Solution topic
How to choose cosmetic cream tube filling and sealing? Start with tube material, tube diameter, contents, and tail-sealing method.
For cosmetic cream tube projects, do not select only by the name tube filling and sealing machine. First confirm tube material, tube diameter, tail shape, cap type, cream viscosity, and whether coding is needed, then decide between an integrated filling and sealing machine or a separate tail sealing and coding solution.

Real customer question
What equipment should be selected for cosmetic paste tubes such as face cream, eye cream, and hand cream?
First determine the packaging route
For cosmetic cream tube projects, do not select only by the name tube filling and sealing machine. First confirm tube material, tube diameter, tail shape, cap type, cream viscosity, and whether coding is needed, then decide between an integrated filling and sealing machine or a separate tail sealing and coding solution.
Integrated Filling and Tail-Sealing Machine Route
Suitable for: Continuous production projects from empty tube feeding, filling, tube sealing to finished product in one step. Advantages: Reduces intermediate handling, suitable for medium to high speed batch production. Limitations: Requires confirmation of tube dimensions, diameter, and sealing molds. Not recommended: If tubes are already filled and only sealing and coding are needed, consider a separate sealing and coding line. Equipment direction: Our published tube filling and sealing machine can handle integrated filling and sealing; molds configured per tube diameter and length.
Standalone Tail Sealing and Coding Route
Suitable for: Projects where tubes are already filled and only need tail sealing, coding, and edge trimming. Advantages: Simpler equipment structure, faster changeover. Limitations: Need to confirm tail seal width and coding position. Not recommended: If filling is also required, an integrated filling and sealing line is recommended to avoid secondary tube handling. Equipment direction: Our published tube sealing and coding machine can handle sealing and coding needs, configured according to tube diameter and seal style.
Special-Cap Tube Sealing Solution
Suitable for: Tube caps that are irregular, pump-head or special structures requiring individual cap matching. Advantages: Customized for special cap types, reducing cap assembly issues. Limitations: Need to provide cap and tube samples for matching tests. Not recommended: If the cap is a standard screw cap, a conventional filling and sealing machine is sufficient without a separate solution. Equipment direction: Our released irregular cap tube sealing solution can handle special cap requirements; cap and tube samples are needed for confirmation.
Recommended equipment route: Sample and container confirmation
First confirm tube material, tube diameter, tail shape, and cap structure before matching tooling and filling nozzles.
Recommended equipment route: main process machine for filling-and-sealing or sealing-and-coding.
Choose an integrated machine or a separate tail sealing machine according to whether the tubes are already filled, while confirming tail-sealing method and coding content.
Recommended Equipment Route: Consumables and Tooling Confirmation
Tail-sealing tooling must be customized according to tube diameter and tail shape, and coding content should be confirmed in advance.
Recommended equipment route: downstream support and line-integration evaluation
If downstream coding, labeling, or automatic collection is needed, interfaces and space should be reserved in advance.
Route comparison
- Suitable for continuous production from empty tube feeding, filling, tail sealing, and finished-product discharge.
- reduce intermediate handling, suitable for medium- and high-speed batch production.
- tube size, diameter and tail-sealing tooling should be confirmed first.
- If the tube is already filled and only tail sealing and coding are needed, choose a separate tube sealing and coding route.
- Our published tube filling and sealing machine can handle integrated filling and tail sealing, with tooling configured according to tube diameter and length.
- Suitable for already filled tubes that only need tail sealing, coding, and trimming.
- simpler equipment structure with faster changeover adjustment.
- tube tail sealing width and coding position should be confirmed.
- If filling is also required, an integrated filling and sealing route is recommended to avoid loading tubes twice.
- Our published tube end sealer coder can handle tube tail sealing and coding, with configuration based on tube diameter and sealing style.
- Suitable for tubes whose caps are shaped, pump-type, or special structures, where cap matching must be confirmed separately.
- custom design for special cap types to reduce cap assembly problems.
- Cap samples and tube samples are needed for matching tests.
- If the cap is a standard screw cap, a regular filling and capping machine is enough and no separate special route is needed.
- Our published special-shaped cap tube sealing solution can handle special cap types, with confirmation based on cap and tube samples.

Sample details
Photos and dimensions can first determine container positioning, mold direction, and whether sample testing is needed.
Tube sample or photo confirms tube diameter, tube length, tail shape, and material.The lid structure determines the capping method (press, screw, or place) and whether inline integration is needed.
Cap sample or photo: confirm cap type, thread structure, or snap-fit structure.The state of the contents affects the filling method, contact materials, anti-drip, and safety configuration.
Paste sample or viscosity description confirms whether heat preservation or anti-drip nozzles are required.Capacity target determines single machine, semi-automatic, or continuous inline configuration, and also affects the quotation range.
Target output affects single-head or multi-head configuration and whether automatic tube loading is needed.Inline requirements affect equipment sequence, cycle time matching, and downstream inspection methods.
Downstream requirements: whether coding, labeling, automatic collection, or line connection is needed.Photos and dimensions can first determine container positioning, mold direction, and whether sample testing is needed.
Even if the information is incomplete, you can first send available photos and dimensions. We will judge the route first and then list what still needs to be provided.Common selection mistakes
Common questions
Yes. First send photos of the tube, approximate dimensions, paste type, and target output. We will determine the approach and then list the samples needed.
Need tube sample or dimensions, cap sample, paste sample or viscosity description, target capacity, and downstream requirements. Incomplete info is also acceptable; send what you have.
Production capacity affects single-head or multi-head configuration, whether automatic tube feeding is needed, and downstream line integration. It is recommended to provide target capacity range.
The tail sealing mold needs to be customized according to the tube diameter and tail shape. Different materials and tail sealing styles require different molds and temperature parameters. Sample testing can confirm the matching effect.
Sealing effectiveness must be confirmed through tube samples, sealing die, and parameter testing. It is recommended to provide tube and paste samples for testing.
If downstream coding, labeling, or automatic collection is needed, it is recommended to evaluate the line integration plan in advance. You can start with standalone machines and leave room for upgrades.
