Lip Balm Tube Sizes & How to Choose
Lip balm tubes come in two formats, and they’re measured differently. Twist-up stick tubes hold solid balm and are sized by fill weight (g / oz) — the classic size is 0.15 oz (≈4.25 g). Squeeze tubes hold liquid, gel, gloss or treatment formulas, are sized by volume (ml), and pair with an applicator tip. Use the tables below to match a size to your formula, then customize the material, applicator and decoration.

Liquid, gel, gloss, serum or treatment formula? → Choose a squeeze tube, sized by volume, with roller-ball, metal, silicone or slant-tip applicators.
Need higher barrier performance or more recycled content? → Choose a multi-layer squeeze tube, available with up to 80% PCR.
