Cosmetic tube packaging / 072-PAN-SLT
Custom 50 ml PE Flip-Top Tube for Cleanser and Hand Cream
Panpac branding concept based on the supplied reference. Approve the actual pack before production.
Product Overview
The 50 ml format gives face wash and hand cream a compact pack with a hinged cap. If both products will share a pack, approve each formula separately: what dispenses cleanly as a cream may flood the cap as a thin cleanser.
Use this format for face wash, hand cream, travel lotion. Check closing force with wet hands, hinge movement after repeated opening and residue at the dispensing orifice. Test cleanser and hand cream separately.
For a custom printing quote, send the target fill, artwork count and preferred finish together. This lets the sleeve, closure and decoration be reviewed as one pack before a printed sample is ordered.

For orders to Central Asia, Russia, the Middle East, Africa or Latin America, state the destination and any packaging document requirements when requesting a quote.
Quality & Material Test
Identify the PE sleeve and flip-top closure grades separately. Trial hinge action, plug fit and closure retention after repeated use.
| Material grade and contact parts | Confirm each component separately. Use food-contact or cosmetic-grade wording only if documentation supports the exact grade and intended use. |
|---|---|
| Material declarations and reports | Specify the exact construction, colour and batch or sample reference. Request available declarations or agree additional testing before ordering. |
| Heavy metals and migration | Agree the analytes or migration scope, sample configuration, test conditions and destination requirements first. Existing reports must cover the requested material or finished pack. |
| Appearance and functional approval | Inspect the sleeve, print, cap and applicable dispenser against the signed sample. Agree checks for leakage, dose, rubbing and closure fit as relevant. |
Surface Finishing Options
Proof the logo with the cap in its approved orientation so the mark reads correctly when the hinge faces back.
| Screen printing and hot foil | Review screen print for solid logos and text; request gold or silver foil proofing where the sleeve, print zone and artwork support it. |
|---|---|
| UV spray, frost and colour spray | Review available finishes for the actual sleeve or cap substrate. Confirm flex, adhesion and appearance on a formed sample. |
| Electroplating and embossing | Consider only for a suitable component. Confirm plating or metallisation method for the cap; moulded relief may require new tooling. Avoid assuming the same process fits a flexible sleeve. |
Packaging & Shipment
Protect the hinge and keep closure tabs closed during packing.
| Individual protection and inner boxes | Quote individual PP bags where suitable for the finish, plus inner boxes or dividers for decorated sleeves and caps. Confirm counts and whether closures ship fitted or separately. |
|---|---|
| Export cartons and pallet option | Agree export carton strength, pack orientation, pallet pattern if required, and outer labels by SKU and artwork. |
| Sea shipment preparation | Agree moisture protection and handling for the intended route. Review a packed sample for rubbing, deformation or damage under the proposed stack. |
Buying Notes
| Sample policy and timing | Ask for separate dates and charges for stock samples, decorated pre-production samples and samples requiring a new mould. |
|---|---|
| MOQ tiers | Request tiers per size, sleeve or cap colour and artwork. Ask which combinations can share a production run. |
| Custom tooling | Confirm stock tooling versus a new mould, drawing approval, trial schedule, ownership and maintenance in the quote. |
| Colour and artwork | Send vector artwork, colour references and the current dieline. Agree print-safe areas and an assembled colour sample before release. |
| Lead time and warranty | Agree when production lead time starts, the dispatch window, the approved inspection standard and the written claim or replacement terms. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the same flip-top closure work for cleanser and cream?
Possibly. The dispensing opening and closure fit must be checked against both formulas and the expected dose.
What should a 50 ml tube sample include?
Ask for the actual sleeve, shoulder and hinged closure planned for production. A blank sleeve with a substitute cap cannot establish closure fit.
What should I send with my RFQ?
Quote reference 072-PAN-SLT. Include the target fill, quantity per artwork, formula type, filling method and destination country. State any required documents and delivery date so sample and production schedules can be quoted separately.
