Lotion Tubes For Everyday Care
Lotion Tubes help brands pack creams, lotions, gels, and body products in a handy squeeze format. They keep formulas sealed, easy to dispense, and simple for customers to use every day. Lotion Tubes work well for hand cream, body lotion, after-sun gel, foot creams, and travel minis. Many beauty and skincare teams also explore our Empty Lipgloss Tubes for related styles and ideas across lip and face product lines.
The tube body supports full-colour artwork as well as clean, minimal layouts. Users simply flip the cap, squeeze, and close again. This helps reduce product waste and keeps sinks, bags, and counters cleaner. Empty squeeze designs are easy to fill on production lines and stay consistent in shape, so they stack well in cartons and on shelves.
Lotion Tubes can be paired with outer Paper Tubes or Thick Paper Tubes if you want to create gift sets or special edition packaging. Some brands even nest tubes in 1 cardboard tubes style mailers or Bulk cardboard tubes for added shipping protection or retail presentation.
Main advantages of Lotion Tubes include:
-
Lightweight for shipping and travel
-
Controlled squeeze dispensing
-
Secure flip-top or screw caps
-
Flat or stand-up options for shelves
-
Branding-friendly print area front and back
Empty lotion tubes for face cream can sit next to SPF, cleansers, and serums without taking up much space. Cardboard Tubes 4 Inch diameter can also be used as outer containers for sets that include Lotion Tubes and other skincare items.
