Manufacturing Process Methods

PET Film Metallization

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film is metallized to create a high-gloss, mirror-like reflective finish.

Barrier Layer Lamination

The metallized PET film is laminated with an EVOH barrier layer and inner liner to block air and moisture.

Tube Body Forming

The laminated sheet is shaped into a cylindrical tube body featuring a hidden seam line for a seamless appearance.

Head Molding & Fusion

A plastic shoulder and threaded neck are molded and welded onto the tube body to form the top dispenser.

High-Definition Printing & Decoration

The tube exterior is decorated in up to 11 colors with optional foil stamping for premium visuals.

Oriented Cap Assembly

Custom-aligned flip-top caps are fitted onto the tube neck to ensure precise brand orientation and ease of use.

Final Packaging & Shipping

Finished tubes are inspected and packed into protective master cartons for safe transport and distribution.

Plastic Barrier Laminate

PBL tubes provide a stable packaging platform for many industries. PBL Tubes are largely a cosmetic tube although extensively used to pack toothpaste as well as personal care lines and pharmaceuticals. PBL tubes are so versatile they are ideal for foods as well as the chemical industry. With the option of 8 printed colors as well as premium surface treatments, PBL Tubes provide unmatched clarity and artwork solutions compared to CoEx Tubes. The plastic structure retains its structure through the “Memory” of plastic even after handling unlike a ABL Tube. A layer of EVOH barrier plastic protects the contents from oxygen and also prevents oils from transferring through the layers of the tube. Combined with a Tamper Evident Safety Seal (TESS), a Tube Advantage PBL Tube is a proven winner in packaging! Contact Tube Advantage for more information.
