Cosmetic tube packaging / 076-PAN-SLT
Custom Red PE Foundation and Primer Tube

Panpac branding concept based on the supplied reference. Approve the actual pack before production.
Product Overview
The red PE sleeve is designed for a colour cosmetics range where the artwork and small outlet both matter. Test the darkest or most highly pigmented shade first so you can see staining, buildup and any mismatch at the closure.
Use this format for liquid foundation, makeup primer, tinted base. Check whether pigments build up around the dispensing tip. Compare printed red against an approved shade and inspect ink after repeated squeezing.
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.

Applications

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
Confirm the PE grade and colour masterbatch. Use the darkest production formula in a filled trial to check staining around the nozzle.
| 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 an opaque logo on the red sleeve; inspect contrast, flex the printed area and check for transfer to the carton.
| 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
Group shades and artwork variants in separately identified inner boxes.
| 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
How do I prevent the nozzle from dispensing too much foundation?
Test opening size and squeeze response using the production viscosity range, including after storage.
Should I approve the same nozzle for every shade?
Only after representative shades pass a filled trial. Differences in flow or pigment load can change the way the outlet behaves.
What should I send with my RFQ?
Quote reference 076-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.
