Packaging tubes differ fundamentally in the material they are made from, the manufacturing process, its ability to protect and its appearance:
Polyfoil® tubes are the best laminate tubes. They are produced in a clean room and are coated with an original patented technology containing plastic. All materials are food or pharma certified and are processed with low-migration colors and varnishes. The tubes therefore combine protection and beauty for the product in a unique way, as well as convenience for the consumer. This brand is protected by Neopac worldwide.
Aluminum tubes are made exclusively of aluminum, which includes the hull, the shoulder and the head. As a result, they provide the great protection to your product.
Laminate tubes consist of various layers and have strong barrier properties. We distinguish these as aluminum-barrier laminate (ABL tubes) and plastic barrier laminate (PBL tubes). Each pre-printed laminate is welded to a tube.
COEX tubes are co-extruded tubes made of polyethylene with an EVOH barrier layer, which is printed all over. The have a high restoring force and look brilliant when in use.
PE tubes are extruded tubes made of polyethylene, which is printed all around. The barrier properties are low, on the other hand they are suitable for recycling since they are made from mono-material.
IML tubes are usually made of polypropylene and are produced through the injection molding process (in-mold labelling). Printed foil is placed into the machine and molded.
