Dealing with Cosmetic Tube Supplier

Once you have found a few tube suppliers the next thing is to start contacting them.

The more information that you can give the supplier the better. Basiclly the manufacturer or supplier will need the amount of cosmetic tubes you are interested in, the type and size of tube, type of printing ( screen printing, offset printing, hot stamping, colour of the foil etc), type of cap. The more information that you can give the better.

Basiclly the cosmetic tube supplier wants your business and so will want to give you the best price possible. When they have enough information then they will be able to give the the best price of the tubes. The more tubes that you buy the cheaper the price should be.

The problems that suppliers sometimes have is knowing what price to give you or what your yearly export targets are. For example if you are currently buying 1,000,000 tubes per year from your existing business partners and send an email asking "how much your tubes are" the supplier does not know that you are ordering a reasonable about of Tubes so will more than likely just quote you there book price. It amazes me how many emails people still get like this and not only for the tube industry.

Also it is reccomended to be transparent. Price will always be a factor but also long term co-operation, logistics hassel free ordering and delivery all play a part. So tell your new found suppliers what your objective is. If you are looking at reducing your current Tube production bill then tell them and give a hint of your target price. You goal is to get the best possible price for your tubes and as long as the supplier can win too then it is possible to to achieve both objectives.

If you still don't get results you can always go back and find tube suppliers and start the progress all over.
