PE vs. PP (Polypropylene): A Quick Comparison

This is the most common comparison in plastic packaging.

Conclusion: While both are used extensively, PE is often chosen for its superior resistance to stress cracking caused by oils over long periods. PP is often chosen when superior clarity or a more rigid feel is desired.

Common Types of PE Lip Gloss Containers

The material doesn't change the styles available. The same classic types are manufactured in PE:

1. Standard Doe-Foot Tube: The most common type.

2. Brush Applicator Tube: For liquid lipsticks and precise application.

3. Slant-Tip Tube: No separate applicator; product is applied directly from the slanted opening.

4. Jumbo Tube: Larger diameter for more product.
