The most crucial feature of any lipstick pen tube packaging is its functionality. It must protect the formulation while still looking appealing. Traditionally, women have preferred small pots or cylinders, but the innovation in this field has led to the emergence of a variety of unique styles and shapes. Traditionally, lipsticks have been filled in a crown at the base, which increases labor and formulation costs. Today, newer packaging designs have emerged that are both functional and attractive.

The main differences between plastic and aluminum-plastic composite tubes can be traced to the materials used. Plastic tubes are made of PC, while aluminum lipstick tubes are typically made of 5657 and 1070. Other materials used to make lipstick tubes include zinc alloy and sheepskin. The process used to fill the lipstick tubes varies, but the material used can impact its performance. The most common way to fill a lipstick tube is with a machine.

A new look for lipstick packaging is becoming a trend among brands, including high-end cosmetics. In addition to the classic lipstick tube, there are new packaging types that look like portable pencils or pens. Some brands are switching to airless components that make the product more durable and easier to travel with. Increasingly, lipsticks are becoming lifestyle accessories, and packaging can play an important role in that. Whether a company chooses to make a lipstick tube that is airless or not, a lipstick pen should be attractive, functional and attractive to customers.
