A lipstick cap is judged by feel: it has to snap on with the right resistance, close without wobble and keep a flawless surface after thousands of open-close cycles. That puts the tolerance on the fit between cap and tube rather than on the cap alone.
We have built cosmetic tube and cap tooling for a well-known European cosmetics brand for more than 15 years, on a specification of 1,000,000 shots — and validated the tools we built at 5,000,000 shots. Cavity finish, gating position, cooling symmetry and the fit stack-up with the mating tube are all agreed before the tool is cut.
Typical applications
- Lipstick caps
- Cosmetic closures and collars
- Threaded and snap-fit caps
- Decorative sleeves
Specification
What this class of tool is built to
Our standard specification for this type of tooling, confirmed line by line on the mold design approval sheet before machining starts.
| Mold construction | Two-plate, three-plate, hot runner, stack or family — specified per part |
| Cavity count | Single or multi-cavity, sized to annual volume, cycle time and press tonnage |
| Mold steels | P20, 718H, NAK80, S136, hardened H13 / SKD61 cores |
| Mold work tolerance | ±0.01 mm |
| Machine accuracy | Down to 0.001 mm (Yasoda, OKUMA, GF, Makino) |
| Runner | Cold runner, hot runner or valve gate |
| Surface finish | SPI A1–D3, bead blast, leather grain or your texture |
| Cooling | Machined circuits; baffles or bubblers where geometry requires |
| Ejection | Pins, sleeves, stripper plate, lifters, unscrewing or collapsible core |
| Verification | Swiss Hexagon CMM and Zeiss Contura; dimensional report at T1 |
| Molding | 30 presses from 20T to 300T, in the same building |
| Documentation | 2D/3D drawings, steel and component certificates, parameter sheet, spare parts |
| Lead time | Typically 15–30 days of machining after design approval |
| Tool ownership | Yours — the tool is designed to be transferable |
Values above are our standard capability for this class of tool, not fixed figures for a specific project. Cavity count, steel grade, runner type and finish are agreed with you on the design approval sheet before any steel is cut.
