Advantages
Lower cost: The production process is relatively simple, and the cost of raw materials (such as plastic, aluminum-plastic composite materials, etc.) is low. It is suitable for mass production and can effectively control the overall cost of the product.
Convenient to use: It is soft in texture, and the liquid can be dispensed by squeezing. The operation is simple, and the tube can be gradually "emptied" as it is used, reducing product residue.
Good sealing performance: When used with a cap (such as a screw cap or flip cap), it can effectively isolate air and external contaminants, extending the product's shelf life.
Flexible design: The surface can undergo various processes such as printing, gold stamping, and labeling, which is convenient for displaying brand information and product features and enhancing aesthetics.
Lightweight and portable: It is light in weight and small in size, not easy to deform or be damaged by squeezing, making it suitable for carrying in travel, commuting, and other scenarios.
Disadvantages
Difficult to control dosage: Different squeezing forces may lead to uneven dispensing, which can easily cause waste or insufficient dosage.
Limited compatibility with high-viscosity products: For overly thick products (such as pastes, waxes), there may be problems of difficult squeezing and poor liquid dispensing.
Poor reusability: Most tubes are disposable packaging, and it is difficult to thoroughly clean the inside, making them unsuitable for repeated refilling.
Room for improvement in environmental friendliness: Some materials (such as ordinary plastic) are difficult to degrade. If not properly recycled and disposed of, they may burden the environment (however, biodegradable material tubes are gradually becoming popular).
Susceptible to temperature: In high-temperature environments, the tube material may become soft, deform, or even affect the stability of the internal product.
