Serum Tubes

Precision Applicators

Equipped with specialized applicator types including pen-type dispensers, brush applicators, roll-on balls, or massage heads for targeted application

Airless Pump Technology

Available in airless soft tube designs with vacuum pump dispensers that eliminate air exposure completely, preserving sensitive active ingredients while providing consistent dispensing from first use to last drop without product contamination.

Controlled Dispensing

Feature precise dosage control mechanisms that minimize product waste and ensure consistent application amounts for concentrated formulations

Hygienic Design

Non-reactive and hypoallergenic materials with sealed dispensing systems that prevent contamination and maintain product sterility

Cooling Effects

Many incorporate metal rollerball applicators that provide soothing, cooling sensations while enhancing blood circulation and product absorption

Lip Gloss Squeeze Tube

Precision Dispensing

Features small circular opening at tip that allows controlled product flow when tube is gently squeezed

Flexible Construction

Made from soft, squeezable PE or laminated materials with excellent recovery properties, allowing users to control dispensing pressure while maintaining tube shape and structural integrity after repeated use

Hygienic Application

Sealed small-hole system prevents contamination and air exposure while ensuring consistent product flow, with easy-to-clean tip surface that maintains sterility and prevents clogging or product buildup around opening

Quality Tests for Soft Tubes

Seal Integrity Testing

Comprehensive pressure testing using compressed air to evaluate tube seal strength and detect potential leaks. Tests involve applying controlled pressure from 2-6 bars to ensure seals withstand transport and handling conditions without product contamination or leakage.

Leak Testing

Vacuum decay method placing tubes in vacuum chambers to identify micro-leaks invisible to visual inspection. This test achieves 98% leak detection accuracy compared to 75% for visual methods, ensuring product safety and brand reputation protection.

Tube Sealing Test

Evaluates heat-sealed tube tail integrity using both positive and negative pressure methods. Positive pressure tests compressive capacity while negative pressure involves water immersion under vacuum to detect bubble formation indicating compromised seals.

Decoration Peeling Test

Assesses adhesion strength of printed designs, labels, and surface treatments through controlled peeling forces. Tests measure initial adhesion performance, stickiness, and peel strength to ensure decorative elements remain intact throughout product lifecycle and consumer use.

Alcohol Resistance Test

Chemical compatibility testing exposing tubes to alcohol-based formulations to evaluate material degradation, discoloration, or structural compromise. Essential for products containing high alcohol concentrations that could cause plastic breakdown or container deformation over time.

Heat Resistance Test

Thermal stability evaluation exposing filled tubes to elevated temperatures (typically 48°C) for extended periods. Tests assess material integrity, seal performance, and product compatibility under various storage and shipping conditions without compromising tube functionality.

Cap Opening Force Test

Mechanical testing measuring force required to open screw caps and flip-top closures. Tests ensure caps provide secure sealing while remaining easily operable for consumers, typically measuring both opening torque and closure retention strength.

Dimensional Testing

Comprehensive measurement of tube diameter, length, and orifice specifications using precision instruments. Ensures tubes meet exact dimensional tolerances for proper filling equipment compatibility, cap fit, and overall packaging system integration requirements.

Thickness Measurement

Precision dimensional testing using specialized equipment to measure tube wall thickness consistency. Critical for ensuring adequate barrier properties, squeeze functionality, and material distribution uniformity throughout the tube body for optimal performance and appearance.

Barrier Property Testing

Water vapor transmission rate and oxygen permeability testing evaluating protective capabilities of multi-layer tube constructions. Critical for products requiring extended shelf life, measuring barrier effectiveness of EVOH layers and aluminum laminates.
