What other materials are used for making collapsible tubes?

Collapsible tubes are essential in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and personal care packaging. These tubes are designed for controlled dispensing, product protection, and ease of use. Available in various sizes, including 4 oz, they come with different caps and sealing options. The choice of material influences durability, flexibility, and sustainability.

Common materials for collapsible tubes

  1. Aluminum tubes
    Aluminum tubes are used for toothpaste, ointments, and varnishes due to their excellent barrier properties. They protect against light, air, and contamination while being recyclable.

  2. Plastic tubes (LDPE & HDPE)
    LDPE (low-density polyethylene) offers a soft, flexible texture, while HDPE (high-density polyethylene) provides more rigidity. These tubes are commonly produced for personal care and pharmaceuticals.

  3. Laminated tubes (ABL & PBL)
    Laminated tubes combine plastic and aluminum layers for enhanced protection. They are widely used in cosmetics, toothpaste, and medical creams.

  4. Eco-friendly options
    Sustainable tubes made from bioplastics or stock container materials like PCR plastic offer a lower environmental impact.
