TU51 Custom Airless Tube for Cream Packaging

Airless Precision System

In today’s packaging, function has to come before flair. The TU51 Airless Tube does just that—designed from the inside out for smooth, no-fuss performance.

Dispensing without contamination

Clean product delivery isn’t optional—especially when your formula’s quality is on the line.

• This tube features an airless pump head integrated with a vacuum piston mechanism that replaces traditional straws.

• The formula stays sealed off from air, which reduces microbial exposure and helps protect active ingredients during use.

Monomaterial construction for efficiency

With a PE body and PP pump system, TU51 offers a smart approach to assembly and material compatibility:

1. The mono-material build means easier handling during production and more streamlined recycling processes at the end of use.

2. The upward piston action inside the tube maintains a vacuum, moving smoothly with every pump and leaving behind less than 2% residual content in ideal conditions.

3. Consistency in material usage minimizes supply chain complexity—a key point for procurement officers managing tight production cycles.

Built for Sensitive Formulas

Packaging isn't just a container—it's a formula’s life support system. The TU51 is made with product preservation in mind.

Ideal for skincare and suncare

From vitamin-rich moisturizers to high-SPF sunscreens, the TU51 helps protect formulations where it matters.

• It’s suitable for thick or semi-fluid products like face creams, after-sun recovery gels, barrier repair lotions, or hair serums that don’t work well with squeeze tubes or open-top jars.

• Because the pump is sealed and airless, there's no backflow and no oxidation—which matters for ingredients like retinol, niacinamide, or botanical extracts that degrade quickly in open air.

• Medical aesthetic and derm-branded products can benefit most from this structure—especially brands targeting post-treatment recovery or sensitivity-prone consumers.

Clean Dosing, Anywhere

Good packaging disappears into the background. The TU51 offers intuitive use without drawing attention—precisely how functional packaging should behave.

• Consumers get consistent output with one press, thanks to the airless actuator and well-calibrated spring return.

• It’s a time-saver for daily use—especially in personal care or professional settings where repeat use matters.

Ergonomic for daily use

Built for grip, comfort, and minimal slip.

• The round D35mm structure fits snugly in the hand and holds steady on shelves and countertops.

• The symmetrical design allows it to be used at any orientation during dispensing, especially useful when the product is almost finished.

• Portable and compact enough for travel-size formats (as low as 40ml), without compromising function.

“Consumers don’t want to think about how the package works. They just want it to work,” said a 2024 McKinsey consumer packaging trends survey focused on beauty and wellness usage behavior.

Formulas & Use Cases

Modular Options, Your Way

Every brand has its own demands, and TU51 is built to flex—without reinventing your packaging line.

Customizable by component

Instead of one-size-fits-all, TU51 is designed with modularity at its core:

• You can select different pump head types or modify output dosage to suit your formula’s viscosity.

• Decorative customization can include UV coating, hot stamping, or silk screen printing—done in-house to keep lead times short.

• Compatible with standard filling and capping machinery due to its D35mm diameter, reducing production changeover costs.

Customization here isn’t limited to decoration—it’s functional engineering support. From dosage accuracy to pump head control, the TU51 allows brands to scale confidently with consistent technical specs across SKUs.

FAQs

Q1: Is it suitable for high-activity or SPF formulas?

Yes, in most cases. Run compatibility tests for alcohol, acids, and high-salt systems.

Q2: Can we do PCR and full light-blocking?

Yes. PCR-PP and solid colors supported. Printing won’t affect dose accuracy.
