Creative Mark 22 ml Empty Aluminium Paint Tubes — Box of 48, Screw Caps & Squeezable Light-Blocking Vials

Creative Mark's 22 ml empty aluminium paint tubes with screw caps are squeezable, light‑blocking containers designed to store and protect small batches of custom paint and other homemade products.

These 22 ml aluminium tubes come in a carton of 48 and are built for artists, crafters, and makers who mix and preserve their own pigments, pastes, or personal-care formulations. The metal construction limits light and air exposure, the soft‑wall design lets you squeeze every last drop, and adhesive strips at the tail make pre‑sealing fast before you crimp the ends. At 4‑3/4" long they hold modest quantities—perfect for colour samples, travel sets, and giftable sizes—while alternative sizes are available for larger projects.

How will these tubes keep my custom paint fresh?

The aluminium walls create a barrier that reduces light and oxygen contact compared with many plastic options, which helps slow drying and pigment degradation. Tight‑threaded screw caps plus the option to add a crimped tail and adhesive strip further reduce air exchange.

• Aluminium construction blocks light and limits oxidation.
• Screw caps provide a reliable, resealable closure.
• Adhesive tail strip allows pre‑sealing before crimping for extra protection.
• Squeezable body minimizes wasted product when dispensing.

What sizes and quantities are available, and which fits my needs?

This listing is for the 22 ml tubes sold in boxes of 48, ideal for small batches and samples. Creative Mark also offers 45 ml, 60 ml, and 170 ml sizes for larger projects; the 170 ml option includes an internal metal seal under the cap for added security.

• 22 ml — 4‑3/4" long, box of 48, best for samples and travel.
• 45 ml & 60 ml — mid sizes for everyday mixing and selling.
• 170 ml — large capacity, metal inner seal, box of 24 for bulk storage.

Are these tubes compatible with different paint types and other uses?

The tubes accept a wide range of viscous and semi‑liquid products including oils, acrylics, gouache, and watercolours, plus non‑paint media like lotions or homemade toothpaste. Because the lining and closure system are created for art materials, they work well with pigments and traditional binders.

• Suitable for oil, acrylic, gouache, and watercolour formulas.
• Also useful for cosmetics, balms, and paste products.
• Easy‑open caps and squeezable walls facilitate convenient dispensing.
• Designed to be crimped and sealed to prevent contamination.

How easy are these tubes to fill, seal, and use in a studio workflow?

They’re designed for straightforward filling, whether you use syringes, funnels, or spatulas. After filling, press the adhesive tail, crimp the end for a permanent seal, and screw on the cap; the overall process is fast and repeatable for batch production.

• Fill with syringes, funnels, or palette knives for clean application.
• Adhesive strip simplifies pre‑crimp sealing before final crimping tools.
• Screw caps enable quick access and secure closure between uses.
• Lightweight, stackable boxes keep tubes organized in the studio.

Who is this for: Creative Mark 22 ml empty aluminium tubes are suited for hobbyists, professional painters, boutique colour makers, and DIY cosmetic creators who need compact, durable containers for small quantities. If you produce sample sets, travel kits, or handcrafted colours and want a barrier‑grade, squeezable tube with resealable caps and a simple sealing method, these tubes offer a practical, cost‑effective solution.
