Collapsible tubes have become a preferred packaging solution for many industries, replacing traditional jars for products like ointments, toothpaste, and pharmaceuticals. Their design combines functionality, hygiene, and ease of use, making them an ideal choice for cosmetics, varnishes, and other soft-fill products.
Hygienic and practical
Unlike jars that require users to dip their fingers in, collapsible tubes allow products to be dispensed cleanly and precisely. They often include caps that seal tightly, preserving the contents and preventing contamination. This makes them especially suitable for sensitive applications such as pharmaceutical ointments and cosmetics.
Material and design versatility
Collapsible tubes are available in a range of materials, including aluminum, LDPE, and HDPE, to meet various needs. Aluminum tubes are ideal for varnishes and sensitive products due to their protective properties, while LDPE and HDPE provide flexibility and durability for everyday products like toothpaste and ointments. Options like 4 oz sizes and custom diameters add to their adaptability.
Sustainability and efficiency
The compact design of collapsible tubes makes them lightweight and easier to transport than jars or cans, reducing environmental impact. Many are recyclable, catering to the growing demand for sustainable packaging. Their efficient production and filling processes further enhance their appeal for both small and large-scale manufacturing.
