For Brands that Value Sustainability
Sustainable Inside and Out
For cosmetics companies, sustainability has become a fundamental requirement. Choosing Aluminium for the packaging of your products is a concrete choice in favour of the environment, as well as positively characterising your brand in the eyes of the public.
Aluminium is 100% recyclable and infinitely recyclable: production from recycled aluminium requires 95% less energy than production from raw materials.
But we can do even more:
- Recycling of production waste (PIR) and possibility of producing tubes from recycled aluminium (PCR)
- ToBeNaturAL® compostable caps made from bio-based materials
- Full-roof photovoltaic systems to support our production processes;
- Tubettificio Perfektüp is member of the Bell Holding group, part of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Global Commitment

Cosmetic Packaging Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose aluminium tubes over plastic ones for cosmetics?
Aluminium offers total protection from air and light, is fully recyclable, and has a high-end appearance that enhances product appeal.
Can I customize the tube's design?
Absolutely. We offer offset printing on tubes, even small ones and for large quantities. Our in-house pre-press department is at your disposal to adapt the design to the tube body and achieve the best results.
Are aluminium tubes suitable for sensitive formulas?
Yes. Aluminium ensures a total barrier against light and air and protects delicate active ingredients from degradation. Since it dispenses only the amount needed for use, the rest of the product remains untouched, allowing for more effective prevention of bacterial contamination.
What’s the MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) and delivery time for cosmetic tubes?
The answer may vary depending on the period and timing, but thanks to a tailor-made approach and the production strength that characterises the Perfektüp group, we are able to respond to both niche requests and large quantities. Contact our sales team for a custom quote based on your requirements.
