Product Details
Our aluminum ointment tubes are designed for creams, ointments, gels, balms, and other semi-solid formulations that require good product protection, controlled dispensing, and a clean professional appearance.
The tube body can be customized with different diameters, lengths, nozzle types, cap styles, inner coating, and printing designs according to your formula, filling volume, and branding requirements.
Material Structure
Aluminum ointment tubes are made with a protective multi-layer structure to support both product safety and decoration performance.
The typical structure includes an outer printing layer, primer layer, aluminum tube wall, and inner protective coating. The aluminum layer provides barrier protection against light, air, and moisture, while the inner coating helps reduce direct contact between the formula and the aluminum body.
For ointments, creams, gels, or active formulations, we recommend compatibility testing before bulk production to confirm inner coating performance, product stability, and storage suitability.
Size Options
We offer multiple aluminum ointment tube sizes for different filling volumes and market applications. Common tube diameters include 19mm, 22mm, 25mm, 28mm, 30mm, 32mm, and 35mm.
Tube length can be adjusted according to the required filling volume, product viscosity, sealing method, and cap type. If you are not sure which size is suitable, please share your target filling volume and product type. Our team can help recommend a suitable tube diameter and length.
Nozzle Types
Different nozzle types are available for different dispensing needs. The right nozzle design depends on the ointment texture, application area, and user experience.
Available options include:
- With Membrane – suitable for better first-use protection and product hygiene.
- Without Membrane – simple and practical for general ointment products.
- Metal Cannula – suitable for precise dispensing and targeted application.
- Plastic Cannula – suitable for controlled application with a softer dispensing tip.
- Tamper-Evident Cap – helps show whether the product has been opened.
- Protector / Applicator Tip – suitable for special-use ointments or direct application.
Cap Options
To meet different product applications and customer preferences, our aluminum ointment tubes can be matched with both plastic caps and metal caps.
Plastic caps are a practical and cost-effective choice for most ointment, cream, gel, cosmetic, and healthcare products. They are lightweight, easy to use, and available in different shapes and colors.
Metal caps provide a more premium and classic appearance, making them suitable for brands that want a stronger metallic packaging style or a more distinctive product presentation.
We can recommend a suitable cap option based on your nozzle type, formula, branding needs, and target market.

Production Workshop
Stable production is important for aluminum ointment tube quality. Our production process covers tube forming, inner coating, printing, cap matching, inspection, packing, and shipment preparation.
Each step is checked to help ensure tube appearance, thread fit, cap compatibility, printing quality, and packing safety. For custom ointment tube projects, we recommend confirming samples before bulk production.
Before Bulk Production
For aluminum ointment tubes, sample testing is strongly recommended before mass production, especially for medical ointments, cosmetic creams, herbal balms, gels, or active formulations.
Testing helps confirm formula compatibility, filling volume, sealing performance, dispensing experience, printing effect, cap fit, and packing method.
