(which is also useful for small tubs, pots and samples)
Our Malibu Tubes and Tottles are tubes that stand on their "heads" with the cap down. Because they sit on their “head”, most of the cream is already waiting for dispensing so less product is left behind in the tube and they are flexible enough to squeeze. We currently stock 2 sizes of Malibu’s fas well as 3 sizes of Tottles, which are very similar and have a slightly different profile.
They are a firm MDPE plastic, but are not rigid, and they squidge down so that you can squeeze out the last of the contents.
Our Malibu tubes are suitable for thin lotions, thick shampoos, hair conditioners, moisturising creams and fine to medium scrubs. The caps remain attached to the tube when open (called a "butterfly hinge") and the dispensing hole measures 5mm. Although the diameter of the tube is quite wide (about 1 cm) it can be tricky to fill without mess!
This method is also useful for botttles, small pots and tubs that are fiddly to fill cleanly.
Use a Ziplock Bag like an icing bag with the bottom corner snipped off – easy and no mess!
Use a Ziplock Bag large enough to comfortably take the cream – this depends on the batch size. As you have more control, it is safer to use 2 or 3 medium sized bags, rather than one big Ziplock, and also you can split up the batch to use 2 or 3 scents for one batch this way.
TIP: Depending on the thickness of the product, it can sometimes be easiest to fill the Ziplock Bags whilst it is still slightly warm – not too warm though or it may sweat. If there is a danger of condensation, place the bag into a le bowl whilst filling, to support the weight and don’t zip until completely the product is completely cold.
You'll find Ziplock Bags listed on our Containers and Packaging section listed under "Bags".
