(Cosmetic Tube Labels • Flexible Packaging Labels • Cosmetic Packaging Solutions • Durable Cosmetic Labels)

In the cosmetics industry, tubes are one of the most common packaging formats for skincare, beauty, and personal care products. Customers squeeze the tube repeatedly throughout the product’s lifecycle, which puts continuous pressure on the label. Therefore, having a cosmetic tube label that does not peel, wrinkle, crack, or fall off is essential for brand image, user experience, and product safety.

However, brands and manufacturers often encounter a serious structural issue: tube end bursting. When the end of a cosmetic tube cracks, splits, or bursts during transportation or customer use, it can cause major product loss and serious damage to the brand reputation.

To solve these common issues, Fulida Printing Factory has developed a professional set of label materials, adhesives, structures, and application guidelines specifically for cosmetic tubes.

Why Cosmetic Tube Labels Fail (Peeling, Wrinkling, or Tube Bursting)

(Cosmetic Tube Label Problems • Tube Label Failure • Label Adhesion Issues)

Cosmetic tube packaging undergoes constant bending, squeezing, distortion, and rebound. Standard label materials and adhesives are not designed to handle this level of deformation.

Below are the most common causes of tube label failure:

1. Poor flexibility of label material

Labels made with rigid films or traditional sticker materials cannot stretch or contract along with the tube surface.

2. Incompatible adhesive

Standard adhesives may not bond well with PE or laminated tube surfaces, causing edges to lift or labels to shift.

3. Incorrect label shape

Sharp corners or square designs easily catch friction during daily use, leading to peeling.

4. Inappropriate surface finishing

Over-lamination may create tension, causing label distortion or wrinkling on curved surfaces.

5. Improper labeling method

Applying labels without proper overlap, alignment, or curing time often results in unstable adhesion.

Understanding these issues allows cosmetic brands to choose the correct labeling solution that guarantees performance and durability.

Fulida’s Advanced Cosmetic Tube Labeling Solution

(Professional Cosmetic Label Supplier • Tube Label Material Experts)

Based on more than 17 years of experience in label manufacturing, Fulida has developed a complete and highly reliable tube labeling system that prevents peeling, wrinkles, detachment, and tube bursting.

Here are the six key elements:

1. Specialized Tube Label Materials with Bi-Directional Flexibility

(Flexible Label Film • Squeezable Tube Labels)

Fulida uses a unique soft film material designed for tubes and flexible packaging. Unlike traditional PET or PP films, this material provides:

  • High flexibility in both machine and transverse directions
  • Smooth bending without cracking or whitening
  • Excellent tracking performance, adapting perfectly to tube deformation
  • Long-term durability under repeated squeezing

This ensures the label stays smooth and intact throughout the product’s entire usage cycle.

2. Tube-Specific Adhesive for High Bonding Strength

(High-Tack Adhesive • Cosmetic Tube Adhesive • Strong Label Adhesion)

Cosmetic tubes often have challenging surfaces such as:

  • PE
  • laminated films
  • coated soft plastics

Fulida uses a high-performance adhesive specially formulated for these materials. This adhesive ensures:

  • Strong initial tack
  • Long-term bonding stability
  • Resistance to oil, water, and cosmetic formula ingredients

This prevents edge lifting, bubbling, and peeling even under constant squeezing pressure.

3. R3 Rounded Corner Design for Anti-Peeling Performance

(Label Engineering • Corner Design for Durability)

Every Fulida tube label uses a precise R3 small round-corner design on all four corners.

Why R3?
Sharp corners are the first areas to peel under friction. A rounded corner reduces stress concentration and prevents accidental peeling during handling, shipping, or consumer use.

4. Varnish Instead of Lamination to Avoid Wrinkling

(Matte Varnish Labels • Gloss Varnish Labels • Anti-Scratch Protection)

Laminating tube labels can cause tension on curved and deforming surfaces, leading to wrinkling or uneven application.

Fulida solves this by using:

  • Gloss varnish
  • Matte varnish

These provide:

  • Strong scratch resistance
  • Smooth surface protection
  • Zero additional tension on the label film

This ensures a stable appearance and enhanced durability.

5. 4mm Overlap Area for Stronger Tube Engagement

(Correct Tube Labeling Method • Overlap Label Technique)

For the best adhesion results, Fulida recommends:

  • 4mm overlap section
  • Avoiding the tube shoulder area
  • Placing the overlap on the back side of the tube

This structure significantly increases the bonding strength and prevents label displacement or misalignment.

6. Mandatory 24-Hour Curing Time After Labeling

(Label Bonding Guidelines • Production Best Practices)

To ensure the adhesive fully integrates with the tube surface, customers should:

  • Wait at least 24 hours after labeling before sealing or packing
  • Allow the adhesive to achieve over 80% bonding strength
  • Ensure environmental stability during curing (avoid cold/humid conditions)

This step is critical for preventing future peeling and maintaining long-term label performance.
