In the cosmetics industry, packaging plays an important role. Your product will get the customer’s attention and entice them to buy it. Paper tube packaging may be the perfect choice if you are a cosmetics company looking for an eco-friendly packaging option.
1. What is cosmetic paper tube packaging?
In the paper packaging industry, paper tube packaging is becoming more and more popular. As an alternative packaging to cartons and plastic packaging, paper tube packaging can provide perfect protection for customers’ products from damage and defects during transportation and storage. In addition, the material of the paper tube packaging is environmentally friendly.
Nowadays, paper tube packaging is widely used in various industries including cosmetic packaging. It’s a great sustainable option for shipping cosmetics and protecting products from damage.
2. The advantages of cosmetic paper tube packaging
Paper tubes can be used to pack cosmetics in small sizes and small volumes. The advantages are very obvious. This kind of packaging is the easiest to make and saves time. It can not only protect valuable cosmetics well but also play a good role in protection… It still gives people a good aesthetic effect, which means a good marketing effect. This form of box is popular in a large number of cases and can even serve as the basis for a general solution for a product line. These bags can also be used with other forms to obtain a large number of combinations for different purposes.
Paper tubes are an excellent choice for repackaging some traditionally wasted cosmetics due to these four advantages.
1) Reduce plastic waste
Especially with plastic bans on the horizon, brands are scrambling to find sustainable alternatives. It’s surprising how much plastic is used in cosmetic tubes! Plastic waste from cosmetic products is largely caused by the mechanism used to push the product to the top of the tube. Paper tubes, on the other hand, use a push-up mechanism and require no additional material. Plus, since they’re made from natural materials, these tubes are compostable!
2) Longer lasting
Because the paper tube requires less space for the twisting mechanism, the product inside has more room! You even get more product at the bottom of the tube! That last bit of lip balm you’ve never quite touched before? Push it to the top!
3) Harder to lose
Have you ever reached for your lip balm only to find it lost somewhere? We’ve been there. Since the paper tubes use the push-up option, they need to be a little larger to accommodate the space needed to make the mechanism work. Larger balms are harder to lose, but the tube is more likely to break if lost!
4) Different structure options
When we talk about push-up packs, you’re probably thinking of something closer to a Push-Pop; cylindrical, something you push from the bottom up. But there are different styles of paper tubes to choose from. They use a flat, toothpaste-like tube that allows you to squeeze the product out instead of pushing it out! This shape saves more space than traditional cylindrical tubes while still using eco-friendly materials!
3. Which brands need paper tube packaging
In addition to the well-known brand Procter & Gamble, more brands have shifted from packaging to full paper packaging. As a paper packaging solution, custom paper tubes are more suitable for the following brands:
