As a professional empty lipstick tube manufacturer, we will provide you with a detailed analysis of the intricate construction of a standard lipstick tube.

A high-quality empty lipstick tube consists of the following core functional components:
This is the most visible part of the lipstick packaging, typically made of ABS, AS, PETG, PMMA, or aluminum.|
Function: Protects the internal structure and the lipstick from external impact; carries the visual elements of the brand design (such as color, pattern, and logo).
This is the component that directly contacts the lipstick and holds it in place. It is typically injection molded from chemically resistant PP or POM.
Function: Holds and secures the lipstick, ensuring it does not wobble or fall out. Controlling the material and tolerances is crucial to prevent the lipstick from "sweating" or contamination.
This is a precision mechanical structure that enables the lipstick to be twisted out and in, typically located at the bottom of the tube.
Function: By rotating the base, the inner holder achieves precise vertical movement. Its torque determines the smoothness and stability of the rotation.
In addition to the core functional components, empty lipstick tubes also include the following key protective and aesthetic components:
The cap is the protective device at the top of the lipstick tube and is the first part consumers come into contact with the product.
Function: It seals and protects the lipstick paste, preventing it from drying out or becoming contaminated. Many brands use magnets (magnetic lipstick tubes) or snaps to achieve a secure lock.
This is typically the bottom of the entire lipstick tube and is sometimes used to place labels or color information.
Function: It provides a basic platform for assembly, enhancing overall stability and feel.
