Cosmetic tube packaging design forms the cornerstone of brand building, and the choice of tube finish has a crucial impact on the brand and product style. Common finishes for cosmetic plastic tube packaging include glossy, matte, pearlescent, and reverse UV.
1. Glossy finish
In plastic tube packaging printing, after all the text and graphics are printed, if a layer of colorless high-gloss varnish is applied to the surface of the tube, it becomes a glossy finish. Glossy packaging has a high gloss level, making it look high-profile and eye-catching. High-gloss varnish is scratch-resistant and stain-resistant, providing excellent protection for the ink and product.
2. Matte finish
If a layer of matte varnish is applied to the surface of the tube, it becomes a matte finish. Matte finishes are less reflective, appearing very soft, understated yet elegant. Furthermore, matte finishes do not easily leave fingerprints or smudges after touching the packaging. Therefore, matte finishes are favored by many consumers.
3. Pearlescent finish
Adding pearl powder to varnish during printing creates tube that radiates a pearly glow, like moonlight filtering through a thin veil, with a warm, milky white sheen and a restrained, elegant luster.
4. Reverse UV finish
Applying two mutually repellent varnishes to the surface of a cosmetic tube, and then curing them under ultraviolet light, results in a surface that feels both rough and smooth to the touch. This combination of a strong matte texture and a degree of gloss is the charm of reverse UV finishes. It significantly enhances the quality and sophistication of packaging, increasing its appeal to consumers.
