& Laminate Tubes
Laminate tubes are made from multiple layers of materials (e.g., HDPE, EVOH, Aluminum) that provide an excellent lightweight barrier, protecting the contents from oxygen, bacteria, and UV degradation.
Laminate tubes can be printed directly, reducing the need for separate labeling. The stand-up cap and the robust, ‘bounce back’ memory of the laminate tube eliminates the need for a secondary retail box.
Our digital printing process is far more environmentally friendly than traditional printing methods. Master carton requirements are also reduced as the compact, shatterproof tubes transport in lighter-weight corrugated shippers than glass or cans. We have the new fully recyclable material plastic barrier tube.
The Laminate Process
Laminate tubes begin as flat web stock, manufactured by the leading global suppliers. The tube is then printed to your exact specifications on our HP digital printing presses. The printed web is formed into a tubular shape and cut to the desired length to become a “sleeve.” It is then “headed” and joined with a molded shoulder.
We can add a tamper-evident sealed neck membrane for product protection. We complete the process by capping the tube and then inspecting and packaging it; this is a completely integrated system, with the entire package assembled in line. Now your package is available for use.
