See All Reviews on Trustpilot
We needed a soft, flexible tube for our new hand cream line that would dispense smoothly without losing its shape. UKPACK helped us compare different PE structures, tube diameters and flip-top closures. The samples gave us a clear understanding of how the packaging would perform before moving into production. Their technical input made the selection process much easier.
Elowen, from the UK
For our premium hand cream collection, the packaging needed to feel as refined as the formula itself. UKPACK worked with us on soft-touch finishes, metallic details and color matching. We reviewed several decoration samples before confirming the final design. The finished tubes reflected the look we had planned and worked well across the collection.
Maëlle, from France
We were looking for recycled-content tubes for our hand lotion range but wanted to maintain the appearance and functionality of our existing packaging. UKPACK explained the available PCR material options and helped us evaluate sample colors, flexibility and printing results. Their support gave us a clearer picture of the trade-offs before selecting the final tube specification.
Linnea, from Sweden
Our project involved a custom 50 ml hand cream tube with a specific cap design and printed artwork. UKPACK provided 3D mockups and helped us check the dimensions before arranging physical samples. We made a few adjustments during development, and the team was responsive throughout the process. Having those details confirmed early helped us avoid unnecessary changes later.
Annika, from Germany
We worked with UKPACK on a bulk order of custom hand cream tubes for our skincare brand. Communication was clear from sample approval through production, including updates on printing, packaging and shipment preparation. The team helped us confirm the specifications and coordinate the order around our launch schedule. We appreciated the organized approach and consistent communication.
Saskia, from the Netherlands
We were developing a new hand cream collection and needed custom tubes with specific sizes, colors, and flip-top caps. UKPACK helped us review the PE material options, refine the artwork, and check the physical samples before production.
