Sample Tube Filling
The sample is the audition — the tiny tube that decides whether a customer buys the full size. We Fill Tubes fills sample, trial and travel-size tubes from 16mm up, with no minimum order, for subscription boxes, PR kits, starter sets and retail discovery programs.
Small tubes, filled properly
Sample tubes usually run 16mm to 19mm, with fills starting at our 0.25oz floor. Small tubes are not easier tubes — a low fill weight in a narrow tube leaves no room for sloppy setup. Our tooling starts at 16mm precisely because this work matters: the sample has to look, feel and dispense like the product it represents.
Subscription boxes are home turf
Our company's first job, in 2015, was 250,000 tubes for a subscription box order — a deadline-driven run we took on when another manufacturer's machine broke mid-job. A decade later, subscription box orders are still welcomed here, with standard turnaround of about a week and emergency turnaround when a ship date can't move.
PR kits, starter sets and discovery programs
Influencer kits, retailer samples, starter and travel sets, hotel and airline formats — sample tubes show up everywhere a brand needs a small first impression. We pack them to your program's spec, from bulk pack-out to finished sets.
The sample is step one
A sample that converts becomes a full-size product — and when it does, nothing has to move. Your full-size tubes run on the same 16mm to 50mm tooling family, under the same quality system, with a team that already knows your product.
