FS Korea has enjoyed a rapid path to prominence in the cosmetic packaging world, recognized for its innovative packaging solutions and components. The company has recently released new airless tube systems that appear to be standard soft tubes but are actually incredibly hard and sturdy.

The process uses hard plastic sheets that are cut, folded and sealed in the shape of a traditional tube. The format is familiar to consumers as being associated with cosmetic or personal care products, creating immediate content recognition. Yet the hard airless tubes provide a sturdy alternative to soft tubes that the consumer associates with a high-end, quality product.

Each hard airless tube is topped (or bottomed, as the case may be) with a dosing pump, specially designed for the rigours of daily use. Priming takes just a few strokes. Thanks to the accompanying overcap, the pump aperture remains free and clear of residue and can sit on the shelf for a long period of time between uses. Due to the rigidity of the tube, it can be thrown into a purse or bag without fear of being compressed, ensuring that the product will not escape while in transit.

In general, the hard airless tube provides a welcome new hybrid for companies that seek to distinguish themselves with a novel packaging concept that’s inexpensive, durable, and useful to the consumer.
