Product Details
Our aluminium collapsible tubes are designed for products that require good barrier protection, controlled dispensing, and a clean professional appearance. They are suitable for creams, gels, ointments, hair dye, glue, pigment, food paste, and other semi-liquid or paste products.
The tube body can be customized with different diameters, lengths, nozzle types, cap styles, inner coating, and printing designs according to your product formula and branding requirements.
Material Structure
Aluminium collapsible tubes are made with a multi-layer structure to support product protection and decoration performance.
The typical structure includes an outer printing layer, primer layer, aluminium tube wall, and inner protective coating. The aluminium layer provides barrier protection, while the inner coating helps reduce direct contact between the product and the aluminium body.
For special formulations, such as active ingredients, acidic or alkaline products, solvents, or strong chemical contents, compatibility testing is recommended before mass production.
Size Options
We offer multiple aluminium collapsible tube sizes for different filling volumes and product 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, you can share your target filling volume and product type, and we will help recommend a suitable tube diameter and length.
Nozzle Types and Cap Options
Different nozzle types are available for different dispensing needs. The right nozzle design depends on the product texture, application method, and user experience.
Available options include:
- With Membrane
- Without Membrane
- Metal Cannula
- Plastic Cannula
- Tamper-Evident Cap
- Protector / Applicator Tip
To meet different product applications and customer preferences, our aluminium collapsible tubes can also be matched with both plastic caps and metal caps.
Plastic caps are widely used for cosmetics, medical ointments, glue, and personal care products, offering a lightweight and economical solution.
Metal caps provide a more premium appearance and are suitable for products that require a stronger metallic packaging style.
We can recommend the most suitable nozzle and cap combination according to your product and packaging needs.

Production Workshop
Stable production is important for aluminium collapsible 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, printing quality, and packing safety. For custom projects, we recommend confirming samples before bulk production.
Before Bulk Production
For aluminium collapsible tubes, we strongly recommend sample testing before mass production, especially when the tube will be used for cosmetics, medical products, glue, pigment, food paste, or chemical formulations.
Testing helps confirm product compatibility, filling volume, sealing performance, dispensing experience, printing effect, and packing method.
