet various needs of cosmetic packaging, such as hygiene and barrier properties

1. Aluminum-plastic composite soft tube

Aluminum-plastic composite soft tube is a kind of packaging container made of aluminum foil and plastic film through co-extrusion composite process, and then processed into a tube shape by a special tube making machine. Its typical structure is PE/PE+EAA/AL/PE+EAA/PE. The aluminum-plastic composite soft tube is mainly used for packaging cosmetics with high requirements on hygiene and barrier properties. The barrier layer is generally aluminum foil, and its barrier properties depend on the pinhole degree of the aluminum foil.

2. All-plastic composite soft tube

All-plastic composite soft tubes are all plastic components, which are divided into two types: all-plastic non-barrier composite soft tubes and all-plastic barrier composite soft tubes. All-plastic non-barrier composite soft tube is generally used for the packaging of low-grade fast-consuming cosmetics; all-plastic barrier composite soft tube is usually used for medium and low-grade cosmetic packaging due to the side seam in the tube making, and the barrier layer can be EVOH, PVDC, oxide coating.

3. Plastic co-extrusion soft tube

Plastic co-extrusion soft tubes use co-extrusion technology to co-extrude raw materials of different properties and types together and form at one time. Plastic co-extrusion soft tubes are divided into single-layer extrusion soft tubes and multi-layer co-extrusion soft tubes. The former is mainly used for fast-consuming cosmetics (such as hand creams, etc.) that have high requirements on appearance and low actual performance requirements. Packaging, the latter is mainly used for high-end cosmetic packaging.

Advantages of plastic soft tubes commonly used in cosmetic packaging

The plastic soft tube is hygienic and convenient to use, and its surface is bright and beautiful, so it has been widely used in the packaging of paste cosmetics, such as the packaging of facial cleanser, conditioner, hair dye, toothpaste and other products in the cosmetics industry, as well as in the pharmaceutical industry. Packaging of creams, ointments and other external medicines. The plastic soft tube is economical and convenient to pack, easy to carry, and can return to its original shape and maintain a good appearance even with high-intensity all-over extrusion.
