Cardboard push up tubes: 15mm x 70mm – fits approximately 8g 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 the bottom of a pencil or preferably a chopstick to push the base into place.
Failing to inspect each tube before use may result in leakages.
Which size tube should I select?
These 8g tubes are best suited for lip balms that will be used by kids/people with smaller hands as the width of the tube is the same as a regular plastic lip balm sized tube. If you are wanting to make lip balms for an adult audience or those with larger sized hands we recommend the 12g 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.
