Customizing lip gloss tubes is one of the most effective ways for beauty brands to build a strong identity, elevate product appeal, and stand out in a saturated cosmetics market. Whether you’re launching a new lip gloss line or upgrading existing packaging, personalized tubes help you communicate your brand values through design, materials, and functional details.
In this guide, we break down everything you need to know about customizing lip gloss tubes—from shapes and decoration options to materials and production tips.
A customized tube instantly separates your product from generic packaging. Colors, finishes, and shapes all influence how consumers perceive your brand.
The right applicator, tube shape, and sealing method ensure smooth application and better customer experience.
Premium finishes like metallic hot stamping, UV coating, or gradient spray give a higher-end feel that drives conversions both online and in stores.
Brands can choose from a variety of shapes depending on their positioning:
Round tubes – Classic and widely used
Square tubes – Modern, luxury aesthetic
Flat or slim tubes – Sleek and contemporary
Custom-mold shapes – Fully unique design
If you prefer a clean and modern silhouette, our Square Lip Gloss Tubes are a popular option among beauty brands.

Common lip gloss tube materials include:
PETG / PET – High transparency, durable
AS / ABS – Rigid and premium-looking
PCR materials – Eco-friendly options for sustainable brands
Aluminum decorative parts – Add a premium touch
Each material provides different levels of clarity, weight, flexibility, and compatibility with decoration methods.
Choosing the right applicator significantly affects product performance:
Doe-foot applicator (soft, precise)
Brush-tip applicator (ideal for high-fluid formulas)
Silicone slanted tip (mess-free application)
Oversized applicators (trending for plumping formulas)
