Why choose cosmetic and pharmaceutical tube packaging?

Cosmetic and pharmaceutical tube packaging is the most suitable packaging for dermatological creams and medical ointments. Its multi-layer structure provides an effective barrier against air, moisture and light, ensuring the stability of your active ingredients. This protection is essential for preserving the therapeutic efficacy of sensitive formulas, which are often enriched with powerful active ingredients.

Beyond protection, ointment packaging tubes offer a hygienic and controlled application: patients can precisely measure out the required amount, reducing waste and limiting the risk of contamination. Lightweight and ergonomic, they are easy to transport and use, whether at home or in medical environments.

Finally, our cosmetic tube packaging perfectly meets the requirements of pharmaceutical laboratories and dermocosmetic brands: sufficient printing surface to include mandatory legal notices and pictograms, compatibility with automated filling lines, and aesthetic customisation options to stand out in pharmacies and drugstores.

Our range of dermatological and ointment packaging tubes

Laminated tubes with aluminium barrier

Our aluminium tubes for creams are specially designed for sensitive dermatological creams and medical ointments. Their integrated aluminium layer acts as a protective barrier against oxygen, light and moisture, ensuring optimal preservation of your active ingredients. They are particularly recommended for pharmaceutical formulations that require high stability and a long shelf life.

Full plastic tubes (without aluminium)

Our plastic squeeze tubes are a sustainable and fully recyclable alternative. Made from PE or PET, they are strong, flexible and suitable for daily skin care, moisturising ointments or soothing creams. The absence of aluminium makes them easy to recycle and an ideal solution for natural or organic dermocosmetic brands that want to combine performance with environmental friendliness.

Recycled or bio-based tubes

To meet growing expectations in terms of sustainable development, we offer tubes made from recycled plastic (PCR – Post Consumer Recycled) or bio-based resins. These innovative solutions enable laboratories and brands to strengthen their CSR commitment, while benefiting from high-performance packaging that complies with pharmaceutical standards.

Which tube should you choose for your dermatological formula?

The choice of laminated tube depends directly on the nature of your product and its use. Here are a few guidelines to help you decide:

For sensitive and medical formulas

If your creams or ointments contain active ingredients (corticosteroids, antibiotics, vitamins or healing agents), we recommend our aluminium tubes for creams. They offer enhanced protection against air, light and moisture, ensuring optimal preservation and consistent treatment effectiveness.

For daily skin care

For moisturising, soothing or repairing ointments intended for regular use, recyclable plastic squeeze tubes are an excellent compromise between robustness, practicality and sustainability. They are particularly suitable for organic or natural dermocosmetic ranges.

For brands committed to sustainability

If you want to promote a responsible image and reduce your carbon footprint, opt for PCR (post-consumer recycled plastic) or bio-based tubes. These innovative solutions combine technical performance with environmental commitment, a key asset for attracting customers who are increasingly eco-conscious.

The sectors we support

Pharmaceutical & medical

Aluminium tubes for creams are widely used by pharmaceutical companies to package medical ointments, therapeutic creams, healing gels, antifungal and anti-inflammatory products. Their airtight structure guarantees the stability of the active ingredients and meets strict safety and hygiene standards.

Dermocosmetics

In the field of dermocosmetics, cosmetic tube packaging is ideal for moisturising, soothing, repairing or anti-ageing creams sold in pharmacies and drugstores.

For brands specialising in natural and organic cosmetics, we offer fully recyclable plastic squeeze tubes as well as solutions made from recycled (PCR) or bio-based plastic. This eco-friendly packaging reinforces the consistency between the product and its packaging, while appealing to eco-conscious consumers.
