Collapsible tubes are widely used in the skincare, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries due to their protective and user-friendly design. These tubes are ideal for packaging viscous liquids such as creams, ointments, and adhesives, ensuring easy dispensing while maintaining product integrity. Whether for personal care, food products, or specialized applications, collapsible tubes provide an effective solution for various industries.
Benefits of collapsible tubes in packaging
One of the main advantages of collapsible tubes is their ability to protect sensitive contents from light, air, and contamination. Aluminium tubes, in particular, offer excellent barrier properties, making them compatible with a wide range of formulations. Plastic tubes, often produced using extrusion techniques with LDPE (low-density polyethylene), provide flexibility and durability, making them suitable for skincare and toothpaste applications.
Applications across different industries
Collapsible tubes are used in various industries for packaging different types of products, including:
-
Cosmetics: Face creams, serums, and lotions requiring hygienic dispensing.
-
Pharmaceuticals: Ointments and medical gels in protective, tamper-resistant containers.
-
Food products: Condiments, pastes, and edible gels stored in safe, airtight tubes.
-
Adhesives: Industrial and household glue solutions in flexible packaging.
-
Personal care: Toothpaste and skincare items in easy-to-use styles and sizes.
Customization and printing options
Collapsible tubes can be printed with branding, ingredient details, and instructions to enhance customer experience. Various cosmetics packaging options include stock containers, custom shapes, and different cap styles to match specific brand aesthetics. With manufacturing facilities in Europe and Italy, companies can choose from a number of customized solutions to suit their needs.
Choosing the right tube for your products
The choice of a collapsible tube depends on factors such as material, compatibility with the product's contents, and application requirements. LDPE tubes are commonly used for skincare, while aluminium tubes provide extra protection for sensitive formulations.
