Application & Use Cases

Applications for Eye Cream & Eye Serum Tubes

Our eye cream tubes are designed for various eye-care formulas, from light serums to rich anti-aging creams. We help you match the right applicator and tube structure to your formula and brand positioning.

Anti-puffiness eye serum tubes

Anti-puffiness & Dark Circle Serums

Cooling metal ball and massage applicators are ideal for anti-puffiness serums with caffeine, peptides, or botanical extracts. We recommend soft tubes with smaller orifices for controlled dosage.

Retinol eye cream tubes

Retinol & Anti-Aging Eye Creams

Active ingredients such as retinol and niacinamide may need barrier protection. We suggest ABL or PE+EVOH structures with premium metal or ceramic applicators for high-end anti-aging lines.

Hydrating eye gel tubes

Hydrating Eye Gels & Brightening Essences

Lightweight gel textures and brightening essences work well with ceramic or zinc-alloy cooling tips. We help adjust tube softness and applicator hole size according to viscosity.

How to Match Eye Formulas with the Right Tube & Applicator

Eye-care packaging is not only about appearance. It must be safe, comfortable to use, and stable during storage. We work with your R&D and packaging team to recommend structures and heads that fit your formula and market:

  • Light gel / serum → softer tubes + smaller orifices + cooling metal or ceramic heads.
  • Richer creams → medium-soft tubes + larger orifices for easier squeezing.
  • High-active formulas → barrier ABL or PE+EVOH tubes for better protection.

Tube Structure & Materials

Tube Structure Options for Eye Care Products

Different eye-care formulas require different protection, flexibility, and barrier properties. We provide a full range of tube structures and eco-friendly options for eye creams and serums.

PE soft tube structure

PE Soft Tube

Standard PE soft tubes for light eye creams and gels. Comfortable squeezing, good flexibility, and suitable for most mass-market products.

  • • Suitable for light to medium viscosity.
  • • Cost-effective for large volume projects.
  • • Widely used in daily skincare lines.
PE EVOH barrier tube

PE + EVOH Barrier Tube

Multi-layer PE+EVOH structure for eye-care formulas containing active ingredients such as retinol, peptides, and vitamin C, requiring better barrier performance.

  • • Suitable for high-value eye formulas.
  • • Helps extend product stability and shelf life.
  • • Ideal for premium and dermo-cosmetic brands.
ABL and PBL tube structure

ABL & PBL Tubes

ABL tubes provide strong barrier protection with aluminum layer, while PBL tubes offer a premium seamless look for high-end eye essences and luxury eye-care ranges.

  • • PBL: for premium feel and improved appearance.
  • • Suitable for flagship eye-care product lines.

Eco-Friendly Materials for Eye Care

For brands focusing on sustainability, we offer PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) and sugarcane-based tubes while keeping good appearance and functionality for eye-care products.

  • PCR content adjustable according to your market and brand claims.
  • Sugarcane-based PE tubes for “bio-based” or “green” positioning.
  • Decoration and color can still match high-end packaging standards.

Recommended Sizes for Eye Cream Tubes

Based on our experience with global eye-care brands, the following diameters, capacities, and orifice sizes are the most commonly used and practical for eye cream and eye serum packaging.

Tube Diameter & Capacity

  • D16mm — 5–10ml, ideal for samples and travel-size eye serums.
  • D19mm — 10–20ml, the most common size for retail eye creams.
  • D22mm — 15–30ml, suitable for richer textures or multi-functional eye creams.

Orifice Size & Tube Softness

  • Orifice 1.0mm — for very light serums and liquids, precise and clean dispensing.
  • Orifice 1.5mm — for standard eye creams and gels used in most eye-care products.
  • Orifice 2.0mm — for thicker textures or products with particles.

Tube hardness (soft / medium / hard) can also be adjusted according to your formula's viscosity. We can provide recommendations after learning about your product texture.

Not Sure Which Size to Choose?

If this is your first eye-care line or you are changing to new packaging, we can suggest standard sizes and structures based on your target market, channel, and formula type. This helps reduce trial-and-error costs and speeds up your product launch.

FAQ

Eye Cream Tube Purchasing Guide – FAQ

We collected common questions from eye-care brands and OEM factories. These answers will help you make faster and more confident decisions when selecting eye cream tubes.

1. Which applicator is best for anti-puffiness eye serum?
For anti-puffiness and dark circle serums, we usually recommend metal roller balls or zinc alloy cooling tips. They provide a cooling massage effect and help promote micro-circulation. The final choice depends on your formula texture and brand image.
2. How do I choose the correct tube diameter for my eye cream?
For most eye cream and eye serum products, D16mm–D22mm tubes are recommended. D19mm is the most popular for 10–20ml. If you share your target capacity and texture, we can suggest the best diameter based on our previous projects.
3. Can eye cream tubes use PCR or eco-friendly materials?
Yes. We can offer PCR tubes and sugarcane-based tubes for eye-care products. The PCR content can be adjusted according to your market requirements and brand story, while still ensuring good appearance and basic performance.
4. What orifice size should I choose for thick eye cream formulas?
For thicker eye cream textures, we usually suggest 1.5mm–2.0mm orifices. A too-small orifice will make the product difficult to squeeze and may create bad user experience. We can provide sampling for testing before mass production.
5. How do you ensure the cooling effect of metal balls and tips?
We use metal materials with good thermal conductivity, such as stainless steel and zinc alloy, and ensure a smooth surface finish. These applicators quickly adapt to room temperature and provide a “cool touch” feeling when applied to the eye area.
6. Are ceramic applicators safe for sensitive skin?
Ceramic applicators are non-metallic and have a smooth surface, making them suitable for sensitive skin users. We use cosmetic-grade materials and can provide related material information if required by your regulatory team.
7. Can you adjust the tube softness for different eye formulas?
Yes. Tube softness can be adjusted by changing the material formula and wall thickness. After we know your formula viscosity and desired hand-feel, we can propose softer or harder tube options for testing.
8. Will the printing fade or peel off when consumers hold the tube frequently?
We use cosmetic-grade inks and varnishes. Printing adhesion and friction tests are part of our QC process. For eye-care products, we can also adjust varnish types (glossy / matte / soft-touch) to balance appearance and durability.
9. Do acrylic caps crack easily during transportation?
We select appropriate acrylic materials and control wall thickness and structure. For export shipments, we use protective inner trays or dividers to reduce collision. If your logistics route is complex, we can suggest extra protective packing solutions.
10. Can you provide matte or soft-touch finishing for eye cream tubes?
Yes. We can offer matte, glossy, and soft-touch surface finishes. Soft-touch varnish gives a premium “velvet” hand-feel and is very popular for high-end eye-care products.
11. Can you help design a new applicator mold for our brand?
Our in-house mold development team can support new applicator designs. You can share drawings or reference samples, and we will evaluate feasibility, cost, and development time before starting the project.
12. What tube type do you recommend for retinol eye cream?
Retinol eye creams usually need better barrier performance. We often recommend PE+EVOH or ABL tubes, combined with a suitable applicator such as metal roller ball or ceramic head. Final selection should be confirmed by your stability test results.
