We primarily utilize Ø 16mm and Ø 19mm diameters to accommodate a wide range of volumes from 5ml to 20ml. Since the tube length is fully customizable, we can precision-cut each tube to match your specific formula density and desired fill level.

We also offer flexible small-batch options for specific custom projects.

How do I ensure the packaging is compatible with my formula?
We strongly recommend lab testing, especially for active ingredients. We provide the specific tube materials and applicator components you need (PE, PCR, ABL, Zinc Alloy, Ceramic, etc.) for your facility to conduct rigorous compatibility and stability tests before mass production.

As a direct manufacturer, we maintain strict control over our production schedule. Once the final artwork and pre-production samples are approved, our standard mass production lead time is typically 25 to 35 days.
