.5 ounce / 15 g Push-Up Tubes

Meet the.5 ounce / 15 g Push-Up Tubes — a plastic-free, sustainable solution for your lip balms, salves, and DIY cosmetics. Crafted from renewable, recycled kraft paper and FSC certified, these tubes prove that you don’t have to compromise on performance to protect the planet.

Why this design stands out:

• Eco-smart materials: Paper-based tubes made from recycled kraft with FSC certification, fully compostable, biodegradable, and recyclable. The inner lining uses a food-grade vegetable wax to maintain freshness while staying oil-proof.
• Oil-proof interior, clean exterior: A durable lining creates an oil-proof shield, so product oils stay inside and outer surfaces stay clean — no greasy residue on packaging you gift or display.
• Resilient seam, long-lasting: Our vertical seam design resists unraveling with daily use, outperforming standard diagonal-seam tubes and keeping your product secure from cap to base.
• Substantial capacity: Each tube holds 0.5 oz (approximately 14.8 mL / 15 g) — a generous size compared to typical plastic tubes that often hold around 0.15 oz. Volume is measured in mL and fluid ounces, with slight variation depending on the fill density.

Effortless filling, flawless results

Included with every order are 3D-printed filling trays designed to fill up to 32 of these push-up tubes quickly and consistently. The trays are made from eco-friendly silicone, food-grade and dishwasher safe, ensuring a clean, efficient workflow for DIY projects or small-batch production. Along with foolproof filling instructions, you can scale your lip balm or cosmetic line with confidence and minimal waste.
