Analysis of the Sealing and Safety of Cosmetic Squeeze Tube Packaging
Release time:
Oct 21,2025
In the cosmetics industry, packaging is not only crucial for visual presentation but also directly impacts product shelf life and safety. Due to their lightweight, durable, and easy-to-squeeze properties, cosmetic squeeze tubes are widely used in products such as skin creams, facial cleansers, sunscreens, toothpaste, and makeup. The sealing and safety of tube packaging are crucial factors in ensuring consistent cosmetic quality and a positive consumer experience.
Primarily, sealing is a primary consideration in cosmetic squeeze tube design. A well-designed seal effectively prevents air, moisture, and bacteria from entering the tube, preventing product oxidation, deterioration, or contamination. Typically, cosmetic squeeze tubes utilize multi-layer composite structures, such as PE and EVOH, to enhance barrier properties. The EVOH layer effectively blocks oxygen permeation, thereby extending the product's shelf life. The tight fit between the tube opening and the cap is equally crucial. Whether using screw caps, flip-top caps, or pump tips, the design of the seal or buckle must ensure a tight fit to prevent liquid leakage and air ingress.
Secondly, safety is directly related to consumer health and brand reputation. The materials used in cosmetic squeeze tubes must meet safety standards for cosmetic packaging and contain no harmful substances, such as heavy metals, plasticizers, or easily migrating chemicals. High-quality manufacturers select food-grade materials that meet FDA and EU standards to ensure long-term skin contact. Furthermore, during the production process, problems such as residual solvents, uneven heat sealing, and material aging must be avoided, as these can compromise packaging strength and even lead to leakage.
During transportation and use, the tubes must also possess excellent pressure and abrasion resistance. If the tubes are too thin or the seals are not secure, they may break during long-distance transportation or high-temperature storage. To enhance overall safety, some manufacturers, such as FRHE, utilize high-precision molds and automated welding processes to effectively improve seal strength and consistency. Furthermore, they undergo multiple quality inspections, including pressure testing, drop testing, and temperature resistance testing, to ensure that each tube maintains stable performance under diverse conditions.
The sealing and safety of cosmetic squeeze tube packaging depend not only on the material selection but also on the combined impact of design, structure, and manufacturing process. Only with excellent sealing performance and strict safety standards can cosmetic packaging truly achieve the balance between beauty and practicality. We consistently adhere to high standards in packaging research and development, leveraging advanced technology and rigorous testing procedures to provide brand clients with safe and reliable cosmetic squeeze tube solutions, helping their products stand out in the market.
