Laminate Tubes

Description

Laminate tubes are a hybrid of aluminium tubes and plastic tubes. They efficiently protect contents thanks to many overlaid layers, one of which is the barrier layer. Both longitudinal edges of the laminate tube are welded together and constitute the body which is then sealed to the tube shoulder. Depending on the product and its content, barrier layers are made of aluminium or EVOH plastic.

There are two Variants;

ABL tubes (Aluminum Barrier Laminate)

Laminate tubes have a thin aluminum layer inserted in-between the plastic layers to protect contents. The result is a plastic metallic tube that meets the requirements of high-quality pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.

 

PBL tubes (Plastic Barrier Laminate)

These are all-plastic laminate tubes without aluminum. PBL laminate tubes have several layers, one of which is the EVOH (Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol) barrier layer to protect the tube’s contents for maximum shelf life.

Laminate tubes have undisputed aesthetic qualities: they benefit from first-class digital printing. The latest « invisible » side-seam sealing technology combined with the right printing techniques allows for 360° printing cross the tube’s surface.

Laminate tubes are mainly used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, in which their quality has been highly appreciated for many years.
