Plastic tubes are hygienic and convenient to use, with bright and shiny surface colors that are visually appealing. As a result, they have been widely adopted for packaging paste-based cosmetics, such as facial cleansers, hair conditioners, hair dyes, toothpaste, and other products in the cosmetics industry, as well as topical medications like creams and ointments in the pharmaceutical sector. Plastic tube packaging is economical and convenient, easy to carry, and can restore its original shape while maintaining a good appearance even under intense pressure.
