Aluminum cosmetic tubes are processed in this way, greatly enhancing their aesthetic appeal

Aluminum tubes, as a common packaging material, are widely used in the outer packaging of products such as glue, toothpaste, and cosmetics. The processing techniques selected will also vary depending on the characteristics of the contents to be filled and the different uses of the aluminum hoses. Today, let's share the three major processing techniques that can greatly enhance the beauty of aluminum hoses!

I. Labeling

Labeling refers to the process of first printing the originally designed pictures, text, etc. on paper, and then manually pasting the stickers onto aluminum tubes. In the early days when no new processing techniques emerged, labeling was the most widely used method. Due to its flexibility, it was suitable for all standards of aluminum hoses, with diameters ranging from as small as 8mm to as large as 50mm. However, due to manual production and processing, it is not convenient for mass production and has certain limitations.

Ii. Offset Printing

Offset printing is a type of flatbed printing. It is a printing method that uses rubber (blanket) to transfer the graphics and text on the printing plate to the substrate. Offset printing can produce a large number of clear and sharp pictures quickly, and can fully utilize dots to print rich and multi-layered color effects. However, offset printing requires aluminum tubes with a diameter of 11.5mm or more for production.

Iii. Gilding

Hot stamping uses the principle of heat transfer to heat a metal printing plate, apply foil, and press golden text or pictures onto an aluminum printing tube. After gilding, the product features clear and beautiful pictures, bright and eye-catching colors, and is also wear-resistant and weather-resistant. However, the gilding process is generally widely used in the production of cosmetic aluminum tubes for their outstanding aesthetic appeal. Perhaps it is for the sake of outstanding trademarks and brands that the gilding process is chosen.

Each processing technique has a different effect on product packaging. Which processing technology to choose primarily depends on multiple factors such as the standard of the aluminum hose, the application of the product, the characteristics of the contents to be filled, and the effect the merchant wants to achieve. However, no matter which processing technique is applied to the production of aluminum hoses, it adds color and aesthetic appeal to the products.
