Tube Mockup Templates

Squeeze tubes are the packaging format of choice for products that need controlled dispensing - face washes, hand creams, sunscreen, toothpaste, hair styling products, and pharmaceutical ointments. The tube format is everywhere, and the branding lives entirely on that curved cylindrical surface. A flat label comp doesn't show how text wraps, how the brand mark sits relative to the crimp seal, or how the cap color coordinates with the tube body. That's what mockups are for.

Tube types available include standard screw-cap tubes, flip-top squeeze tubes, nozzle-tip tubes (for precision application), pump tubes, and metal crimp-end tubes. Materials include plastic (glossy and matte), aluminum (for pharmaceutical and premium skincare), and laminate (multi-layer barrier material for cosmetics). Sizes range from 10ml travel/sample tubes to 250ml family-size formats.

The cylindrical label wrapping is the core challenge for tube mockups. The smart object maps your design around the tube body with accurate curvature - text near the edges shows proper perspective distortion, and graphics follow the tube's taper toward the crimp seal at the bottom. On round tubes, the wrap covers 360 degrees so you can position front panel, side text, and back panel content in one continuous design.

Cap options across the collection:

• Screw cap - standard flat-top or pointed-tip cap
• Flip-top - hinged dispensing cap, open and closed states
• Pump dispenser - for larger tubes (100ml+)
• Nozzle tip - narrow application tip for ointments
• Metal crimp - traditional sealed end for aluminum tubes

Cap color is independently editable - match it to the tube body, create contrast combinations, or use metallic finishes (gold, silver) for premium positioning.

Material finish layers control the surface appearance: glossy plastic shows sharp light reflections, matte shows soft diffused light, and aluminum tubes have the characteristic metallic surface with visible pressed-metal texture. Some templates include embossed text or logo effects on the tube body for premium packaging presentations.

Fine text - ingredient lists, usage directions, barcodes, regulatory markings - needs to be readable on the narrow tube surface. Cosmetic and pharmaceutical packaging has dense information requirements, and the mockup resolution supports that level of detail.

What tube types are available?

Screw-cap, flip-top, nozzle-tip, pump dispenser, and metal crimp-end tubes. Materials include glossy plastic, matte plastic, aluminum, and laminate barrier. Sizes range from 10ml samples to 250ml family-size formats.

Does the label wrap accurately around the tube?

The smart object maps your design around the cylindrical body with proper perspective curvature. Text near the edges shows natural distortion, and the design follows the tube's taper toward the crimp seal. Full 360-degree coverage is available.

Can I change the cap style and color?

Cap style is fixed per template (screw, flip-top, pump, nozzle, crimp), but cap color is independently adjustable. You can match cap to body, create contrast, or use metallic finishes for premium positioning.
