The tubes for different products are an interesting choice of packaging because they combine several factors. On the one hand, the tubes must be suitable for each specific application. Simultaneously, they must be visually appealing and to allow the printing of complex designs to make the product stand out on the shelfs among the sea of competing products. At the same time, the material must be able to provide the barrier properties necessary for the requirements of each product.

Printing onto Tubes and choosing the right material can be a challenge for companies looking to launch a new product. Rotoprint has experience, a variety of materials and technological solutions to meet the requirements of the specific application.

Laminate foil tubes are commonly used due to their properties and ease of use.

• The laminate film has very good barrier properties and can retain the properties of the product for a long period under different conditions.

• The tubes are extremely easy to use by consumers due to their shape, the easy ability to use the entire product with almost no residue and the ability to reliably reseal the product after the first opening.

Applications can be very diverse, and in recent years, products that have only been packaged in tubes in the past are once again choosing this type of packaging.

• According to the barrier properties required by the product - depending on the extent to which the migration of the content must be limited

• According to the need to preserve the shape - for some products the permanent deformation of the tube is acceptable, while others require the tube to regain its shape after each use

• According to the recycling requirements - laminate film is generally not easy to recycle, but some materials are more suitable for recycling than others.

Some industries are historical consumers of tubes made from different materials for their products, but in recent years more and more industries and products are turning to this type of packaging solution because of consumer convenience and the trend to return to old and established methods.

Each industry and product impose various requirements for the materials from which the tubes are made:

• market trends in the creation of new products and their appearance
