At Neopac, we understand that in today’s fast-paced beauty and personal care industry, staying ahead requires more than just innovative products. It demands a reliable packaging partner who can deliver high-quality solutions, tailored to your brand’s unique needs, while minimizing supply chain risks and environmental impact. That’s why we’ve expanded our U.S. production capabilities, bringing precision-engineered, eco-friendly tube packaging closer to home.
The U.S. beauty and personal care market is highly competitive, driven by rapid innovation and evolving consumer preferences. In such a dynamic landscape, having a reliable manufacturing partner within the United States can be a game-changer for brands seeking to maintain a competitive edge. Local production offers brands a significant advantage, from reducing lead times and securing supply chains to avoiding customs delays and additional fees.
Recognizing these critical benefits, Neopac recently further strengthened its U.S. manufacturing capabilities by introducing a new cosmetics tube line at its Wilson, North Carolina plant. This strategic investment allows for the local production of Neopac’s high-barrier tube packaging with advanced aesthetics and sustainability, catering to the needs of both established and emerging brands in the market.
Advanced Manufacturing and Increased Capacity
The state-of-the-art tube line significantly expands Neopac’s production capacity, enabling production of an additional 70 million tubes per year. It accommodates a range of Polyfoil® tube sizes from 25-40mm diameters and volumes from 15-150ml, making it suitable for various cosmetics and personal care products.
Among the standout offerings of the new tube line is Neopac’s Polyfoil® MMB mono-material barrier tube range, which has received the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) Critical Guidance approval for recycling. This certification reflects our commitment to sustainable packaging solutions that do not compromise on protective elements, overall quality or aesthetic appeal.
Our Polyfoil® MMB tubes offer excellent barrier properties while being fully recyclable, helping brands meet both consumer demand and regulatory requirements for eco-friendly packaging. By choosing these recyclable solutions, brands can reduce their carbon footprint and even avoid eco-taxes such as the plastic tax, making sustainability both achievable and cost-effective.
Customization to Help Your Brand Stand Out
At Neopac, we know that packaging is not just about protection – it’s a critical element of your brand’s identity. That’s why we offer a wide array of customization options to ensure your products make a lasting impression, whether on crowded retail shelves or in online catalogues.
Our advanced technology supports full tube body colorations, seven-color offset printing, and an array of finishes including matte, silk, and glossy lacquers. Additionally, we offer metallic looks, soft-touch finishes, and custom cap and body color matching to ensure that every element of your packaging aligns with your brand’s vision.
Sustainable and Regulatory-Compliant Solutions
We understand that sustainability is no longer optional – it’s a key priority for modern beauty brands. That’s why we also offer the option to produce our Polyfoil® tubes using post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials. The PCR tubes comply with FDA No Objection Letters (NOL) or the EU regulation No 10/2011, as demonstrated by successful migration tests with reference samples.
A Growing U.S. Team with Local Expertise
Beyond expanding our manufacturing capabilities, Neopac’s Wilson plant also has a growing team. Our facility operates under the leadership of co-managers overseeing a skilled team of nearly a dozen dedicated factory professionals. The U.S. team also includes three sales specialists focusing on the pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and oral care sectors, ensuring that each customer receives tailored support and solutions.
Neopac’s active membership in the U.S. Tube Council further highlights our commitment to the industry. By participating in discussions on standards, sustainability, and innovation in tube packaging, Neopac demonstrates dedication to advancing the future of packaging solutions while adhering to regulatory and environmental best practices.
Furthermore, we have recently been awarded the prestigious Tube Council’s Ted Klein Tube of the Year Award, along with a Gold Award in the pharmaceutical category, for a tailor-made Polyfoil® tube with applicator utilized for Icy Hot® Pro No-Mess Pain Reliever.
