Paper tubes are becoming increasingly popular for packaging cosmetics and skincare products. Many beauty and personal care brands are transitioning from plastic or glass containers to eco-friendly paper tube packaging. One notable area of this trend is in deodorant packaging.
As the name suggests, deodorant paper tubes are different from traditional plastic tubes, using cardboard and paperboard instead. It features a plant-based lining that creates an oil-resistant barrier, preventing leakage of cosmetic oils and liquids. While this lining would not make the tubes water-resistant, it is still highly effective for most semi-solid personal care products.
#1 Eco-Friendly Deodorant Packaging
Regardless of the tube style chosen, eco-friendly deodorant packaging significantly reduces plastic usage and the carbon footprint of brands. As more customers become aware of the harm caused by plastic waste to our planet, they increasingly prefer eco-friendly products and brands in their everyday purchases. Utilizing sustainable raw materials, production methods, packaging, and shipping throughout the supply chain will help cultivate a green image for your brand.
#2 Fully Customized Deodorant Packaging
Deodorant paper tubes can be fully customized in terms of size, printing, material, style, and finishes, providing greater flexibility in creating your desired cosmetic or skincare brand. By combining various elements in your packaging, you can easily establish your beauty brand. For luxury cosmetics packaging, foil stamping can add an elegant touch to your products. For organic beauty products, natural kraft paper and minimalist printing can convey a message of health and sustainability.
#3 Budget-Friendly Deodorant Packaging
From a cost perspective, paper deodorant tubes are much more accessible for small businesses and start-ups. Testing new sizes and ingredients before launching a new product line can be challenging for smaller companies due to the high tooling costs associated with traditional plastic tubes. Cardboard deodorant tubes simplify this process. The minimum order quantity (MOQ) can be as low as 3,000 pieces, significantly lowering the costs and risks associated with trial and error during product testing.
#4 Attractive Deodorant Packaging
The cosmetics and beauty market is highly competitive. To stand out, your products need to have distinctive features that catch customers’ eyes. Custom-printed cardboard deodorant tubes enhance your product’s shelf appeal and help your brand get noticed more easily in stores.
Full-color printing (using CMYK and Pantone colors) and a variety of special finishes allow you to create eye-catching deodorant packaging that sets your products apart from the competition.
There are four major styles of paper deodorant tubes available in the market, each with its advantages and disadvantages:
#1 Push-Up Deodorant Paper Tubes
Push-up paper tubes are among the most popular styles. They are commonly used for packaging lip balm, deodorant, lotion, salves, solid fragrances, and solid perfumes. Users simply push from the bottom of the tube to apply the cosmetic and skincare stuff. These tubes feature a moveable bottom disc, allowing customers to elevate the packaged balm, lotion, or deodorant for easy application.
#2 Twist-Up Deodorant Paper Tubes
Twist-up paper tubes consist of a plastic twist-up inner core and recyclable paper outer shells. While they are not entirely eco-friendly due to the plastic component, they significantly reduce plastic usage compared to traditional plastic tubes while maintaining functionality similar to standard twist-up lipstick tubes.
#3 Oval-Shaped Deodorant Paper Tubes
Oval-shaped paper tubes offer a distinctive design that enhances shelf appeal, making them more eye-catching compared to standard cylindrical paper tubes.
#4 Hatbox Style Deodorant Paper Tubes
Hatbox-style paper tubes have a standard cylindrical shape and are non-pushable at the bottom. They are ideal for larger packaging volumes and serve as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional glass or plastic cosmetic containers. For more details, please refer to our portfolio.
