Let's be real—finding the perfect packaging for your ointment or cream can feel like a guessing game. You want something small enough to slip into a purse or pocket, durable enough to handle being tossed around, and customizable enough to show off your brand's personality. If you've been searching high and low for that sweet spot, look no further: our 12mm base HDPE tubes are exactly what you need.
Whether you're a startup skincare brand launching your first eye cream, a pharmaceutical company needing compact antibiotic ointment tubes, or a personal care brand looking for travel-sized lip balms, these tubes check all the boxes. And the best part? We're not just selling tubes—we're helping you tell your brand's story through packaging that stands out.
You might be wondering: why HDPE? Let's break it down simply. HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) is a type of plastic loved by brands and consumers alike for a bunch of reasons:
First, it's medical grade . That means it's safe for products touching sensitive skin or meeting strict health standards—like our medical grade plastic bottles, these tubes are perfect for pharmaceutical ointments and creams. HDPE doesn't react with most chemicals, so your formula stays exactly as intended, no matter how long it's stored.
Second, it's lightweight and durable . Unlike glass, HDPE tubes won't break if dropped (a huge plus for travel-sized products!). They're also super lightweight, so they don't add extra bulk to bags.
Third, it's recyclable . More consumers are choosing eco-friendly options, and HDPE is 100% recyclable. We even offer PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) HDPE options—part of our commitment to sustainable plastic packaging solutions.
And let's not forget: HDPE is affordable. You get all these benefits without breaking the bank, great for startups and small businesses.
The 12mm base size is a sweet spot for compact, portable products. Let's list popular uses:
No matter your product, our tubes are versatile enough to meet your needs. If you have something unique, just let us know—we'll customize them for you.
As a custom plastic bottle manufacturer, we believe packaging should be as unique as your brand. Here's what you can do:
Printing is easy to stand out. We offer:
Silk Screen: Bold, vibrant designs that won't fade or scratch—great for logos and ingredient lists.
Hot Stamping: Luxury metallic foils (gold, silver) for a high-end feel—perfect for elegant brands.
We print on entire tubes, caps, or small sections—our design team helps pick the best fit.
Add tactile flair: emboss (raise) or deboss (indent) your logo onto tubes or caps. Customers will recognize your product by touch alone.
Ditch plain white: we dye HDPE to any Pantone color. Bright pink for fun brands, matte black for luxury—we match your signature shade perfectly. Two-tone options are also available.
Need a unique cap or tube shape? Our team handles custom mold design for plastic bottles (and tubes!). We create 3D mockups, produce a custom mold, and offer free testing to ensure perfection before mass production.
| Volume | Cap Type | Printing Option | Material Grade | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5ml | Screw-on (child-resistant optional) | Silk Screen | Medical Grade | Antibiotic ointment, thick eye drops |
| 10ml | Flip-top (one-hand open) | Hot Stamping/Silk Screen | Medical/Personal Care | Eye cream, lip balm |

These are standard options—if you need something different, we'll customize it for you.
