Cardboard push up tubes: 20mm x 75mm (base to top of lid). Fills approximately 12g of liquid formula.
How do I push the lip balm up from the tube?
With plastic lip balm tubes you turn a dial at the bottom and the balm extends upwards — cardboard push up tubes work in a similar way, whereby you manually push the tube via the small insert at the bottom of the container.
How do I fill the cardboard tubes?
Prior to filling your cardboard lip balm tubes, ensure that the base of the tube is secured to the bottom of the outer tube. If the base appears to be slightly separated from the very bottom of the tube, use a glass rod or chopstick to push the base into place.
Failing to inspect each tube before filling may result in leakages.
Which size tube should I select?
These 12g tubes are best suited for lip balms that will be used by adults, as the width of the tube is larger. If you are wanting to make lip balms for a younger audience (small hands) we recommend the 8g Lip Balm tubes.
Is the wax used in the tube vegan?
Unlike plastic tubes, cardboard push tubes are recyclable and compostable — the ultimate zero waste solution. These push up tubes are lined with wax, so your lip balm formula will not leak into the paper tube.
Yes, these are vegan friendly tubes. The main components of waxed paper are cotton and petroleum wax.
