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.
Mater carton requirements are also reduced as the compact, shatterproof tubes transport in lighter-weight corrugated shippers than glass or cans.
