Creams, Ointments, Gels, and Even Thick Liquids Often Come in Tube Packaging
Tube Packaging Market
Tube
packaging is common for creams, ointments, gels, and even thick liquids. It is
also used for solids because it provides a protective layer, preventing the
contents from breaking. Plastic tubes, as opposed to aluminium tubes, can now
hold a wider range of contents. However, environmentally friendly aluminium
tubes and cardboard tubes are still widely used. Tube closures are now
available in a variety of sizes and shapes, making tubes the preferred
packaging container for many items.
The global Tube
Packaging Market was appraised at 36.00 billion tubes in 2017 and is
expected to register a CAGR of 8.1% in terms of volume, over the forecast
period (2018 – 2026).
Impact
extrusion from a small round blank produces aluminium tubes. The wet-in-wet
offset printing method can be used to print designs onto the tube. Six tones
are frequently used. Finger pressure can be used to squeeze out the filled
content. Tube packaging is not only used for the ubiquitous toothpaste or face
wash (and other similar products).
Tube
packaging is also used to protect, store, and mail a variety of products such
as bottles, certificates, posters, and food. Depending on the materials used in
the construction of the tubes, the most common tubes are either Aluminium
Barrier Laminate (ABL) or Plastic Barrier Laminate (PBL). Closures can be
screwed on, flip-top, with hanging hooks, or even plug top, depending on the
product. With so many tubes and closure systems available, it can be difficult
to determine which tube is best for your products. Clear tubes show the
content, whereas opaque tubes allow for more labelling and design options.
Additionally, tubes may be sold as is or repackaged in rigid cardboard,
especially for pharmaceutical or fragile items. There is no denying the
importance of cost in any business decision. Tubes are among the most
cost-effective packaging options. Manufacturing costs are relatively low when
compared to other packaging materials and methods due to the ease and speed
with which tubes can be produced on a large scale. Tubes are also useful for
reactive brands that are constantly releasing new products in line with
marketing trends. New products can hit the shelves quickly because tube
packaging can be produced quickly, cheaply, and in large quantities.
