Case Study

Custom Sunscreen Stick Packaging for Acure

When Acure developed its Invisible Sunscreen Stick, the brand needed a compact and travel-friendly stick packaging solution to support clean, mess-free sunscreen application for daily use and outdoor protection.

UKPACK supplied our UKDS01B 15g PP deodorant stick container with snap-fit cap, adapted for sunscreen stick formulation and on-the-go skincare application.

The final package helped Acure deliver a smooth, portable, and user-friendly sunscreen stick experience.

Project Snapshot

Brand: Acure

Product: Invisible Sunscreen Stick

Packaging Type: Sunscreen Stick Container

UKPACK Base Model: UKDS01B

Capacity: 15g

Material: PP (Polypropylene)

Application: Sunscreen stick / solid skincare stick

Customization: Structure adaptation, branding, surface finishing

Key Requirement: Portable, mess-free sunscreen application

UKPACK Solution: 15g twist-up PP stick container with snap-fit cap

The Challenge

Stick sunscreen requires packaging that can balance portability, structural stability, and clean application.

Unlike liquid sunscreen formats, solid stick formulations must remain stable under temperature changes while still allowing smooth twist-up dispensing. The packaging also needs to prevent deformation during transport and repeated daily use.

At the same time, Acure required a minimalist and natural aesthetic consistent with its clean skincare positioning. The container had to feel simple, lightweight, and suitable for both indoor daily use and outdoor reapplication scenarios.

The Packaging Solution

UKPACK supplied the UKDS01B 15g PP deodorant stick container with snap-fit cap, adapted for sunscreen stick applications.

The twist-up mechanism enables controlled dispensing of solid sunscreen, allowing users to apply directly to targeted areas such as face, neck, and hands without product waste or mess.

The snap-fit cap ensures secure closure during travel and outdoor use, protecting the stick surface and maintaining product integrity.

The PP material structure provides a lightweight yet durable base suitable for high-volume sunscreen production, ensuring both performance stability and cost efficiency.

For similar solid skincare products, UKPACK offers customization of stick packaging including capacity adjustment, mold development, color matching, and branding decoration.

Why UKDS01B Was a Good Fit

15g compact format: Ideal travel size for sunscreen stick and daily carry usage.

Twist-up dispensing system: Ensures smooth, controlled application without direct hand contact.

Snap-fit cap protection: Prevents accidental opening and protects product during transport.

PP durable structure: Lightweight and suitable for mass production personal care packaging.

Multi-category compatibility: Originally designed for deodorant, adapted for sunscreen and skincare stick formats.

The Result

The final packaging provided Acure with a clean and functional sunscreen stick solution optimized for portability and daily reapplication.

By using the UKDS01B 15g stick container, the Invisible Sunscreen Stick achieved a simple, practical, and travel-ready packaging format aligned with modern outdoor skincare needs.

This project demonstrates how a standard deodorant stick structure can be effectively adapted into sunscreen and skincare applications with minimal structural modification.
